What are the best ways to hunt? Let the experts -Rekieta thread regulars- inform you!

Armadillo's are cool, they get a pass. You can't have the weird little dudes digging under your shit though. I get why you moved them. They're fucking goofy things.
Well, the first one I released immediately ran off towards to the highway (they're a lot faster than you would think) and got hit by a truck. I even opened the trap facing the 1,000 acres of land, but he did a u-turn and ran straight for the road. At least I tried...

If they hadn't had burrowed under my AC I would have just let them be. I have another burrow I just found out behind my back fence. They've sort of burrowed under the fence, but there isn't any harm of them being there, so I'm just letting them be for now.
 
It wasn't that he killed the racoons that rubbed people the wrong way. In many cases, they're varmints. Killing them is fine.
Only if they actually are being a nuisance or, worse, a threat (or are acting bizarre like they might be rabid and then it is an actual public service). If you have chickens they're pretty much kill on sight. It would be bad enough if they just snatched one every now and then, but like foxes, they have the nasty habit of surplus killing and will rip an entire coop of chickens to shreds.

Another reason is if you have a stupid dog that will try to attack it. They will rip a dog to shreds. If you've ever seen what a raccoon can do even to a large dog, it's ugly.

Most of the ways they're a nuisance, though, are relatively harmless antics like getting into the trash. So just take the trash out in the morning instead of putting it out at night. I forget if Nick had some justification for the raccoons, but the skunk was just an innocent bystander that got caught in a trap and for some reason he decided just killing it was a good idea and then repeatedly drowned it.

The one bad thing about armadillos is you can get leprosy from them. They can cure that now but it's a kind of arduous process involving a lot of drugs.

Yeah supposedly 20% of all 9 Banded Armadillos in the US are Lepers. Or at least carriers, they don't actually get sick from it. I think Leprosy isn't too contagious, you'd have to spend a lot of time around Armadillo Lepers before you caught it, but I still wouldn't want to risk it.
Shit dropping off you like Baldwin IV, fuck that.
Not even for a free permanent holiday to Hawaii.

Don't let @Trombonista catch you talking shit about armadillos.
 
While we were discussing the ethics of torturing animals to death with tripods while boiling eggs someone posted a clip of Barnes accusing Null of extorting him by musing the possibility of an ethics complaint on MATI. Am I retarded or is that Barnes asking for an even more actionable ethics complaint to come his way?
 
It's your turn to shit up the thread, start talking how liz Fong smells irl or something.
Unironically the only reason I started posting on KF was Nick mentioning Elliot on one of his streams and I was like..

Also, yes, he smells like cheap perfume.

I teleported forward after suffering through pages and pages of coon talk.

We need an AI picture of Rackets getting raped in the prison shower by a bunch of muscular humanoid Raccoon creatures with malicious grins on their faces. American History X style.
I don't know of any prison shower rape movie scenes, but this old video immediately came to mind. LMFAO

Best way? There isnt one.
Learn your prey, be able to read the landscape. Study up on wildlife behavior and ecology. Dont be stupid around game wardens. Respect local regulations and property rights. Dont shoot yourself, your buddy, your dog, the adjacent landowners house. DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH WILDLIFE ENFORCEMENT.
