Doubt he did, but will be checking. I am just glad he was not a smoker. I hate that smoke smell in my ranger, and all those raccoon cheap cigarette butts everywhere.

You're the only person I know that left those stupid soft doors on their Ranger. I wanted the dealer to take mine off and not charge me for them. No dice.

Yea, one got ripped off, the driver one, after I told them to watch them.. not 5 minutes later.
The rest, I have toyed with removing them, but I have a 6yr old that does not sit in his seat well.. lol.
I will remove them eventually, just have them for a little added protection atm.

That atv looks a lot like Sniper Rabs, coon must have got confused looking for a free ride!.
When I bought my Ranger, I was told by the dealer that removing the soft doors would void the warranty since it is a safety thing..After a couple uses, they don't bother me at all.

Maybe a good coon dog might help.

lol.. too funny! Yea, we had fun watching those coons. There was a little corn left in the back of the ranger, hence what they were going after. I have about a dozen Duke traps and plan to start setting them out a little more often. I usually kill off a couple dozen coons and they all become scarce for a while. Time to teach them a lesson again R

I had TxAg build me a coon proof feeder skid like the one ThreePeppers depicted. The Coons may gather at the feeder & even hang all over it.....don't care. They can't get to the spinner plate anymore.

I had them getting into the trash can I kept my dog food in, removing the bungee the lid and tearing into the sack almost nightly. Went down to tractor supply and set up a live trap with a handful of the blue dog food. Ended up catching 36 the first week. I had several doubles and even one triple catch. I don't think I even made a dent in them.
One shot is all it should take.

I had a feeder that was short legged, and had to put a box made from a hog panel to keep the cows from tearing up the slinger. One morning I watched a coon climb a leg, get inside the box and empty the feeder by turning the slinger. Put longer legs and "coon stops" on so they couldn't climb the legs again.

A person should NOT try to release them; they can be all over you, teeth and claws, in a heartbeat!

In the past I would toss the trap in the creek. The blood from shooting one seemed to keep them shy of the trap for a while so drowning them was more conducive to do. Now I just use the cuffs.
