The Battle Continues

The raccoon is sometimes called a bandit and even looks the part, see the picture to the right.  It is cute but this one was a bit nasty.  The first raccoon that was trapped was small and looked like it regretted eating the corn.  This one is twice the size and was just mad.  He was so mad that when George went to release it kept hissing and lunging at him that he could not open the trap to let it out.  So he took the trap to a local farmer that hunts and trains coon dogs.  The local farmer gave George some extra traps so now we have four traps and when we go down to harvest this morning it will be interesting to see what will be in the traps.  We are not trying to hurt the raccoons we just want to keep them out of our corn.  So, that battle continues!
