The notorious coon bandit striking baits and feeders across the North American landscape.  Evader of hounds and  master of the night.  We have a love/hate relationship with these critters and have to give them a hat tip.

Coons were critical to many families in the great depression.  A coon hound was often one of the most valuable possessions a family could have to help make money.  Some coon hunters could make a living off of a good coon dog.
