I've had a pack of em here in my area for a few years. Did some late night stake outs over the last 2 winters - froze my arse off - only had one good shot at them with bow + arrow (missed by 10")
--- Too residential to shoot off my 22 at them - plus the P.D. is 1/2 mile through the woods.
My neighbor has a closed in porch, sits there nice and cozy warm with his compound bow setup (He competition shoots) - he's been pickin them off here and there when he has the time - nice and quiet.
Was out almost a month ago - 4 am having a smoke, leaning on the fender of my truck one walks right by on the other side, SOB I say to self - not even a rock to throw at it, moments later another comes up the other side of house to join his partner - at that point I stomped the ground - man did they run like Heck.
Best advice is whats been said - take away potential food sources,keep the pets inside and they'll usually move elsewhere.
