Does a coon come down headfirst, or does he come down butt first?

I just had my first encounter with a raccoon. I found out that they come down head first and FAST!

Depends on there position when you shoot em

well, when i hunt them they ussually dont come down the tree, they ussually fall out of the tree

Ive seen them come down both ways!

It depends. If their in a big hurry, they come down face first. If they aren't in a rush, they come down butt first. If their shot, they tend to tumble.
