Well the 3 don't mix well. My wife said something is odd tonight. We have 2 chicken houses and all the chicken went in to ne house not both ot them. So I wnet out around 10pm tonight to see what was up. Well I found a coon in the house, thats the last time he will do that. But I also found out a 44 mag and a small chichen house doesn't mix well. My ears are still ringing. Plus if you have the gun close to your face and you have a max load in the shell it hurts your nose. Ya it govt me good. But at least the coon will never eat my chicken feed again

Hi Old , We had three coon living in the barn with our 12 chickens for years . My wife put out a small pan of the cheapest dogfood or catfood we could buy everynight and we never lost any chickens or feed to coons and had more eggs than we could get rid of or eat ourselves . The coon lived in the rafters of the haymow . The biggest problem was them $*itting on the hay . But I guess we've been lucky because the horses have never gotten sick from it . I've gone to turn the lights on in the barn and gotten a hand full of live coon before . That'll wake you up ! And them ! One night I ended up petting the coon for a couple of minutes before it wandered off . And these ARE wild coons not in captivity . I just don't have a vendeta out for critters so they don't seemed to be alarmed by me . The man upstairs put all critters on this earth for a reason so who am I to judge them and execute them ? I feed them and they leave my stuff alone . If I was going to eat them that's different . But I've tryed coon and I didn't care much for it , it's a little too greasy . It may not work for everyone but it works for me . ...Randy

Dude! What do you use for deer? A 105 mm cannon? I have knocked off a lot of coons, but I use a 22 pistol or 22 rifle. I just want to kill a couple of varmints, not tear the barn down!!! If I shot off a 44 mag in a small building, I might not want to tell anybody about it much! LOL! Take care, One of my former neighbors shot his F150 with a 12 gage, a coon was in his garbage. That shot cost him $800. He missed the coon.

Wear safety glasses.Those pellets bounce. Wearing hearing protection is without question.

coons, coons, coons, and more coons. i fought them for years. trapped and shot them and i still lost the war. they finially got my 2 chickens out of a hardware cloth cage. i give up. just buy my eggs and chix from the store now. coons still come around every night, but nothing for them to kill around here now so they just snoop around and move on. real pesky critters.

Use a couple of bullets as ear plugs. a 44 mag. will give you permanent hearing loss..... your 44 will also fire 44 special a milder load and still kill a coon..... .....

Been there and done that. I always carry a .357 and I have shot so many coons with it that there are not any left in my part of the county. Now when I go to shoot at a woodchuck or coon I end up hesitating and putting in earplugs first, can't afford to damage my ears anymore. I often pop open the cylinder and grab a couple of shells real quick and use them to plug my ears before shooting at coyote, woodchuck or coon.
