“The first one you trap. Chop him into itty bitty pieces.
Spread them pieces all around the yard.
You won’t have any more coon problems for a long time.”

how true is that. I have some coons that have killed 8 chickens the last 2 weeks. Got one.

One more is still killing.

Our neighbors SIL is in the insurance business and owns a small place of about 11+ acres in NORCAL. Sort a gentleman farmer ala Green-acres. He raised chickens,goats some crops etc. He said the coons would raid his chickens and kill them for the shear pleasure. He got tired of replacing the chickens and getting out of bed at 03:30 with a loaded 10/22 trying to engage the “raiders”. He finally bagged one threw it in a freezer then staked it out ala Roman cruxifiction style on the main path they used to raid his place. The coons got the message and stayed away for several months, at least until the “message” finally deteriorated. They were damn clever and destructive as he11.
