Default 'Coons.....OT

Did the people seven miles away curse your ancestors, and
bring the coons back?

I've trapped a bunch alive and released them far (at least 7
miles)
away, with some freeways and other linear barriers between.
Bait was a
can tuna (open, obviously). Drowning them is an alternative
to
releasing them where they'd be someone else's problem.

The big ones can be quite bold and nasty, particularly if
you have
their babies.

They're quite clever and dexterous too- if you use the
Have-a-heart
(Home Despot) traps be sure to weight the trap down so they
can't
easily rattle it from outside and trigger the door. IIRC,
Harbor
Fright has clones of the traps.

Supposedly, mothballs repel them.


Best regards,
