Yeah, they'll gnaw on your leg if you hit 'em with one of those. I'd use a broadhead.
i planed on hunting them with a broadhead i was just wondering if they would work thats all
The blunts knock the snot out of squirrels & rabbits. If it doesn't kill em it knocks em out long enough for a well placed knife blade. I used to walk around with my brother in the evenings many years ago & he would take rabbits along the edge of our yard in the weeds with the big old hard rubber blunts. They would make for good "shoot & release" opportunities on coons I would think. HTH
We ran coons with dogs for years, and shot them with our bows. Blunts, out of 70# recurves, rarely penetrated, even steel blunts. When we switched to compounds, things changed, but even then we mostly used broadheads. Coons are just plain tough.
Broadhead with a scorpion to stop the passthrough should do it.
