"I did kill coons whenever I could...they are efficient predators and one got in my chicken coop one night and killed 1/2 of them,..."
Yep. Coons are like monkeys when getting into chicken pens and coops--very good at it. Up this way, besides coyotes, we also have to be on the lookout for bears in chicken coops. They've been known to surprise a few people going out to feed them. ...need something that's light to carry and will penetrate through about five feet of their hair, hide, flesh and bones.

LOL I felt I had my hands full with coons, possum and dogs...Put down a dog that was trying to get into the pasture. Perfectly legal in Michigan if you have hoofed animals...but had a neighbor that shot his neighbors dog in his turkey pen killing his turkeys...It cost his insurance 2 thousand dollars, turkeys have no hoofs...Neighbor should have keep his dog at home...
Bear would scare the bejeebers out of me. We could hear coyote once in a while and this was only about 40 miles north of Detroit....the one that raised the hair on the back of my neck was something I never heard before and even my dog stopped to listen...After talking with the neighbor we figured it was the howling of a fox and found a fox hole behind one of my barns..Never saw one on the property tho.
