Where does that leave Dogs and People?:)

When I was younger we had a LOT of raccoons at our property, we got rid of them by trapping and relocating. I think we caught about 7 of them. Once caught we'd cover the cage with a tarp, throw it in the back of the van, and drive about ~20 miles out of the city and let it out. No more problems after that. (for us anyways :D)

TwitchKitty. :confused:

We get coons in our neighborhood with the woods across the street. Lots of foxes also. The foxes aren't a bother at all and never had to shoot one.

I had a cat about a year ago, outdoor cat. I recall it being away for about 2 days (quite typical) and she had the coloring of a coon. Well, one was rummaging around at something when I came back from the neighbors and it was at the side of my house. I began to start calling the cats name thinking it was her and the coon turned around and started looking at me and approaching. I got away calmly without a bother, but I haven't had to shoot one yet. They typically don't bother us here, and haven't been through my trash so I'm ok right now.

Dogs and people are bigger than cats.

See the Pic. A Coon Dog and his Friend.

I always use a 22lr with sub sonic ammo. Barely makes a loud pop. :)

These are 2 Cages I got from Humane Society. Each was $90 deposit; when returned you get all of the Money Back.

I suspect Animal Control has a similar arrangement except that they will come and pick up the Cage with Beastie inside.

I bought mine - like your larger one yrs ago for $29.95 from Lowe's. They're now $39.99. Tractor Supply has them on-sale now and then 2 for 1 once in a while. Caught a raccoon last week. No pics, b/c I don't want to set off animal kwayzies.

I've got one neighbor that feeds the buggers dog food...

The other neighbor, just 500 feet to the west of the 1st one, finishes them off with a 12 guage. He then buries the buggers in his garden. Says they're only good for fertilizer anyways.

Me? Hit one that stayed on the roadway too long...suma'b!tch dented the 123. :(

Damn thing walked away after a good rollin' under the car. I hope his head hurt a bit...

Maybe he's a nasty short guy :D.
