I'm told a coon, and her litter of young are in the nose of the Exis trailer. Every year a coon sets up housekeeping there. That would not so bad, but they always chew up the wires.

I don’t like coons very much. They tear up a lot of things!

put a pile of Hot BBQ chips and a couple gallons of orange soda outside next fall they'll build a tar paper shack next to it and leave the trailer alone.

If it happens every year, why aren't you doing something to fix the problem and prevent the coons from getting in there?

You know, as do I, that there isn't any evicting of raccoons, once they're settled in, the only answer is to solve the problem permanently.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Evidently he likes the yearly drama. Gives him something else to post about on the Fire.

I was out in the field at the time, the notion of putting a 22 bullet through the trailer is not a good one.

Good thing you weren't in your pajamas. Apparently if you are it's poaching.

I bottle fed some young ones, they still had their eyes shut. Crazy as a pet coon is right.

I named two Bonnie, and Clyde. Their offspring may still be about.

Good on you Wabi! Gotta love a coon story with a positive ending. So many times coon stories end up bad for the coons.

Coons eat whatever they can, sweet corn, shield corn, mulberry's, chickens. They get by.
