I was sitting here reading up on my TOO buddies and got a Phone call from a guy here in town. Seems he is the caretaker at the cemetery and had a problem with a young coon. He called around to the sheriff who said the WO for the county was on vacation this week so they gave him the number for Richland county WO. He called them and they sent him to the district office where the lady said " Hey your in luck " There are 2 trappers there in town. I got the referral call :smiley_clap:.
The guy calls and says he is standing 20' from this coon that is walking in circles and wanted somebody to come and get it. I told him I would be right over to take care of it. First I'm thinking of things that could be causing this coon to wonder in circles. Usually the ones I see doing this either have distemper or have somehow gotten into the chemicals and pesticides. I stop off at a friends house who runs a dog kennel and ask if I can borrow the catch pole. I get to the cemetery and sure enough there is the guy standing about 15 yards from this small scruffy looking coon wondering in circles. I get out of the truck and the guy says " It's blind " I walk over with the catch pole and wrap the noose around and pull it tight expecting this coon to go nuts. Nothing, it just flips on it's back and holds on to the pole. I look down and this little feller seemed to have double eye infections and his eyes where matted shut with discharge.
The nice thing is that the cemetery is just outside city limits :smiley_clap:. I grab the .22 bolt action with CCI sub-sonics and lights out. The best and fastest money I have made in a long while lol.
I was excited and just had to share my days adventures lol.
