Bustin' 'Coons

We've had regular nighttime visits from a raccoon over the last few weeks. There were no major problems until Cheryl and the girls bought flowers and planted them in pots on the deck. Two nights later Cheryl awoke around midnight to the coon rummaging through her pots, tearing her flowers out. (apparently they like to eat the fertilizer??) Then, a few days later I found the bird feeder busted apart and all the bird seed dumped out and eaten. Well, that was the last straw. I decided it was time for the coon to go. I was gonna shoot it with the 22 my brother in-law gave me, but Cheryl won't go for that. So I borrowed a live trap and caught him Sunday night. Here's what he had to say:
