5 bandits in 1 night!

My backyard is sure getting some serious traffic at night lately. Word must be traveling fast about my cat food among the bandit population :D
First I had a fairly big one come in at 9:30pm (the earliest ever). Then at 11:15pm another slightly smaller/avg. sized one came in. He stayed for >10min. and ate 3/4 of the cat food. Then at 1:40am a family of 3 arrived together! which is why I am up so late :) 1 was normal sized (15-18lbs), 2nd one was HUGE. I mean fat all around, probably another 24-25lbs like the one I shot in December of '08, maybe heavier. The 3d one was a little one, probably born this Spring. I can see the big one being its mother, but not sure what the regular sized one was. Maybe its offspring from last year, still hanging around? or its sister? I left the flood lights off tonight and like I suspected they all came. They don't come as often or as many of them when I leave those powerful lights on. I had to turn on the gun light on the .25 Condor to see what's out there.
This means I had 4 out of the 5 (minus the young one) in my crosshairs. It was very hard for me not to shoot, but I endured the ordeal and restrained myself. I hope I can hold out until October when raccoon season starts :) Now would be a good time to start taking bets, or maybe start a poll if I can last until middle of October without shooting a bandit? hehehe ;D
Perry:
Wow 5 in your yard in one night. What willpower you have Harry.
Wade.S:
Hey buddy, if you have to ask, my bet is that your NOT going to be able to hold out. Good luck trying anyway!!!!
dk1677:
Wow yes Harry! That's so tempting!
Atchman2:
Man! I know what you mean about willpower! I've got a bunch in the low lands and I know where a TON of them live that I can travel and shoot. However, our season starts NEXT WEEK! I'll squirrel hunt and call coyotes until then, but after that WATCH OUT raccoon world!
