Well Friday night at the Barnyard Bash Rick Prentice told me he saw a huge racoon run into the barn. I took the dogs in but they didn't pick up a scent. Rosie and I just figured his Mountain Dew was spiked and he was seeing things.
Monday night I heard a growl and squeal while working out there and thought one of the dogs had another rabbit. Then I heard a racket in the rafters. For those who have seen Bob's rafters you know they are pretty high up. But there it was, a giant old coon cutting across the boards. about eight feet away was another.
I went to the front of the barn and called the dogs off the porch. Once they got there I took them to the loft. One sniff and they spent the night waiting for the coons to come back. Last night the loft was the first place they went. I reckon they will hang around there now that they know they have a challenge. I have a feeling the coons will relocate.
Sorry we doubted you Rick! Now the dogs have something to do.

Coons in the barn
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Coons in the barn
as big as that barn is. I don't think they will leave. They will just take up a new spot. they are smart enough to know there is enough room in BOB for all 4 of them.

Re: Coons in the barn
Having done a FAIR AMOUNT of coon hunting and seen em in action against a few dogs, I wanna suggest you watch it by turning dogs loose on a coon. I've seen a few good sized dogs get pretty tore up by a spunky coon.

Re: Coons in the barn
I know this thread is two years old but I'll respond anyway. Several days after I had posted this I found an adult coon body in the yard. Probably one of the ones I saw in the barn. Ask Rosie next week how big the coon was that I had to take away from Dozer just the other night. It looked like it ate good all its life!

They stay penned during the day at the Bash except when they want to play with Gary.

Re: Coons in the barn
Yea, the dogs & I play well together! Speaking of coons, we have several of them at our campground. Last night, we picked up a pizza and went there for the evening. After eating part of the pizza, Regina set the box on the picnic table & we set about starting the camp fire. When we turned & looked, a few minutes later, there was a big coon on the table attempting to open the pizza box, in bright daylight. The coon at the camp ground are around a lot of people and don't have a great deal of fear of us. They'll often come within 3-4 feet of us, if they think we might have food.
