I had the same issue. They eat my minnows better than any crappie had. No matter what I did they figured out a way to get the lid off. They are some smart critters for sure.

Raccoons are tough and pretty smart. A couple of times the coons got into my minnows.. They figured out how to push the weights off of my aerated cooler lid and lift lid.. Gonna add a clasp and lock to the cooler.

I've seen them undo the end of a live trap to escape. Zip ties put an end to that, and the cocky Houdini that thought it couldn't be caught!

I guess if I even come across a coon half the size of our dogs it might be a fair fight? That would be one big coon thoughThey make quick work of the every-day sized coon.
We have a pair of Plott hounds, the males 90lbs and the female is about 70 at 1.5 yrs. The female does not like to lose, we butt heads often lol.
As far as the Gamo thing- and airguns in general, I've spent many years fiddling with that hobby. I ran a side business making targets for the largest airgun importer in the US for a few years before retiring the side-gig work. I still have a cabinet full of airguns, but none of the high dollar stuff. Airguns are a great thing, that still seems to be heavily misunderstood here in the US. The airguns that make the US market in chain stores- like Cabelas, are for the most part about as awful as they get, with a few exceptions I suppose.

Gamo convinced an extra large porcupine to vacate the area yesterday. For some reason the vultures seemed to have toothpicks!

That time of year here in the Ohio valley. I trapped 2 yesterday & glad to thin them out some with the garden really cranking now.

Which brand airguns would you recommend. I have been looking around some at different brands. Every manufacturer claims they are the bestI guess if I even come across a coon half the size of our dogs it might be a fair fight? That would be one big coon though

The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
