If there are sturdy trees: a shot from an elevated position would give the best chance for a headshot.

More detailed guide

Follow these instructions very carefully. Any mistake on the part of a hunter could result in an immediate, excruciatingly painful death.

  1. Set two foot-hold traps in the path of the Rex.
  2. Place an XXXXXXL connibear trap next to them.
  3. The above two will most probably fail to capture your cute quarry. Not to worry! Just make a 500x500 foot dead-fall trap next to it.
  4. Now your prey is trapped!
  5. The shotgun part is a bit problematic, though. You can't kill a Rex with just a shotgun.
  6. Now, It's a good time to use your contacts at the US Air Force. Call for an MQ-1 Predator.
  7. Give the trapped beast a wide berth i.e. at least five hundred meters.
  8. Order the controller at USAF to fire a Hellfire missile at the dinosaur.
  9. Hopefully, the T. Rex is dead by now. Walk up to it and shoot it with your shotgun for good measure.

Now you can claim to have killed a Tyrannosaurus rexusing traps and shotguns. (I forgot to mention that you'll need a hot-tub time travel machine or a real life version of Jurassic Park to encounter this type of prey. Happy Hunting!)

As detailed in the classic story A Gun for Dinosaur(1956), even large caliber rifles (Nitro Express .450, .470, or .700; .416 Weatherby or Remington Magnum) would have difficulty stopping a T-Rex, much less the slug shotguns typical of 19th century big game hunters. Heavy gauge cable netting or a deep trap could work, to at least partly immobilize your prehistoric quarry. Best bet would still be an anti-tank missile or 30mm autocannon.

What do you do when raccoon hunting?

Most people use one of these two methods. The first method is shinin'. You use a high powered spotlight and shine the light into the tree tops at night looking for the 'coons eyes. The second method is using dogs. You must get good hunting dogs and train them well. If well trained, they will track the 'coons for you and point them out for you. Those are the two main hunting methods but you can also trap for ''coons''. You can trap with either live traps or foot traps. Live traps are more accepted for the fact that you can release the trapped animal, being a 'coon or another animal, with little harm if you aren't satisfied. You can use anything from peanut butter to chunks of raw beef to lure the ''coons'' into the traps.
