If you're going to shoot at a caged animal. this is about what you can expect.
I can't believe he fired again!

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says 68-year-old Larry Godwin was using a 22-caliber handgun to shoot the caged raccoon at around 11 a.m. Saturday when the bullet ricocheted off the cage and struck him in the lower abdomen on the right side.
He dropped the gun and it fired again, shooting him again in about the same spot.

OH no really release it back in to the wild across the street from your inlaws house. :seesaw:devil
Luckiest raccoon north of the Mason-Dixon. Davy Crockett is rolling in his grave.
I understand the need to remove pests, but if you clearly can't or just aren't trying to aim well enough to get a clean humane kill, then a result like this is just karma.

Next time, just let it go in the woods, Rambo.

...and it just awesomed the bullet to ricochet, and did the same to the gun to make it happen again!
Not trying to jack the thread but... Here's another one about two losers who I wish took a ricochet to the temple.

Two men were arrested in Toledo after they allegedly took turns shooting a German shepherd while he howled in his cage.

The dog, named Sarge, was hit by six shots, but survived. He's now being held by the Lucas County dog warden.

One of the men, Lawrence Mick, 57, the dog's owner, is in the Lucas County jail, where he was being held on $25,000 bond. He's charged with a third degree felony for using the weapon, and if convicted, he could be sentenced to one to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The other charges he faces in connection with the incident, including cruelty to animals, are all misdemeanors.

Mick has a drug conviction and is prohibited from using a firearm, the Toledo Blade reported.

Mick and another man, Adam Collins, are accused of taking turns shooting the captive dog with a 25-caliber pistol Friday in Mick's backyard of the Federal address with a 25-caliber

This story just reminds me that there should really be more serious sentences for animal abuse cases.
