Haha ok so I can scrap the light theory! Unless like a previous poster had said~ it can help me find the target!! I haven't had any trouble yet~ but I just want to be prepared

You think that's bad, check out the thread where a gut feeds roadkill to his chickens

Finally, chickens get thrie sweet revenge on the predators

Ohhh this thread just got disturbing~ chickens covered in racoon blood getting their sweet revenge

I think I'd rather be the one disposing of the racoon... Somehow I think the mere sight of that might give me nightmares!

That's what happened with me. The first couple times they ran a bit but learned lights don't hurt. Later, I used the light 4 different times to shoot each coon. Niteeyes will not work long, they need to associate the light with pain.

After two separate attacks and the loss of three chickens....one a broody on eggs....I set two traps.

Three racoons, one posuum and two feral cats I have now gone several weeks w/o a loss. Traps are still set.

However, motion lights will be added when my DH finally comes home from working out of state. I want to make sure of what I am shooting at.
