The critters are only a problem when they can't figure out what ground is theirs, what ground is mine, and when you see a human sometimes they are so uppity, they forget to run like the wind. This rapidly growing coon has already broken one bird feeder, messed with 2 more, and knocked over some of the container garden the wife goes herbs in. I don't like killing things I'm not gonna eat, except for cowbirds, for obvious reasons. The wonderful folks who bought the 10 acres next to my ground yet just had to build their house close to mine, has pretty well ruined my shooting spot I could use from the back deck if I wanted to. Their boy is about 3 years old know, and I never know where he and Momma are gonna be. It sucks. This coon is quite sneaky. I have not had this much trouble surprising one that had "moved in" with us before. But I still find the results in the morning. Every time I'm up I will go check with the Surefire. .22, and and tactical approaches. It's usually done in a day or two, I've ben after this kit for about a week.
Maybe if I stopped pretending I'm a PH in Africa stalking a leopard my client wounded...
