Hey Green and Gold, you wouldn't by chance still have the "disco light" would you? Would you trade for a 340/S? Don GibbsGreen and Gold wrote:What worked was a strobe light---suspended it down the chimney on a wire and after 20 hours (one night) they were gone. Guess they weren?t the disco types.

OK Guys, here is my best 'Coon story:
I bought this old farm house of mine in 2001, and started gutting the upstairs back wing, and repairing all the damage the renters did to the place. The renters had installed a woodstove and ceililng box in the shed roof addition that is the dinning room. But the did a terrible job, and left a large gap on one side where the insulation was exposed. Trying to keep the place warm, I filled in the gaps with a 6" wide piece of foam board, and I also built 2 X 4 hatches covered in foam board over both stairwells too keep heat down stairs and demo debris up stairs.
One night about 1:30 am my dog is barking in the front stair well, loudly. I put her on a leash and grab a 22 rifle and a flashlight and head upstairs. A coon chewed a hole in porch roof and was crawling around in between the ceiling and roofs of the one story parts of the house. However, I can't find the darn thing anyware.
Figuring the coon headed out doors, I leave the dog inside with my girlfriend and head outdoors to see if I can find it and take a shot. First thing I hear is a loud "CRASH" from inside, so I start heading back in. Then the dog barking and the girl screaming loudly with more crashing about.
By then I am in full sprint to see what happened. As I open the kitchen door, I see a coon hanging on the back of the stove, my English Shepard barking at it, and my girlfriend standing on the sink screaming at the top of her lungs. So I say, pointing at the coon: "your dead", to the dog: "good girl, keep her pinned down" and to Jen: "get down off the sink and stop screaming".
I did poke the coon in the head with the 22, but decided that shooting it off the stove might be messy. I had Jen hold the door open as I turned the stove away from the wall (while wearing leather gloves in case it came at me). The coon dropped to the floor and ran out the door with the me and a rifle in pursuit. Couldn't get a shot off in the dark.
Darn thing broke in again a week later, so I sat on the roof at 2:30 am with a 12 gauge and a flashlight. Shot her off the top of the chimney as she crawled out.
Last summer I shot two more off the roof after they climbed up a ladder 2 by 2.
Final tally: Coons: 0 me: 5

The first time I used the 12 gauge it wasn't too bad since it was a broadside shot off the top of the chimney. The other time I used one, I found a coon in my barn, far too close to an NOS hood box. It kept moving, I kept shooting. Bad idea to use a gauge to begin with, much as less inside a 100 year old wooden barn. It was kind of messy to clean up too.
Since that was the only gun I had at that time, as I had just bought the house, Dad gave me a few guns from home. A 22 semi with a magazine, and my grandfathers old 30/30 lever action came home, and I bought myself a .375 magnum pistol. I think I need a .22 pistol with a laser sight for varmits at close range though...
Updating the count, since I forgot about the one in the barn:
Me: 6. Coons: 0.

Joe, I might recommend a Sig Arms model Mosquito, great little semi-auto 22 or the Ruger model MK III or used MK II, both very good semi auto's Crimson Trace has lasersgrips for the Rugers & possibly for the Sig. not cheep ($200.00) but very good quality & not hanging off the weapon like the cheaper one will..
I do have a old USMC VN buddy who own a gun shop in up state NY but I don't know for sure where, who could fix you up I'm sure..

I agree with Kenny. My buddy has a Ruger model MK III or MK II. Not sure what one. But it is a very nice gun. It has a heavier barrel so its actually pretty accurate and a fun gun to shoot. Plus its cheap to shoot!!

I recommend the MK III over the MK II, it has some design improvements and you can get it with a fluted barrel to cut some weight off. Extra mags are dirt cheap
unlike the Browning's.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the advice. I will look at pricing one out soon. I really like my 357, but it just leave too big a hole in varmits at close range. And, I like the idea of having a clip for fast loading.

now i know you pee siting down. a .357? talk about a girls gun. i will let you borrow my .50 ae when you show up next month. that is a real hand gun. it works great on bunnys also (turns them inside out and covers 6 pine trees with the pieces).

You also need to take in to consideration the cost of running a larger caliber. I'm guessing that yo probably reload if your using anything that large but what is the the price difference between .357 or .38 sp if you want and 50 cal ammunition. It cost me about 30 cents a round for 9mm last summer and that was for a box of 1000. what would 1000 rounds for .50 cost? Not to say I wont have one one day but for now I'm just thinking out loud.
