Carl Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gthphtm Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 When uncle had his farm the racoons destroyed a good amount of his crops every year and very little damage from the deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYBuckHunter Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
