I don't know what you can do about this situation, maybe try to get a dog! I don't if you can buy a spray but I would call DEC or Cornell on this topic

[Paula]

I'll spray it carl

It's to bad the season is closed,because they are good eating.You need a fence that is electricly charged and shock there asses.

[Paula]

we had a elctric fence when we had our goats but lightening hit it

[Paula]

anyways, he just left with it. taking it to park with water and lots of trees. it should be happier there

Good luck, Paula...

My Daddy was a coon hunter..He always said a coon would walk through a mile of field corn to get to a sweet corn patch...

its a shame they get so nasty because I think they look so cool!!!

When uncle had his farm the racoons destroyed a good amount of his crops every year and very little damage from the deer.

[Paula]

we have deer and rabbits go through our garden and they never damage the plants. i think we got our neighbors racoons because the barn came down

You are allowed to kill them if they are destroying crops or property, or if they become a danger to people or livestock. I will see if I can dig up the nuissance animal list, I was just looking at it a week or so ago.

I've tried shooting and trapping them. Kill one and 3 more come to the funeral. The only way to stop them is with an electric fence. Go to tractor supply, they have some inexpensive models.
