I sat out last night for 5 hours waiting for the hogs to come to a baited spot that they've been hitting every night for the past week. They didn't show, and as I was packing up, this bruiser cruised in for a bit of corn. With a shot fired in anger from my 300 HAM'R, he went down hard, for the count! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/09/full-54774-251494-verydeadcoon.jpg) Had not used the HAM'R on a coon-sized animal before; I think I may have been over-gunned a bit. If he had sent the pigs in instead, he would still be out and around! Bad call on his part.

Might be a touch too much   People have no idea how many of them dang things are out there, until you start trapping and shooting them.

Shot a couple last month while calling with my .17 Rem. Like Goldilocks porridge, it seemed " just right"...  ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/XFItUGd.jpg)

I think there are plenty more where those came from. This is from a couple of days ago. I count 9 in this one picture. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/12/full-68284-269193-coons.jpg)
