Predators everywhere!

... the coons just go up a tree and glare at me.

In that case an air rifle (it's quite don't you know) or a subsonic .22 rim fire round, a spotlight to reveal the eyes of the coon, plus a well placed shot right between the peepers, will permanently dissuade any coon from ever again snacking on your chickens. If the coons become reluctant to look at you then loudly kiss or suck on the back of your hand and Mr coon will be unable to contain his curiosity and therefor look right at you.

Gotta look up that ammo. My little gun takes 22LR. That's about all I know. What sort of air rifle? Got a link maybe?
