[DieselMinded]

I've had it !!!!!!!



Living next to a COON CLUB is really getting old



They must release 30 every Sat Night and only get 10 back and the other 20 are attacking my House.



I CANNOT HAVE A TRASH CAN OUTSIDE ... . Last Time they drug the whole trash can about 50 YARDS into the woods !! then they finaly got it open. I walked on my back poach and No trash can It took me about 15 mins to find it !!



They just Flatted my boys Swimming Pool ... I guess they were thirsty



THIS MEANS WAR !!!!!!



Last night as I was readying for bed I heard something in the garage ..... FLUUUUERR,,,,,FLURRUURURR,,,,,FLURRRR ...



I got One :-laf



And the garage door is closed... . YEAH BABY !!!



I got the spot light out to make sure it was away from the door before I let my 110# German Shepard Out and I couldnt spot it... ... ... As I was scanning my garage with the spotter I seen something moving ... its a diffrent one and its trying to get in to help its buddy ... . it was squzeing its head under the GARAGE DOOR and then pushing up and trying to get its sholders threw ... . that Guy was really trying to get in and help his buddy !! What A PAL.



I couldnt find the trapped one and it was giving one heck of a distress call... .



I let the dog out ... ... acually I HAD TO PUSH HIM OUT ... . MANS BEST FRIEND ... YEAH RIGHT



He quicky turned around and jumped up on the door and began Pawing it :-laf GO GET EM BOY... ... . :-laf After he scrached the paint off the door I let him in and put my boots on ..... ONE ON ONE ..... well I did have a 9 Iron ... . too Much damage with the 20 GAUGE ... ...



The coon is in my trash Can !!!!



I walk up and see this... ... ... .





NOw how am I suppose to kill this thing I open the door and kicked the can over and I had to kick the can a few times to get him out and I just watched him waddle away... .



I think Im getting soft

well softie..... I would suggest a live trap and then take it over next to the guy who is letting them loose and release it in his trash can or better yet... if he leaves his door unlocked let in to his house... . the kitchen is the best spot

Personally I have a silo that has a floor 15' down into the ground and I dump my garbage into the bottom and burn it once a week. They are always jumping in to eat what they can and I shoot them when they do and then burn the garbage. :--)

I used to never mind the varmits until I left a bag of dog food in my truck box one night and the next morning I had coon crap and all kinds of nasty stuff all over and inside my truck. I soon traded that truck in!

What is a "coon club"? Not sure what the law is, but to me this falls under varment, and if there is property damage I would leave food out away from the house and let them have it with that 20ga when they coma around to feed. I would resist poison as it might get eaten by other animals that you don't have any problems with. If you are close to neighbors and are concerned with noise of a firearm the live trap and drowning the litlle critters works too.



Still curious as to what a coon club is.

Silenced 22 that's what I used in the city limits.

Coon Club ... . Could be a big Beating stick... ...



But We have Gun Clubs in my parts and every Sat they have compitions with their coon dogs they release Some Coons and who evers dog trees the most they win a trophy and the dog gets ribbons .



They have signs up along the road "COON HUNT" and arrows pointing towards our Gun Club .....



This is the same Gun Club that has Truck & Tractor Pulls on I think The last Sat. of every month. (THEY CHANGE OFTEN)



We have a couple cats and Im sure that they will keep getting caught in the HAVAHEART traps .



The problem is they Hunt on the State Ground and we Own 30 Acres next to it so they get flushed on our land .



When there in season I guess there worth about $8 a Hide .



Anyone Local is more than welcome to come over and hunt them . I bet you'll have your Bag limit in less than an hour . .



More Coons then Birds it seems.



I just about tried to pet the one in my Trash Can but I decided against that ... LOL

Live trap and then sell them back to the same guys. At least get

paid for the aggravation! :-laf

 

[DieselMinded]

I may just get 10-15 HavaHearts ... LOL ..... I will just get one and see who I should return them to .....



I sould spray paint the Coons yellow and see if they come back from the Club again .



So what do you Bait them into the HavaHeats With... . Dog Food ?? Liver ??



Thing is its out of season to trap them ! I think ?



Thanks

I'm no coon expert, but sardines would probably entice them, but dog food

is probably cheaper. If you kept this up, you might get them trained to just load

up in the truck without a trap - wonder how much those guys are paying for them

initially?

 

[d906670]

I have used chicken bones and cheese curls, down here in warren county they seem to love them.

Go down and buy yourself a nice savage or marlin bolt action bull barrel . 17 HMR. Those things are deadly accurate on varmit. hehe...



If they really **** you off, use a live trap, catch the koon. Give him a mock trial and sentence him accordingly based on how bad he was... Either gets let go or death penalty... And this is not the 20 year california death penalty wait, about the 20 second wait... by firing squad, . 22 caliber swift and sweet...



If your going to kill an animal, always remember to get a good shot in the head so they don't have to suffer. A nasal cavity shot can put the animal in a lot of pain...

Ill Ask A Buddy Of Mine He Might Trap Them For For You. He's Pres Of Somerset Sportsman Club.
