[AT] Old vs. New (about TRACTORS!)

[Ralph Goff]

John, the coons don't bother the crops at all here but the damage they do to 
buildings is what gets me. I have several older buildings with cedar 
shingles that although very old were still keeping the rain out and 
sheltering whatever junk I had stored inside. Coons seem to love tearing up 
these shingles and then through the boards underneath to eventually take up 
residence and raise a family. This past spring a couple of them raided my 
chicken barn several nights and killed several chickens before I realized 
what was going on. They had crawled in through the cat door and just helped 
themselves. I had to set up half the night on  a stake out to persuade them 
this was dangerous to their health. No confirmed kills but they never did 
come back.

Ralph in Sask.
