Okay, don't know if the posts that I put in the wrong thread can be moved here, so I am copying and adding here where they belong. I am sooooo embarrassed that I made that blunder. My mind is a maze of fog right now. I think that comes with being exhausted. So ....

Well, I happen to wake up at 3:30 am this morning and of course the FIRST thing on my mind was the coons! So I peeked out the side window nearest the fence gate. The moonlight gave enough light that I could see the area and the gate. Not a creature in sight!!!!

So, of course, first thing this morning I walked outside to check it out. Much to my surprise, no scratch marks, no holes, nothing! WOW! This is just too easy!!!! (Which also gave me an uneasy feeling. Is it too good to be true? )

Here's the photo of the outside of the gate. I didn't see a single paw print! Do you suppose the digging from the night before, only to never make it in to collect on the bounty, discouraged Rocky? Let's hope so!!!
