You have to be kidding if you think you are going to kill a coon with a field point or a practice broad head. Coons are tough!!! Let me tell tell you a little story im not proud of. I was fourteen and was running a trap line. Used to dispatch all my animals with a baseball bat. Well I caught a 40 pound monster coon in a 1 1/2 inch coil spring and I tried to kill it with the bat. About ten whacks later the poor thing still wasn't dead, and I had to go back and get my .22 rifle. That was one of the lowest points in my hunting and trapping career. From that day forward I dispatched everything with a my rifle. The pain I inflicted on that coon almost made me quit trapping and hunting. That was twenty years ago, but that lesson never left me. Ever scince then I make sure whatever I do, I kill and animal fast and quick. If I have any doubt about the outcome I don't do it.
