(warning graphic) caught this little guy stealing my corn

helomech · 04-11-2008, 01:16 PM

My motion light kept going off last night and by the time I got outside it would turn off. I finally saw what was doing it and shot this coon at 200 yards. I thought it was a pretty good shot and wanted to share. Atleast he wont be stealing my corn anymore.

Time to light up the BBQ !
Nothing like corn and coon.

What motion light do you have that detects movement at 200 yards?????!!!!!

What was the weapon of choice for a night shot like that?

It is a solar powerd motion light that is mounted 200 yards from my house. Here are some pics of it.

Here is a pic of my house (where I shoot from) I am standing by my the light.

I was hoping it was another hog, so I was using my browning A-bolt in .30-06. Just a little bit of overkill.

Umm...Yeah...

That coon didn't have a chance against a .30-06. You coulda hit him in the toe and killed him with that. LMAO. Nice shootin'

Nice shot.
Little bastards keep coming up on my deck looking for dog food or whatever the heck they want. When the dogs go out its 30 minutes of howling and whining trying to find it.

I'd love to pop the thing but living within the city limits my ability to shoot the d@mn thing.
UGH.

Nice shot!

AAAhhhhhh. I see now. I'm not going to ask how you have tied the power cord in to the power on the pole. I'm a safety professional. I'm also not going to ask why you have a motion detector light placed strategically by a deer feeder within range of your house.

It was a good shot.

typically a motion detector light that is solar powered doesn't need outside power ... you see it gets power from the sun so the only safety issue would have been sunburn (and i'm sure he put on sun block before he put it up ) and the ladder to get up the pole
