#3 Yeah, night, that's when the racoons go after your chickens.

I had one once that killed one chicken a night until he got them all, despite my best efforts with a have-a-heart trap. I was so ticked that I went to the store and bought dressed chickens and hung them up over a leg trap. Took three more nights and three more chickens, he was pretty clever. I nailed his tail to the henhouse door and my wife took a marker and drew a picture of a racoon around it.

#5 I'd much rather hunt with Cheney than ride with Kennedy.

#8 You hunt raccoons with dogs and shotguns, not rifles.

#9 Shotguns are nice, but Jimmah hunts with oars.

#10 Crusader Rabbit! That rang a bell, but no memories, yet.

(For those of you too young to even remember the name, a '50's TV show - cartoon, I presume.)

#11 Phil? Aquaintences?

It appears to be one of the other Lafayettes scattered throughout the country.

"You hunt raccoons with dogs and shotguns, not rifles."

There is BIG difference in "hunting" raccoons for sport, and waiting up for the bastards to kill them for preying on your poultry.

I use .22 Thompson Contender.

There's more than one way to kill a raccoon.

#13 Most of my kind swear by the number 4 boulder for use with racoons, although it's been regulated out of existance in the lowland areas because of environmental concerns; they tend to want you to use a steel alloy substitute instead these days.

I bypass both of those and generally stick with a pile driver instead.

#14 Raccoons? I hit one in its ample backside with a pellet gun (It was all I had at the time). It turned and gave me the dirtiest look I've even seen. But it did run off.

#15 You hunt raccoons with dogs and shotguns, not rifles.
The last time I killed one we were both inside an 5x8 hen house at midnight with the hens flapping around. Not the best place for a shotgun, used a 22 rifle. Pistol would have been better, but you use what you have. (Yes, that was a different racoon from the one previously mentioned.)

#17 Phil... It's in Colorodo, but you can see my confusion....

Cold showers
It’s time to shove those short-sleeved shirts and lightweight jackets to the back of the closet and replace them with thermal long underwear and goose-down parkas.
“We’re finally going to have a week of winter,” said Chad Gimmestad, a National Weather Service-Boulder forecaster.
