    Yep, mean.
    Why not just kill them outright by shooting them rather then have them
    die a slow lingering death.

    That's not what happens. A seed farmer I know told me that you can hit a racoon with a shotgun and sometimes not kill them. He said that a little pie plate with coke and rat poison would be far more humane...they take 3 steps and die. A gunshot wound
    can be torture for the animal, and you probably won't get a chance to finish the job.

    I, OTH, live in the mountains, am a competitive shooter and killed

    groundhogs and at least 100 coons. I always take head shots. When
    the bullet hits, life ceases and the vermin simply falls over. I

    I had a co-worker (way, way back when I spent time
    where others wanted me and paid me to show up)
    who had a pretty fair size, and obviously strong,
    fast, and skillful dog, who would regularly kill
    racoons that would wander into her yard.

    I thought WOW! I would not want any of my animals
    messing with one of them. We had dug out ponds
    in our back yard, and were trying to raise
    goldfish, schubunkin, koi etc. I kept thinking
    if I just got rid of one, maybe two more, the
    problem would be over. 37 racoons later, I
    finally realized they were thick and could
    reproduce faster than any fish.

    Why would you want to kill a raccoon. I've got a lot of land near the forest and it is on a raccoon trail with up to several dozen of them coming through every week because of my water features and fruit trees. I tried trapping them but the numbers
    caught were enormous and not worth it. I just got a big terrier and his pee and poop scar the living daylights of the raccoons and they don't dare enter my property any more whether my dog is indoors or outdoors. It is just as simple as that. Try
    anything else and you will fail. RE

    I catch coons all the time. Best bait is nasty canned catfood. Very pungent odor and the coons love it. I use a "two entry live trap". When I get one, I just relocate it up at the big reservoir 15 miles away. Coons lives, my wife is happy, happy wife
    happy life. Live trap about $50. Cheaper than divorce and a batch of layin hens.

    I was attacked by a rabid raccoon that was in my barn that houses my pasture raised chickens. I got bit. The raccoon is dead and was turned into the health dept. for testing. Today I saw more tracks out there and the have-a-heart trap that was set was
    closed with the bait gone and no animal in it. I need to protect my flock from these animals. Traps do not work well, obviously. They need to be poisoned. It might not sound humane, but the damage they do is unbelievable. And being attacked was
    absolutely terrifying.

    Oh, and one more thing... I realized that I was "feeding" something with the rat poison I was putting out long before the attack. So, no, rat poison does not kill raccoons.

    I don't like the drowning thought. That seems really cruel. I had one I trapped that almost seemed tame. He took a hot dog right from my hand. Many give you the puppy dog eyes, in the hopes that they will fool you into thinking you can get your hand
    close, so they can try and rip it to shreds. I have never seen them as vicious as you describe and I have trapped over 50 of them. Maybe they knew you were going to do horrible things to them.

    Please don't put rat poison out because cats could get it. Please don't harm cats. As far as coons I can understand resorting to poison, but some poisons do not kill them because coons are so darn tough. I you cover the back of the trap with limbs, tarps,
    or other stuff, they will go in the trap instead of fishing the food out from the side. I have caught and relocated over 50 of them, so I know it can be done. Sure there might be some nights you don't catch one, but you will. If you don't want to catch
    cats, then use marshmallows to set the trap. Coons love them. Eventually, I got tired of trapping these and resorted to other measures. I am still having problems with them.
