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 have to agree with C.I., once distructive behaivor sets in it is implanted in then forever... An old house next to me is infested with them, the owner lives in N.J. and they have distroyed the insides very badly. I have been awakened more than once with one on my eve looking in a window. So I have recently went to the town office to try and have them removed and the house fixed so that they can not find a way back into it.

For as far as bears they live trap them and take them in the woods about 50 miles. Only to have to trap them again as they broke into camps. The bears that are live trapped are measured and tagged. When catching the same bear more then once it has to go to lalla land.
