Congratulations, 710 (and your wife, who did most of the work
)
I don't like coons for several reasons - one is they will climb up in peach tree, pull one off, take a bite, figure out it isn't ripe enough, throw it on the ground and pull another one. Rinse and repeat. I've gone out and found upwards of 50 peaches on the ground under my trees in the morning. Then the next night, they do it again.
Another reason is that they will strip a fig tree over night, climbing their fat 30#to 45# bodies into the limbs, breaking them off. And then the little bastards will invade a watermelon patch and claw a hole in the butt end of a melon and then scoop out the meat, leaving a hollow shell. You go out to check your melons looking for a ripe one. Pick it up and "AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH".
Around here, about 80% of all skunks either have rabies or are carriers, so they have an immediate death sentence if I encounter one. Skunks are naturally nocturnal. If you see a skunk in the daytime, call the cops or animal control - it has rabies.
