Coons! (Another One Trapped, Post 76)

[Paintball]

Well there goes my lunch break plus a bit. For any other guys that were not around for the first 2 coon threads, they are definitely worth the read. And Speed, after having read those threads, I am glad that I only have an ugly ******* possum under my house. No body thinks they are cute.

Sure, the are kinda cute when they are little and aren't biting you.

The trap has been empty lately, and the trash & horsefeed unbothered. On the other hand, the next door neighbor has been outside with a .22, says he's racked up 5 coons so far. Guess the ones I had just moved next door.

I guess a new family of coons moved in, had some trash cans overturned and found paw tracks on the vehicles. I put out the trap and here's the first for this season:

I was in the westbank of new orleans and they had a guy holding one by the leash walking down the street..
I chuckled a bit, lol.

Here in my area (Covington), we have had a problem with over population from time to time. When the numbers reach a certain point disease sets in, mainly distemper. One of the symptoms is docile, friendly coons that act tame and look like they love you. I'm not kidding. They aren't tame, just brain damaged. If you have pets around be real sure they are up on their shots.

Guys they blocked Bayou Shooter at work along with everything weapon related. Trying the phone "Tap Talk" thing now. Once I figure out how to post pics and gif's I'll be back.

Oh no!!

Another one bites the dust. Must be a new family moved in, caught this one this past weekend. There are at least two more that we've seen. I've lost count, but this must be #8 or #9. This particular one was the wildest yet, growled and snapped, but then just waddled away when I let it out of the cage.

what do you do with them once caught?

 

[JBP55]

Release them in a wildlife area like Decatur Street.

LMAO! That would be pretty funny...

Walk right up to Cafe Du Monde during the day and drop off two racoons. I would laugh :P

I live right in the middle of a 300,000 acre national forest, so just relocate them enough miles away so they won't come back.
