Maybe... but I'm not sure he can get in there, unless he climbs it... the cat-proofing ~might~ keep him out too... And I'm not sure he'd venture that close to the house, the dogs probably would keep him a little wary.

Well he must've climbed the field fence to get in the back forty. But I guess he could've dug under too. Those apples were probably what was drawing him. Maybe if you dump them outside the fence he'll stay out there and eat them. But then again, that may just draw more coons, so I don't know. My FIL had some guy come and set humane traps in his old chicken house because the coons were eating all his cow feed out there. He had it covered with a piece of metal and a cinder block on top and they managed to push it off anyways and get in the barrel. They're crafty little boogers. The guy who was trapping them was taking them to his property and setting them loose so they could hunt them with his coon hounds. I think he caught well over a dozen before he stopped, and I'm sure there's probably some down there again. There's just no feed down there right now.
