In the late 80's, I lived in Great Bend, KS. Tured loose at a stock tank right next to where they had been creep-feeding calves. Dogs went nuts, finally treed. Three trees close together had 16 coons that we counted. At least 5 or 6 more ran down the dry branch behind the tank.
The land owner wanted them all killed. So, to make him happy, we killed 3 that night. He was not with us. Over the next couple of weeks, he moved a new batch of feeder calves back in, so we livetrapped 31, to get them out from his feeder. The landowner would not let us hunt in there when the feeder calves were in there.
I did not notice an increase in the coon population where we moved them to. Now to ask a question, Do you think any of the coons stayed in the area where we turned them loose?
