Racoon Population Estimation

Was trying for a badger. Wound up with a trash panda.

Again before my first cup of coffee, I heard Little Dan on tree. Drank the first cup and then the 2nd. Panted up, grabbed chopper and headed out. The light revealed 6 shinning eyes, 4 low, 2 high. The 4 low were wide open on a horizontal limb. Pssst, whoop, click, FTF, cycle Psst, whoop. 2 high covered with limbs and leaves called for a trip back up the hill to get more ammo. During the trip for more freedom pills, the coon adjusted his position to the side of the tree for a wide open shot. 3 trash pandas to start the day!!!
 
Been on a dry spell here of late with the coon killing. Last night I got out of the shower and was notified by my wife that Little Dan was treed. Over the bluff I go with the AR22mag. Foliage made location a task but an eye was spotted. Shot at the eye and hit a front leg. He came out pi$$ed off. Finally got him calmed down after he went up a little maple and was clear of the dog.
