My sweet corn is both late and poor this year due to all the rain.....so while up at the farm, my mother asked if we wanted some corn? A neighbor plants a big patch for the community to share. A couple acres in all. Figured it would be a good chance to see how someone else manages their coon problem. My first thought was the must overwhelm them. Plant enough and they can't get it all. Was wrong about that. They had riddled the entire thing. Probably got 9 ears out of 10......no telling how many coon must be in there each night. If a coon hide was worth anything a guy could get awfully rich in that neighborhood.

I use low wire electric fences and even poultry netting to keep them out of mine.....but I get all that survives the weather and pests to reach harvest stage. I get more out of 10 feet of my rows than they had left in 10 times that.

Funny aside.....youtube put this video on the age restricted list. You gotta be 18 to sign in and view it, even though it's not even listed for public to find. Scantily clad women are OK for the kids to watch, but not this.
