The night was icy cold I stood along
I was waiting for the nightly raccoon patrol
And when at last they came into my sight
I squeezed the trigger of my H&R
Oh mama, oh mama comfort me
For I know these awful things have got to die
But when the war for freedom has been won
I promise you I'll put away my gun.
A shot rang out, I heard a coon cry
"Oh please don't leave me here alone to die"
I realized his patrol had run away
And left their wounded comrade for me to slay.
"There's nothing in this world I would not do
If there's mercy in your heart you'll let me live"
And in his eyes I saw a look of pain
As the mussel of my gun moved towards his brain.
The dawn was breaking as I reached my base
I will not forget the look on that coons face
Fear, agony, and torment where all there
Oh but to your memory, mother, his life i took. these LYRICS are from the Irish Rebel Song - Sniper's Promise. (

i got the other 2 coons that had got away. One was up a tree and i drop him with a head shot and the other was trying to swim for it but i shot him in the spine and he die in the water. I also got out my crosman 766 and kill a few black rats. It's very smokes now because of the Forest fire that are going so there no hunting tell Monday. these coons had been in my trash and i was piss at the noise and mess they made so my gun was to put a end to them.
