I wanted to ask my fellow 'coon hunters about a raccoons ability to take a hit.
I have personally witnesses 'coons take a hit from multiple 22lr shots, a .300 blk sub, and a close shot with a .223 ~ and they still ran off or escaped.
I was watching a hunting video with a guy who shot two 'coons with a ten gauge and the first shot stunned them but did not kill them.
It does not happen often but I saw one take a close range hit with a .223 and it did not phase the 'coon. This one really left me scratchin' my head. Without a doubt, they are TOUGH.
What's been your experience?
