No doubt about that. And a kid may be the one they attack. I use a Zabra A-10 surger on by electric fence in the goat lot. That thing will put me too my knees. Coons hate it.
I've seen Coons domesticated before but they have to be captured shortly right after birth. Crows the same thing. I'd go with the crow in that respect LOL. They can be reasonably trained and quite commical. Last time I had a pet crow was when I was a kid.
I live in a rural area and have lots of wildlife on my place including deer and turkey. Two things I don't allow near my imediate area near the house though are coons and Copperheads. If I see them when I'm out hunting etc it's live and let live.
A crow is possible but no coons for me.
They hit puberty and all hell breaks loose and I seriously doubt my vet would agree to neutering one...:))
I’m not really overfond of them, anyway, especially after the rabies deal.
Copperheads and rattlers die here, immediately.
All other snakes get a free pass.
Back when I was a teen, a tiny “cute” little Copperhead baby went right for my Dobe’s foot.
He just didn’t quite make it.
[and I threw away those sneakers. yuck.]
At least rattlers will try and warn you away...Copperheads just have general bad attitudes.
