As a bee keeper I find that coons possums and skunks are a royal pain in the kister. You can tell when a critter is messing with the hives as the bees which you could normally work with out smoke are nearly impossible to work even with smoke as they have been attacked so much during the night. I shoot every dang one I see when out hunting to start. I also have a number of live traps since a lot of home owners will not allow any other type on their property. I get day old bagels from the local donut shop cut them in half smear with a bit of honey and drop in the bottom of the trap behind the trigger. I have had as many as two coons in a trap. pop them behind the ear with the 22lr and dump them out.
Skunks are handled a little different how ever but shot just the same.
Not going to move my problem some where else to be a problem for some one else either.
