Around here coons are a nuisance and a danger to small livestock like chickens, ducks etc.Only trouble I've had with a pet door was raccoons. IN Town living, they are not afraid of humans anymore.
Had one manage to climb inside one our big blue trash bins a while back. He was trapped, had made sludge out of the one trash bag that was in their and since the top was still opened, Thank you bandit, and it had rained overnight, he was miserably filthy.
I just kicked the thing over and let him run.
Pellet pistol would have made easy work, but I see no reason for that.
Not his fault we took over his ancestral stompin' grounds.
Interestingly, we lived close to the river then and you could see marauding coyotes and tentative deer in the alleyway often, in town suburbia.
My mom, visiting, went right through the sliding door screen once when she saw a huge Indiana deer in the back. Deer aren't this big in Texas unless you get up on the caprock closer to Colorado.
Totally get it!Around here coons are a nuisance and a da German to small livestock like chickens, ducks etc.
We usually declare war on them this time of year, trap, shoot etc. No quarter!
