Rac-bastard-coons

F'n coons

Racoons are cute but nasty


Since we've lived in this house raccoons have broken into the garage refrigerator twice, stealing a whole salmon, and then  the leftover turkey.  They break into the garbage can we store the bird food in. Sometimes I'm alerted by the sound of the lid hitting the deck. On one such occasion I beamed one with a flashlight, still in the can. It looked at me with disdain, then carried on. One killed my neighbor's dog; a whole herd set up housekeeping in another's attic.  This year, of a sudden, we can't keep our humming bird feeders filled.  Most every morning they're empty, often laying on the ground.  Since it's a night job we know it's not squirrels, however we've yet to catch them, so maybe it's unfair to stereotype them as inveterate thieves and home invaders, but there you have it.  We do. F'n coons.

I have hated these bastards for years because of the damage they've done.
I read years ago that they are more plentiful now than before European people came to this continent.
They are a pest, plain and simple.
How about an "Obama Coonskin Coat Company"?
Put hundreds of thousands to work and create warm clothing which millions will be needed with all the power plants that are being shut down?
If the PETA girls complain, make them work as pleasure girls for the coon skinners.
Either these skanks can do their public service or it'll open up some spots for coon boners......
I think I can come up with a group of guys who would fill the bill.They'll be glad to do it ...Just give 'em a place to wash their feet and throw their rugs.

Try a suppressed .22 pellet rifle at 1200fps.

I have a .17 cal that does ok....we have "squirrels" -- the frikken tree rats that attack sunflowers first, then the beans and squash.

I shoot the little mo-fo's without a thought. Damn cat is too old to hunt them and the dog too blind with cataracts.

sumbitches wanted my winter squash and THATwas the last straw.

My pissant, libtard neighbor told me last fall that he wasn't planting a garden this here coming year....squirrels ate it all and it wasn't worth it to put out traps and bait......

WTF?!?!?!

There are a lot of critters that need to be re-introduced to a fear of man: coyotes, racoons, cougars, bears, government officials, gang bangers and etc.

Wha'? You put the free feed out there. They just assumed you were spreading the wealth, eh? ;p
You are living in Merryland, no?

For practically nothing you too can become Shiva, destroyer of Squirrels. I got 31 in one summer, and a nice crop of fruit for myself.

Bastages LOVE seafood. They ate all of my goldfish twice.

OK, that's all well and good but I live close to Missouri City, TX. So, how do I get rid of the coons? In these parts fly bait and coke just makes them meaner.

Are you using the right fly bait?, needs to be Golden Malrin

Leaves a a trail of entrails to the dead coon. Maybe Texas ones are tougher than ours in Southern Indiana

I was driving to see my uncle one evening when when four raccoons - one large one and three smaller ones ran in front of my car. I was on a sweeping curve with on coming traffic so and sudden changes in my speed or direction would have been ill advised. Besides, they were raccoons.

So I ran them over. I hit three of the four with three different wheels on the car - both front wheels and one rear wheel. Glancing in the rear view mirror I saw one small critter dash across the road into the ditch.

When I got to my Uncle's and told him about this he complained about my poor aim and told me to get back out there and finish the job I had started.

An Oneida Victor 1 1/2 longspring and a tablespoon of molasses always worked for me.

Pack of them killed an elderly lady here in Florida in front of her house. My neighbor put some sweet stuff on rat poison and picked up the bodies a few feet away. I wondered what the vultures were doing in his yard that day.
