Here in Seattle, we've been using a slingshot lately, armed with chick peas, to scare the raccoons away from our chicken coop. One solid connection seems to have gotten the message across. They haven't been back. Seems to work for discouraging feral cats from using the garden as a litter box too, though we haven't hit one yet. The cats are just freaked out by this thing whizzing by close to them. The chick peas are biodegradable of course, and won't seriously harm the animals.
We made slingshots with surgical tubing when I was a kid too. Used large ball bearings as ammo. I'm amazed we didn't injure ourselves. And then there were the massive ones we used to lob water balloons.... Fun stuff. Rob in Seattle -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
