If you use anything other than a bullet to kill a raccoon, make damn sure it's dead in one shot. They're small but they're tough little bastards and they get really pissed off when you shoot them. One customer was telling my dad how he shot a raccoon with a .177 and then later in the night the same raccoon tried to break into his bedroom window just to attack him. Aim for the eyes or something soft to make sure you hit vitals.
