Bears, hell racoons. I had them getting into my garage thru my cat door to get to the cat food. Took the food out and put a couple live traps in their with a small plastic cup filled with cat food. Came out the next morning and had trapped a couple of them and they were pissed. They had shredded the plastic cups and pissed and defecated everywhere. Took them to the edge of my ditch and shot them with a .22. Trapped a bunch more over the next couple nights. I remember telling the story to a lady I worked with and she wanted me to release them. Told her to give me her address and I’d bring them over.
The raccoons used to get half my sweet corn. My dogs were scared of them. I used to trap them for selling the fur. My father-in-law fed birds and the squirrels would throw the millet seed out on the ground to get the sunflower seeds. So he quit putting out feed. The squirrels then tore his lawn furniture cushions all to pieces. Nature can be a beotch in a lot of ways.
