Raccons in the backyard

[cbressler1976]

They may be known to have rabbies...but they sure are cute!

There fun, we`ve had them as pets before, eventually instincts take over and they leave.
Ya have to get them when they`er babies to have them as a pet, and they do bite.

[CoreIssue]

Yep. We regularly feed some. They come in at night.

I found an abandoned baby and put it near food and shelter on our back patio.

Now that it is bigger it is 'going wild.'

Would not have made it on its own.

They are smart little buggers too.

They are smart little buggers too.
Yep.

And bring stones and such up when they get food. Like trading or leaving thank-yous.

We had like 30 of them back there my son said. way to many!
where on earth did they all come from????

and too I have to put the kitty in the bathroom tonight so he wont get bit or clawed tonight.... I dont want fleas, and hair all over the place, but I cant leave him outside.

dont get me wrong I love my kitty but hes an outdoor kitty.
I dont like animals in the house at all.

[a.baker]

Wow 30! Way too many!!!

[kay-gee]

Hi guys. I hate to spoil the party and all, but up here in Canada we shoot them!

all the best...

[a.baker]

My dad and grandpa shoot em too.

[CoreIssue]

You can have too many. Unfortunately.

And if a bad year for food, they will get desparate.

KG there are a lot of folks who go coon hunting here or used to.
maybe not much food for them......

I think society is incrouching in their territory.
