Raccoon Troubles
Okay, we have the South's largest raccoon creating havoc in my backyard. He’s tearing up the bird feeder my father-in-law built for us, plus other landscaping areas. I called animal control…no help…I called vector control…no help…called largest veterinarian office we have…no help…called residential animal control…$200 smackeroos. Hmmm, what would you do?

You can buy traps for them, basically big cages with doors that will automatically close when something goes inside to get the bait. If you don't want to kill it, drive 10-15 miles away and release it. Be careful though, those bastards are vicious.

That would be a longer drive. I moved to Nash-vegas about 10 years ago. I know in Memphis you can find someone to shoot just about anything!
Thanks. |

If you're a pussy, use a gun. If you're a real man, take the varmint on mano-a-mano, naked, like it is.

Why in the world would you want to take mercy back home when you've got a perfectly good destructive fat-assed raccoon already? Does the raccoon seem... lonely? wtf?

Personally, I would just tell the neighbors, "You will probably hear shots tonight. Don't call the cops." Then, take him out.

Sounds like a good excuse to get that .17 you've been eyeing up. perfect for the varmints.
