Unfortunately he had to be terminated just like a bad rogue bear. Eating garbage and messing with bird feeders is acceptable coon behavior here on the island. When they get so brazen that they break into camps, homes or boats then they are judged to be beyond relocation and rehabilitation. They can learn bad behavior from each other so this bad seed had to be removed from the picture. I am the kind of guy that will stop my truck on a busy road (this is Vermont so the roads aren't all that busy) and help a turtle get off the road. I have saved more than a few this year. I don't have any problem killing game that I intend to eat like my turkey from this year and last years buck and elk.I just hate to waste any animal or fish indiscriminately. I do kill lots of pan fish but I sell them and they provide food for someone so they aren't wasted. All the game fish are always released unless I chose to have a fish fry. So for me to kill the coon was a moment of sadness but I figured it had to be done. If I moved him he wouldn't have bothered me again but his bad behavior would have just been passed on to another person and or boat. I watched him die and gave him respect. He is now providing food for the coyotes, foxes and fisher cats that live in our woods.
