Wait, so you go camping and get annoyed by things that live in the woods so you throw a piece of firewood at them...maybe I'm a bit confused here. Maybe next time, plan a much more sterile and safe adventure.
Raccoons are more abundant and brave in campgrounds than they are in typical wooded areas. the population should be controlled. Unfortunately coon pelts aren't worht a whole lot right now so they do not get hunted like they should. Their pelts are good in the fall, but most hunters are busy hunting something else.
