My buddy purchased a Ruger Frontier .243 from us for his 10 year old. They went hog hunting last weekend to try out his new rifle and upon climbing the enclosed tree stand found a rather annoyed raccoon had taken up residence there. He tried yelling, then poking at him with a stick. No luck, so he took out the only handgun he had with him, his constant companion Kel-Tec P3AT. He fired past the raccoon, through the tree stand wall. Raccoon just hissed. So next shot was into the varmint from about 3 feet. Raccoon recoiled, then hissed again. Second shot into the intruder, again recoiled and hissed the ran out the entrance, past my buddy, about 3 feet down the ladder and then fell 10 feet to the ground and scurried off into the woods. Blood all over the stand but the raccoon ran off. I guess he didn't know he was supposed to die.
