Coons are a terrible nusiance here. Periodically we live trap them and set them loose at the local refuge. Problematical possums also. Hope I don't catch a skunk. :-|
A momma and baby racoon were in our back yard the other day, when they saw us who were watching them, they both climbed a different tree each and must have stayed there till dark. It was odd to see them traveling during the day and in such close quarters, we live in a Vermont suburb, on a mountian side. Makes me feel like we're taking their land away. But it definatley is a nuisance if you get skunk or coons around your precious hard work. I just hope they don't come back, I'd like to keep my small veggie garden!! Be well. Sorry about your melons....
