Anyone else having problems with raccoons this year.

This one charged my wife when she was taking the trash out. Needless to say things didn't end well.

I think I figured it out.

too bad for the little feller....

i generally keep em taken care of with the "humane" trap. little bastards like peanut butter n cat food more than usual. perhaps they have been driven into a bloodlust after the taste of peanuts and cat foods wasnt enough?

Lol.. I have acouple of live traps now. The other night our dog didn't eat all of his food and I forgot to bring it in. Around 1 am our lab starts going crazy trying to tear the door down. When I looked outside there was a mom with five youngster going to town on his bowl. We now feed both dogs inside so we dont attract unwanted vistors.

I have no problems with raccoons but rabbits are a different story. The problem is my lab enjoys to chase em around the neighborhood. I cant shoot em, so I have tried the live trap with no success. I've used lettus, cabbage, cat food, rabbitt food, and crab apples with no luck.

we had a family of raccoons living in my woods and they started to get a little too curious so i just disposed of them with a 22. they are no longer an issue.

I attempt to keep their immigration under firm control...

I tried to scare of the family we had on our deck and they just stared at me. My guess is someone in the area had been feeding them, usually they scatter when I have approached in the past.

I like to feed them Flybait and Coke...

So far 36 Dead Raccoons this year...

Much better than my attempt at keeping the Pigeons Immigration under control...

The GSDs normally keep the Rabbits, and stray Cats under control...

Let me think on it I am sure I have trick or two stored in the worthless trivia part of my mind...

36 is a respectable number. I have put down three and after the third one I stopped shooting them on the deck. Dragging the hose out and washing the deck in the middle of the night gets old real quick. I am still surprised how big of a mess a .22 hollow point makes.

The Dixie Chopper seems to work well for me with the rabbits.

 

[gunman41mag]

that's my pet, how could you

 

[rockhopper46038]

I have a fluctuating raccoon population that seems to take a hit whenever my wife goes out of town.

I can't shoot enough of them! Just keep coming back!
