Cute little buggers but they can be a pain!
Re: Baby Coons
Loks like a Catalpa tree. Beautiful flowers in the spring.
I guess if You don't have Chickens Coons would be OK.

Re: Baby Coons
Nice pictures Pitchy, all I know about Catalpa trees is they get a worm on them that is well known as catchers of fish. Mainly Catfish 'round here. See any worms on there Pitchy?

Re: Baby Coons
Sure didn't know they grew that far north. Around here it's pronounce kuh-taw-buh. And usually spelled Catalba.

Re: Baby Coons
'round my parts they call 'em tobby trees and fish with tobby worms. We even have frozen water jugs full of the worms in water to thaw out and use at different times of the year.

Re: Baby Coons
No harm, didn't take it as a correction. another check with Mr G. and there is also a Catalba. No difference and it also says some have Migrated North. I wonder if Pitchy's has Papers.

Re: Baby Coons
it's baby skunk season around here.
Got to be careful when you walk outside, and keep the dog penned up.

Re: Baby Coons
My Akita was the bane of both raccoons and skunks (and roadrunners and feral cats).
I walked out one morning to her barking bloody murder (Very Rare). I kid you not, there was a 40-lb. raccoon sitting on the fence. He looked back and forth between me and her, then jumped on her. I had a baseball bat close and joined the frey. There was blood everywhere and I was poking the raccoon with the bat until it broke from the dog and came after me. A good solid rap on the head felled it, then I got the .22 and dispatched it. There was not a bite on my dog - it was all raccoon blood.
About skunk spray - she loved it - it was her badge of honor.

Re: Baby Coons
I looked them up in my Golden Guide and Audobon Society Tree books. It's funny that the native range of the tree is so small of an area. I always thought of them as a southern tree, but they are supposedly not from here.

The town I grew up in was full of catalpa trees. The beans were "swords", spears, and darts for us kids to throw at each other.
