[Sca-cooks] 'Coons and chickens...

[Siegfried Heydrich]

    Oh, god, don't do that. Run them over with a John Deere bushwhacker,
hunt them down and beat them to death with a flanged niblic, but don't use
antifreeze. It's an agonizingly painful death - I've lost cats to people who
decided the local kitties were a pain and did that. I never found out for
sure which one did it, but if I had, we'd have had some exceptionally fat,
sweet crabs out in the bay soon thereafter . . .

>Depending on how good you at shooting, may have another suggestion.  My Mom
just walk in and I was telling her about your message and I knew she has had
problems with coons and possums in her coop too.  So I asked how she dealt
with it.  .357 and a bowl mixed with yolk and whites from eggs and toxic
anti-freeze.  Just leave it out at night and bring it in the morning.  Coons
disappeared.  I know, not the nicest way to deal with them but you got to do
what you got to do.  Coons was ripping heads off the chickens and leaving
the bodies and the area was known for rabies, so getting rid of a problem
before it got out of hand.  Hope this helps, Aurore
