WTF. Thing is half the size of my dog. Animal control is in there at the moment and it is really quiet down there for the last 10 min.

A cornered raccoon is a dangerous animal. Good luck!

Won't it make a miata faster? Or is that only the Flyin Miata version?

Freaking PITA Good thing the dog heard it as the basement door was open. My dog kept it in the basement till my wife closed the door. Animal control got it out after about a half an hour. The animal control officer said that I was lucky it was not a skunk.

BTW it was my fault I left the window open last night as I was doing some welding and wanted to clear the smoke. I guess my #1 project is now building a screen for the window.

Crossed my mind except the gun cabinet is in the basement. I also did not like the idea of discharging a weapon surrounded by concrete walls. Ricochets are a bitch.

Yeah. Small rounds like to bounce around.

I'll shave it naked if you'll get the tattoo gun.

Arrows don't ricochet They can break if they hit the concrete, though, which sucks.

First thought that crossed my mind was a tube from your exhaust pipe to the basement window. Maybe even throw in a SeaFoam service while it's hooked up

This is what that CCI CB Long and Quiet 22 ammo is for. Makes you .22 into a very high power pellet gun.

Don't wast it. Raccoon is good meat. Their skins are bringing good money these days also, but since it's a summer coon, it still wouldn't be worth much.
