Are they hurting anything? Coons in the woods...I mean, what do you expect. I have issues with them eating my apples, so I will be implementing the flashing that Appleman shows. They snap off a lot of my pawpaw after the fruit as well...but they are native pawpaw and I don't really care. They can do significant damage to corn as well. When I have issues with them in barns or at the house.....a bright light (we have a security light), a bag of some strong smelling leftovers and a 22 can thin them out pretty quickly.
My father has problems with the coons taking off with his mineral blocks. They chew the corners off of it and then try to roll it away!!!!
