need extremely low parallax scope or just get a red dot? caused hunting fail

If they are that hard to kill I suppose the quickest way to keep going with what alredy didn't work is the laser suggestion.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why not just carry a backup, like a .357 with snake shot shells?  An escaped wounded animal can be dangerous...

because i don't want to make my neighbors mad, it's the main reason for my shrouded disco. I could pull out my ar15 but i'm sure the sound of a .223 at 3am would be a rude awakening

Not sure what your neighbors would say, but if mine asked me to choose between his loosing a wounded pest or finishing it off at 3:00 in the morning I'd be inclined to rationally consider his question (if the noise became an issue I might also say heck with this and get the county to set some traps).

My $.02, no offense intended

I actually have a live trap and caught a couple of opossum and a bunch of coons  but i guess this one has avoided it so far. Also i noticed you live in alabama.. people here in california don't seem to be very gun friendly, heck a few years back the neighbors called the cops on the local kids playing airsoft outside. Besides i've killed opossum and big coons before with a clean single shot but i screwed up on this one
