coons coons and more coons

   In the book "The River Calls" old Wil spent a lot of time doing battles with the critters that live along the Bigfork River. Of all the animals, the raccoon was the hardest to control. He came in during the darkest nights and did a terrible amount of damage. Coons seem to favor corn, but will eat nearly anything.
   I've seen them eat a chicken in the same way you would eat a candy bar. They tip over the garbage and empty the bird feeders too.
   So what do you do to protect yourself from these varmints? Well, the first and most obvious is to build a canal around your property and fill it with alligators. If that doesn't work, buy a pit bull and train him to hate coons. Just remember to tell the mailman about the new dog.
   The next thing is to buy an electric fence. Now don't buy one of those little wimpy ones, buy one that will knock over an elephant. No messin' around here, it's time to get serious.
   Now, if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll give you my secret plan known as "X-492", guaranteed to keep your gardens safe.
