Moving a young raccoon

[Dftodd]

Wow! That's pretty specific and detailed planning on someone's part.

I'd be watching my step and sleeping with one eye open.

All the best,

I paraphrased her description. It would be 3 pages if I wrote out what she described

Just an FYI..... if y'all dont hear from me..... maybe come out to the property and look for a freshly dug.......

I was watching Sports Center today and they showed a Raccoon running around during a baseball game. Think of all the food it could find. If it didn’t live there I bet it came first the concessions on a regular basis.

There are a bunch of Youtubes of rabid Indians. Very disturbing. Apparently, India is not doing a whole lot to protect its citizens.

Rabid Indians.

Good band name.

Yes, well, there are lots of feral dogs in India, and by definition they are almost all unvaccinated, so they develop rabies on a regular basis. About 1 in 143 Indians are bitten by a dog at some point in their lifetimes, and account for 20-30,000 rabies deaths per year. India’s rabid dog problem is running the country ragged

It is said, though I don't know the accuracy, that there are 60+ million feral dogs in India. Per the link below, India accounts for 36% of rabies deaths globally.

To give you an idea of the prevalence of disease in India more generally, have a look at the vaccination list recommended for visitors to India. It is not short.

India - Traveler view | Travelers' Health | CDC

Official U.S. government health recommendations for traveling. Provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

wwwnc.cdc.gov

A rabies vaccination is recommended if the time to care might be delayed...

The same is probably true for some of India's near neighbors.

All the best,

Peter

How about "Rabid Transit"?

You may want to be concerned. However, it's the quiet ones who I am cautious around.

Recipe for fun:
1)As many racoons as you can get in a small area.
2) 2-5 lb of Tannerite.
3) detonation device
4) video camera.
5) beer. Quantity dependant on number of on lookers.
Rocky go BOOM!

Thats the truth,!!!! Everything is all fine and good until you wake up and find yourself duct taped to the bed

Old neighbour used to feed 30-40 feral cats.
His place was a minefield
Anyways he put the dry cat food out in a 2 foot across old garbage can lid.
The cats would come and sit around this "dish" which was on a concrete patio.
His son, ever the troublemaker/sh-t disturber decided to have some fun.
He roughly measured how big the circle of the cats bums was as they ate with their heads in the dish.
He got a bunch of black powder and poured a ring of it around the dish at the right distance. When the cats were comfortably eating, probably around 25-30, he lit the powder.
You never saw so many cats jump so high and take off for the horizon burnt scrotums and anuses and singed tails...
Cruel? Yes.
Funny? Freaken hilarious!
So many years later and I'm still laughing.

Um, er...
Where I come from we call this "Too much information."

My sister actually did that to her ex husband the day she left him. He was an abusive alcoholic.

He woke up duct taped to the bed getting the tar beat out of him with a broom handle.

Well, in that case-

Carry on.

My mother in law found out one of her boyfriends was married. She got him drunk and proceeded to Nair his hairy Sicilian body from stem to stern. Then she sent him home to his wife.

It's a common myth that raccoons seen in the daylight are rabid or sick. Just saying.

As for relocating to the back of your property, it may work. He might be scared and keep on going once you release him. That works for groundhogs in our yard that tunnel under the front porch. I give them a good hazing while they're in the live trap by making a lot of noise and yelling at them. Then I walk them back to the rear of the property and off they go. Fill in the hole. A few months later, another one shows up and starts digging. Where ever there's a good spot for a hole, nest, den, etc... an animal will find it.

But it's kinda fun to trap them. A good hobby.

Oh, for sure they come out during the day.

My MIL called my wife to let her know there was a large raccoon hanging around our garbage can by the road. My MIL lives next to us

As they were still on the call, wife said she heard my AR-15 go off and told my MIL well Rick must have seen it too.

My desk faces the road and I had been waiting for something to try out the new rifle.

I have clubbed a number of the critters to take out of a leghold trap as a teen. 80% of them were quite when I walked up to club them. Very hard to kill with a club.

We didn't use a rifle because we didn't want a hole in the hide we were trying to sell. I finally started carrying a little 22 short.

what happened to the coon, Sig?

I haven't seen him the last 3 or 4 days which includes early AM's and PM's with the light.

He must read TBN and headed for safe pastures.
