I went up in the attic after church to shoot the raccoon

Pogo · 04-22-2018, 03:32 PM

I went up into my attic but the raccoon wasn't up there today. I guess he's out prowling. So I temporarily repaired the damage he made. I haven't washed his mud off yet. Just leaving it like it is.

But I set up an electric fence charger. The welded wire mesh is the ground. And the aluminum corner is hot.

When I first give it a try and tested it, it was shorted out. So I examined and the facia on the rear of the house is grounded. So I unfastened the aluminum corner. Then I cut a piece of an old inner tube for insulation between the aluminum corner and the rear facia. I tested it then and it works great.

I had to do the same thing to my workshop a few years back because of a returning raccoon. I'll have to leave this electric guard up for at least a year because he will return late next fall when it starts getting cold again.

He should get a charge out of that.

I would still cuff him.

The opportunity presented itself so I shot my resident revrund Shartcoon through a screen with a .45 Black Talon. He’s stealing cat food in the afterlife now.

That was a judicious use of an evil black bullet.

Three of the tree rats so far...

They have been getting into my attic too...
