Subject: RE: [NatureNS] Raccoon Problem (slightly off-topic)
I had such a laugh at James' post, this morning. I want to relate a story I
heard. Racoons were eating a gardener's corn, coming every night and
sampling one ear, waiting for the corn to ripen. Then, they would decimate
the crop. So, the next year, Buddy planted his corn in a rectangle, putting
two rows of late corn all around the perimeter. So, the racoons thought the
corn wasn't ripe yet; meanwhile the gardener harvested the early corn in
peace.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Raccoon Problem
I tried the clothesline thing when I lived in Petite Riviere. I would hang
my suet feeder in the middle of the line well away from any trees or access
and would find the suet taken out the next morning. I could not figure out
how this could be so. I caught the culprit one night and it was a raccoon
that would go paw over paw upside down out to the feeder. It would then
hang from two paws and reach down to unlatch the suet feeder and remove the
suet to the ground below and then would go back out the clothesline to a
tree and back down to feed. I would not have believed it possible had I not
watched it.
Sincerely,
James R. Hirtle
LaHave
I also have to take in my feeders at night due to the raccoons here in
LaHave. I thus cannot leave the feeders out much when on awful shifts. I
have shift work to. It is disappointing. Knocking on wood, I've been
leaving one feeder out and it has not been bothered for awhile, so
hopefully, something happened to the local raccoon family.

We are infested with raccoons and solved the problem by hanging the feeders
from a clothes line in the back yard. The squirrels still climb the line but
no raccoons.
