[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1819693, member: 25884"] I have a very very intense hatred of raccoons... for all the reasons [USER=39695]@SBMF 2015[/USER] stated and a couple more personal ones.... They would get into the chicken coops... yes, tear wire off windows... had them manage to open hooks and eyes... including figuring out the ones with the little spring loaded slide under the hook... they got into the pen of 30 plus young purebred show birds and tore them apart... 1/2 grown chicks with wings torn off, legs torn off... strew all around in the woods and next to none of them having been eaten.... I went ballistic and it made me despise the da@#ed things ever since. There was a family of them that had the audacity to go in the open run door one evening when I was going up to lock them in for the night... I would let out a different pen of birds for an hour or 2 each evening to get some fresh grass and bugs.. we had the dogs and it was a couple hundred feet up the hill from my kitchen window...usually very safe in the daylight hours...... all of a sudden the chickens come flying out the little door into the coop from the run squawking and flying ... I grabbed the .22 and went running up the little hill.. it wasn't even dusk yet... and shot the female and 3 young ones coming out the little run door... and the big one that I assume was a boar coon, jumped at me coming out the door and I missed him.... had only lost 1 bird inside... and I used it as bait and caught that sorry piece of ..... 2 days later in the live trap and GLADLY shot it.... They will move sq bales off the top of the metal garbage can lids, to get in them, make a mess of the feed....knock things off the table and shelf in the big barn where the chute is and we keep ear tags and such.... I HATE THEM and will go out of my way to hit them on the road if I can also.... them and ground hogs I despise... [/QUOTE]
