Patty, if I had your coon problem I'd turn it in to a lot of fun. Why not hunt them like a leopard? Leave a baited trap(live squirrel or otherwise) out at night set yourself up in a nearby hiding spot having bathed with unscented soap or better yet using a scent shield type spray for bow hunters. Have either a small light on it or better yet one rigged that you can gradually turn up to high simulating the moon. Get the raccoon in your sights and nail it with a high powered break open air rifle...............aaaaah good times (and you don't have to endure an 18 hour flight).

If you hadn't guessed the economic crisis prevented me from going back there for a Buffalo hunt.
