Not them eating my suet!Well I have tried to get my photo's to load to show you my scare crow I put out to get rid of the crow's eating my suet. But can't seem to get them to load from my card. Oh well. The above scare crow did keep the crows from eating my suet. I had to move it around everyday to make it look like it was real. Otherwise the crows would get use to it and still eat the suet. But I was still finding the suet gone in the morning, or on the ground chewed up. Hummmmm. I figured it had to be a raccoon or a possum. Both I really dislike. So I moved the suet to the top of my bird feeder which they can not get up on to. As I was passing our kitchen window about 9:00pm I saw something walking up to the tree where the suet had been. OMG it was a huge and I mean huge raccoon. I grabbed the 22 and opened the front door. As soon as it heard me it ran for the hills. It was hard to see it because it was darker out but I did get 2 shots off at it. I could hear it's claws hit a tree out near the driveway as it scrambled up it. Took a flashlight out to see if I could get a better shot at it. But there where so many leaves on it I couldn't see anything. Darn those raccoons. But since I took a shot at it I don't believe it has come back. One of my neighbors about a 1/4 of a mile down the road from us has trapped 3 that were raiding his bird feeder. He had said that two of them where really big raccoons. Well I am hoping that, that is the end of the coon stories. This blog entry has been viewed 525 times
