Here's a surprised coon....I expected to see him explode but he didn't until he figured out he wasn't going anywhere. Still got to weigh him. He's huge.
He kinda tore the snow up and I even had a picture of him hanging upside down from the railing. Still kinda makes me feel bad that we can't coexist.
Came home last nite to an unplowed road....my neighbor, who is retired and notoriously lazy, was at the bar and had left me to do it. I work in the snow all day and come home to a road with snow so deep I can barely make it up the hill to the house while he's drinkin'.So I plowed him out and myself out. Then I hung that coon from his outhouse...looks like a freaking bobcat hanging there it's so big and he still hasn't noticed it yet. Watched him come home and he parked his truck within 20 feet of the outhouse with the headlights lighting it up. Have another beer.....
If my dogs didn't do the dirty work for me, I would be forced to take a similar/same route. Most chicken keepers know that coons are just about the apex predator...smart and deadly. Mink/weasels follow closely at second, IMHO. Good job!
