With a pellet gun?
I killed a large Opossum once. Regretted it ever since. With a PB (12 gauge shotgun with slugs), White-tailed deer was the largest game I hunted back when I was a kid. Never even got to shoot at one, but did flush (accidentally) a perfect mirror image 14 point 240 pound buck to another hunter in a tree stand. I was young and inexperienced. (sigh)

I've long had problems with feral tom-cats costing multiple veterinary bills to patch up my cats. When I bumped into this bobcat I worried there wouldn't be enough left over for the vet to reassemble if it is territorial as feral 'house'-cats. Mouth-squeaked into 35 yards, and taken with a .177 Falcon PCP producing 22 foot-pounds with 10.3 grain JSBs at 985 FPS.

@OldCrow Nice work on the coon. What kind of yardage was that shot at?
I've shot a lot of raccoons and possums with a 500 fps, .25 caliber. Mostly sending 34 grain Eun Jins. It may be slow but it is very effective.

There is a quote from Ernest Hemingway that comes to mind....
Elk is my latest harvest yet (powder burner)
Skunk is my largest airgun harvest

Well, this was the biggest groundhog to date, at around 25 pounds. Not a clean kill unfortunately. Don't take pellets to a slug fight.
The raccoon was more sizeable when killed before something got to it before I could retrieve it by morning. We have some coyote around here, so it was either that or some possums. The hole was from an NSA 110gr slug. I have a video on it in this forum called Perfectly Quartered.

My largest was with my smallest air gun. A 200+lb boar hog with what started life as a Hatsan Flashpup .177. I was shooting 18 grain NSA slugs at 1060 fps. My next largest was a 175lb boar with my FX Maverick .30 shooting around 120-125 fpe(can't remember), using NSA 61.5 grain slugs.
