coons are evil, sadistic killers. they’ll kill just to kill. have had it happen with my chickens over the years.
I now kill all coons that come anywhere near the chicken house. I did trap one this year that I got the vibe she wasn’t a killer so I took her a 3 miles away and let her go.
I swear to god I think I trapped the same coon 2 days later. Coon looked exactly the same. This time the trip was 5 miles.
I have had bobcat problems the last few years. Shot one, missed another. They are bold MFers. Broad daylight coming right up to the backyard to kill.
