Good deal


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

been a lot more coon issues here lately also.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

A lot of people are talking about the increase in the coon population. Getting in their chickens, buildings, cat food and dog food. Looks like another season or two of no fur demand and disease will even things out. Too bad the anti's can't be close to some of the animals dying from disease, taking days or longer to finally die. Proves to me the anti's are using a cause for big pay for their higher ups. If it was truly about being humane they would readjust their thinking, and wake up and smell their stench and that nature is sometimes cruel when not managed by appropriate means.

I will have to get my line organized this year. The females and the YOY are paving the roads up here and there has been no major disease outbreak as of yet so this will be a good year to work on some. The corn here will ear really late and then almost all will go for silage in late September and early October so there won't be as much fall food as normal. With all the ditches and sloughs still full lots of frogs etc. to munch on.

Silo bags with HMC or corn silage draw a lot of coons. That is a good way to line up some good permissions. Silo bags were big here a decade ago but now there are far, far fewer as the dairy herds have expanded.
40 years ago we had 1200 dairy farms milking 52,000 cows in our county or an average herd size of about 45 cows with a few 200-300 cow herds. By the mid 90s we had 550 herds milking about 51,000 cows or about 100 cows per herd. Today we have about 260 herds milking 55,000 cows with the largest 20 herds milking over 30,000 cows. When we had the 100 cow average with a wide range bags were all over and coons were readily caught. Now with the huge herds, bags are too costly and time consuming so we have very large piles covered with plastic. We have large faces now on the piles and bunkers so the coons don't have to claw through the plastic to get the feed. Most large farms also have pest control firms that control rodents, other mammals, flies and some do birds as needed.
