Great news Beefy, one down ?????? to go.

 

[beefy]

my guess is at least 5 more to go.

so far:
3 possums
2 coons.


i got my traps at the tractor supply store. they had 3 traps in one. that largest one is the only one any good for coons. the medium one they just move around the yard. kinda wish i had a bigger one.

And they'll be back!

And trap smart too. Then you'll have to sit up and shoot them to get rid of them.

Anthonyjames: I don't think a pellet gun will do the trick. Coons can be BIG

I just trapped 2 in 2 days. I bury the food under the trap so they really have to work at it.

??? more to go!!

 

[beefy]

at the 10:30 check i found a trap that had been sprung with no varmint inside. reset.

1 oclock check: caught another coon.

that makes 3coons:3possums

Make a coonskin hat and send it to me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HATE coons so much!!!!!!!! They killed half of my flock this time last summer. I hate them, hate them and triple hate them!!! Arggg!!!!

Okay now that's off my shoulders good luck getting the rest of the little boogers.

It seems that somewhere there is a coon factory just cranking out those little bastages.
Curse you.. racoon maker factory.
We got so many now this year its hard to belive there are any left now.But they keep coming. And coming.
I think they are making up for the drought we had last year.

I am running out of spaces to dig up graves to bury them all.
Oh yeah.. word of advise.. dont throw them on a burn pile to get rid of them.Its rather nasty.. trust me..

So last week the neighbors dog killed some of my chickens. I burried the chickens. A few days ago something decided to did up a few of the chickens for a snack. A assumed it would come back so I set the live trap out on top of where the chickens are buried with some cat food in (assuming it was a possum or raccon).

Guess what I caught in the live-trap this morning?

A chicken

She must not have gone in the coop with the others last night and I locked her out--so she decided to help herself to some breakfast this morning in the trap!!! I've never caught a chicken in a trap before
