Howdy:
Got home from work today and found my buff orp killed by a predator...I believe she was pulled off the roost as I found some feathers near the coop door....and, I found her, sans head and neck one the other side of the yard.....I'm thinking racoon....I know there have been some around the neighborhood, but this is the first time for having one in my backyard....time to start locking down coops...do you think #6 is too small for racoon?
I'm sorry! That just sucks!
If you are referring to shot size, #6 it should kill a coon with no problem..
If you are asking for raccoon weight, 6# is on the small size, but certainly can still do some damage....
If you are asking if a raccoon can kill a 6 lb bird, absolutely...
