Wow! That guy wants IN! That's what "Raccoon Away!" (also known as a CO2 pellet gun) is made for.
It went around every corner and did the same thing, I think my neighbor has 100lbs of sasuage hidden up there, or something

I prefer a break barrel or PCP "Raccoon Away" solution in .22 caliber. Works out to about 150-200 feet depending on how good the shot is.

Yep, they work. Mine is just a quieter solution. A kill shot is a kill shot and dead is dead...

I've just started using the Hornet so no kill shots with them, in theory better penetration but I suppose like most things gun, its gonna come down to shot placement.

You haven’t seen the size of our mosquitos!
That's a skinny/hungry 'coon compared to the ones I see. Probably going for some tasty bugs under the shingles. At least it's not too complicated/expensive to fix, but you would need to do something to keep the masked bastard from coming back... maybe some sort of bug bomb up under the roof there...
What is the brand and model of that rifle? I believe that’s my next vole killer tool! How much for a box of those slugs??

At 25 yards it put one of those Hornet pellets clean through both sides of a heavy ABS plastic litter box and embedded in a 4” post 2 ft behind it
I might have to stick to using bird seed and a plastic bucket in catching those voles! 
I’m more likely to put a hole into my beautiful home using that vermin canon!

Simple solution is not to shoot toward the house. In fact that's kind of a Golden Rule.
Anyone know how to patch circular holes in my roof? Asking for a friend
True, but the little critters are living under the front walkway.
So a little hard to shoot away from the house vs sitting on the front lawn looking toward the walkway and grass line. Been fighting these monsters for about six years now with varying success. Trying to go away from using the mouse trap, bird seed, and bucket method which has worked just great!
But looks super ghetto with respect to curb appeal.
I gave up the fight last year and the lawn looks like a herd of cows came trampling in.
Really wish there were feral cats in this neighbourhood.
