Climbing after coons or porkies is a pretty easy way to get one of them. Sometimes if you shake or knock a coon out of a tree, whoever is waiting with a club at the bottom just isn't ready enough. It's best to start swinging before the coon hits the ground and then get ready to start running too. At times, an animal will go into a hole. If you can't reach in and grab his hind leg and pull him out (as long as he can't turn around), you can always find a stick or briar that can reach him, split it, push the stick against him, then just twist him out of his hole. Of course if you have a gun, and you've shot a gun once or twice, you can easily shoot the animals instead of just using sticks and your hands.
