An old coot who we hired to trap some beaver out of our lake was the county “go to” guy for coons. I’m friends with one of his sons, awhile after his dads passing he laughed and told the wife and I what his old man was up to.
He would go into the nicer subdivisions and trap annoying coons for a fee, then release them near another nice subdivision across town, the old fart had a real scam going around the entire county.
He said his dad probably caught this one same old coon with a bobbed tail at least 10 times over the years...
LOL!
Back in the summer of 2006, I was transferred back to my company's big manufacturing plant on Detroit's east side. There was a cat that kept coming onto my deck in the middle of the night causing my cat to go crazy, trying to fight it thru the back doorwall.
Well, for about a week I kept trying to catch it with my hav-a-heart live trap but all I caught was 2 possum and 2 coons. So what I did was throw the trap into my trunk and on the way into work, I let them go about a block away from the plant.....LOL!
Never caught or heard the cat again...........
