The most humane and effective manner in which to deal with coons is to dispatch them. Scott's method is likely far better than my method of dispatching them inside the cage...very messy and frankly traumatic. Coons don't go quietly, at all.

That was Dad's method. I just see that they have a lead/copper deficiency so I inject them with some as soon as possible and they quiet down very shortly after that. Anywhere from 17 to 40 grains of lead/copper or 60 grains of lead.
