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?

Do you own a gun?

LOL...yznhymr and thenewguy are starting another gun thread!:shock:

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.

Sorry, a little slow with poll, your answer may be there. It's my first poll!

PS. Sounds like you are from Memphis, so am I...maybe you can come shoot him for me??? LOL

PSS. I loved your 'slept with a Democrat and am ashamed' post! :thumb2:

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.

naked raccoon wrestling. I think I once saw a Japanese porn with that title.

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?

Cayenne pepper. Lots of it. Birds can't taste it so they could care less, but raccoons will stay well clear of it.

Are you in the city limits?

Nope, in the county. I live trap cotton rats all of the time and then relocate them to the yards of people that piss me off...uhhh...I mean relocate them deep into the country. I've only had to kill 2 for mercy's sake. I can catch ~4 cotton rats a week. We have plenty of snakes, but they don't keep the population down.

theotherguy 05-25-2007 02:45 PM

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.
