We killed it. Was able to shoot it after it came out after the 3rd time!!!

Oh, ok. I didn't see that. But great! Good job!

I have heavy duty netting over my pens. I had a coyote go over a 5' fence into a pen and it jumped back out along with some of the birds. I did loose a few birds that day. Since I put the netting up. The only thing I have caught in it is an owl. I didn't have quite enough to cover all of the pens so I bought some online that wasn't what I thought it was but put it up anyway. My problem then was an owl. It went right through the crappy netting and killed some birds. I got some good netting and put it up and the owl tried to go through it again but this time got caught in it. I don't know if it will stop a coon but I have seen coons on my game cameras and so far they haven't bothered the birds. I also have electric wire around the coops and pens and concrete under the gates all do to losses from predators in the past. Good luck...

This is our barn and their run...at night the door is shut with double locks. 12” wire runs under the barn all around. Nothing can get in at night but our run...didn’t think I would have to worry during the morning hours

it looked fine. My son was able to shoot it. We are going to dispose of the animal but we will look at it.

It was a female, looked like a nursing one.

Hmmm....how would one go about finding one. We moved to Kansas a year ago so learning all about raccoons.

I'm not sure. Maybe do some research? But anyway, your chickens (and ducks?) are more important then the raccoons....which aren't even pets, etc.
