what chews through chicken wire?

[eggchel]

Im hoping to eventually get my night pens set up with a hotwire around the top and bottom to dissuade the raccoons, possums, and skunks. Although Im a wee bit concerned about how the skunks will react when they touch the wire with their little wet noses! PHEW.

And releasing a mad coon or possum isn't much fun either!

i'd rather pull a bears tail, then mess with a cornered coon.

nope,,, they wouldnt see a wire as a threat,, they need to see a "predator" type thingy lol
and if you catch 1 in a live trap ,, throw a blanket or something over it, they USUALLY wont spray if you move them carefully,,, a hint,,,"they dont like their stink either" lol
and if shooting 1,, most think head,,, WRONG,, they need to be shot in the lungs, so they cant take a breathe in, that they need to do to spray out

DONT ask me how i learned this

If ya sprinkle flour around your cages you might get a print and it will give you a better idea how to prepare.
