A coon ATTACKED my father in law 2 weeks ago.
He didn't want to, but he had to kill it
The thing tracked them through a trail and was going after the dogs, he sent his wife and the pups running up the trail. Next thing you know it was coming straight for him, he had to beat it off with a stick, and take care of business. He thinks it was sick, possibly rabid. Scared the shit out of him.
