James Island is so overrun with them you can’t camp there or even moor your boat on the dock without being assaulted by gangs of coons. My Golden Retriever can no longer retrieve due to a coon bite on her jaw that she got keeping the varmints away our tent on Cypress Island.

Hunt them please!

Actually, at 3:30 this morning I spent 20 minutes out on the deck trying to spot one of the little *censored*s through the deck boards, no luck. Of course, a couple of garbage bags were left out last night and it ripped them up -- hey DOG, don't sleep so soundly! I'll have to set the trap tonight I guess.

I figure if I see 4-5 a year while Turkey hunting, there are a lot more around that I dont see.
