Friday I shot a raccoon six times with 165 grain .40 caliber jacketed hollowpoints at about 3 yards. Shots 1, 5 and 6 were to the head. On shot 5 he was "neutralized" but still breathing hard so I delivered the 6th to the head trying to end his misery. Shots 2-4 were aimed center mass because he was fidgeting but holding his ground. It is believed he was rabid.
With each shot he just postured up higher and would spin and then stand still. I was reminded of the end of Scarface.
Is this normal or was this just an exceptionally tough animal? I know I didn't miss shots 1, 5 or 6 but it is possible I missed on 2-4.
