Caught a Coon...

[Kiel]

I have known people that have had racoons as pets. They get into everything. It's those damn little hands. On the plus side you could teach it to open your beer

 

[queenofmoab]

oh come on, you can start a whole new fad. Instead of a chihuahua in a bag and ballerina outfit you can have a coon.

I am afraid it would get jealous of my two month old and eat her...

 

[queenofmoab]

But really...It is still in my carport. I am getting nervous.

 

[Green Leader]

Is it's leg still stuck?

 

[rholbrook]

Get you neighbor to come release it for you. There will be someone in your neighborhood that will do it for you.

 

[queenofmoab]

Is it's leg still stuck?

Not any more. Rest in Peace little raccoon...

 

[Cody]

did it die on it's own?

 

[rholbrook]

Did it chew its leg off? Hasn't it happened to all of us where we woke up with our arm stuck under someone and contemplated chewing our arm off?

A guy at my work wants some to train his dogs with (tracking), if you get any more, let me know.

 

[queenofmoab]

did it die on it's own?

pop, pop...it was quick and hopefully painless. I think it tried to knaw its arm off, it was pretty bloody.

I hear they live in families so there may be more. I would rather do that than this other way.

After catching a few over the years here in Ogden, I would hose them down with water for hours at a time. They LOVE it! When you think they've had enough water, turn the water on harder! Best idea was to turn a sprinkler on them and leave it on for a few days. When they are good and pissed, dunk the cage in a garbage can of water! DEATH TO THE EVIL BEASTS!!!

 

[queenofmoab]

My neighbor helped me out. He doesn't have a soul. (At least for living raccoons)

I am glad this got taken care of while I was gone. thanks neighbor.

[strangeKowboy]
