The raccoon is on the small side, at least by the tracks. The male broiler weighs 11.75 pounds ( I just wieghed him). I figure he has dropped some weight, he was larger than 12 lbs.

The best deterrent to raccoons or foxes is a hollow point through the head of the varmint. Clean them out in the spring and more do not show up until the next spring. At least that has been my experience. I do not want to loose one single bird that I have worked hard to produce over the years...
