Coon come a callin

Tonight I went out to feed my old farm cats and make sure they were still okay.

Bein a softie I'd already bought them a heated dog (well, okay, cat) house, so's they wouldn't outright freeze up on me. Upon hearing my approach, they came a-boundin' across the prairie, like a thunderin herd of buffalo, all two of them.

I reached down to get their bowls to fill with food and water and, Lo! Behold! I hear a growlin from the depths of yon heated cat house. Lordy!

My 3-million candlepower Orscheln special spotlight revealed a fat old coon comfortably nestled therein, quite at home, thank you.

So, I shot it. Twice. Both exposures came out nice. Big bright eyes, furry, fuzzy coat. Surprised "Who, me?" expression.

Then I tilted the cat house up and suggested he go find somewhere else to bivouac. The ole coon looked at me like "Man, you are a pain in the b*tt". as he waddled off. Kinda felt sorry for the old guy.

The cats were all about eatin and "Thanks, dude. That guy is a real freeloader. We were all like whatever."

Life on the frontier.
 
Do You mean people still trap. The correct police don't approve of that. My real question is does anybody still buy hides and what are they worth these days. I'm just shining trees and leaving prime hides, I don't shoot coons anymore unless they're making trouble. You know like ripping up ag bags, eating sweet corn, living in barns or the other cute things they do.
