'Coons on the roof

-
If I were nearby I'd happy to make a .22 caliber hole through the part of your choosing. It is near silent.

How do i discourage the 'coon orgies on my roof nightly? Woke up last night to a sound from the attic that sounded like a flock of birds landing on my roof. It scurried across the attic very fast (too fast to be inside the attic on blown in insulation and beams) and too loud to be on insulation so Im assuming it was the roof. We heard a squeeking for about 30 seconds and then all went silent. Wife thinks the coon momma left a little one on the roof and it was crying so she came back up and got it. Darn things can scale a stucco wall with their claws. No trees overhanging the roof so obvious avenues of approach are taken care of. Must be climbers. Wife said we boys gotta pee up there. Sounds simple enough? I said let me put a tray of Prestone's sweetest up there, but wife had a cat die from that so she's against the poison. I saw a 3-some up there rolling around with a flashlight one night. Critters were going at it! I hit them with a hose. Talk about a **** block!



Not related to coons , but a few yrs ago , I

I cold tell it was 2 footed, and had claws , it took about 7-8 steps then stopped , like it flew off. I aint got a clue what it was, but it had to be pretty good size to make that noise thru the 2'' foam insulation below the metal .-----??

Any terrible things happen next days: Damn breaking, killer hail storm, bridge collapse?

That's got to be some of the funniest shat I've read in a long time. :lol:
 
I have some land in the country. Mostly timber. If I catch a opossum, it goes right there. One opossum will eat as many as 5,000 ticks in a season. If you know anything about Missouri woods, that makes them an asset. Haven't had any coons around, but they wouldn't be quite so lucky.

They also pillage wild turkey nests, same with coons. I live in a rural area and if I catch them out they dont survive.
 
I'm sure they do, but what I have been told around here, the worst predator for turkey and quail nests are feral cats
 
I can see me firing a gun at 3 in the morning and having 12 cops and a helicopter swarm my residential street. Not an option.....:eek:


BB or Pellet guns are silent and will get the job done...

You gave them shrinkage....

 
Never heard that possums eat ticks. Here in rural Texas hill country, we used to have lots of possums, raccoons, turkeys and ticks - lots of ticks.

When you walked under live oak trees, ticks dropping from trees that missed you sounded like light rainfall when they landed on the leaves on the ground. The grasses were full of “seed ticks” that would cover your legs as they worked their way up your body. We would have to rub down with kerosene or alcohol to help kill them or get them off when we got home and started personal tick removal. Then the house plant trade accidentally imported fire ants.

Fire ants are a tremendous nuisance. All ground nesting bird populations have suffered, as well as other wildlife. When an animal is born, it’s a race between the baby being able to get up and the fire ants. The fire ants only saving grace is...they eat ticks! Lots of them.

Now, I can be in the pasture all day and maybe get one tick. Prior to fire ants, I would have been covered with them.

Never saw a BB gun, and very few pellet rifles that will take out a coon. Pretty tough animals.

There are pellet rifles now that are used to hunt deer and wild boar. So there are plenty of pellet rifles capable of humanly dispatching a coon.

Pussum on the half shell. :lol: Harder to kill than a Opossum.
 
It will ricochet right off the armadillo and could take an eye out.

Never had to eliminate one, but I have heard at least a .22 Mag for those critters. Friend of mine said he shot one with a .22 4 times, before pulling out his 9mm.

I have dispatched many armadillos using 22-Shorts. Just have to hit them in a vital spot. Larger rounds do more damage, so do hollow points, but aren’t necessary if you hit the mark.

A lady at our church says she takes them out with a single shot 22 every time one gets in her yard .
