Those Rascally Raccoons – Another one down

Linda spent a lot of the weekend making our backyard look really nice and plating new dirt and grass and tendering to the new grass planted over the past few weeks. The yard looked great when I got home from camping. I knew this would be too tempting to those nasty raccoons so I planted the trap with delicious old fish and chicken. A little one took the bait and was caught in the cage. The rest of the family was not amused though and just shredded our yard from one end to the other. There was not a sign of new grass or seeds. Linda was so frustrated to see her work ruined like that. At 7AM I took the little guy way up the hill to another development 4.6km away.

That’s 3 down – 4 to go

Another one bites the dust
2AM – I’m out in the yard chasing away raccoons and making a bunch of noise. Caught another in our cage and drove him way off into the mountains. Bed at 3:30AM.

4 down

Damn Bandits !!
Both Linda and I spent hours shooing away raccoons. We thought there were only a couple left but nooooo. We saw the 2 regulars – mom and delinquent kid and look over to the other part of the yard and there was 4 more !!!! We had 6 of these bold furry rabies infected nocturnal critters running around making tons of noise and destroying the yard.

Caught another and brought it way across town about 6Km away. I pulled into this park area – very dark and 2 seconds later a security car pulls up behind me. I felt weird and drove away and went to a school yard and dumped him there by some trees.

Looked into an electric fence but they wanted $175 for 100ft. Seems like too much right now. The cage is working. Just hope the same guys aren’t finding their way back. Maybe they are smarter than I think.

I’m exhausted - sigh

5 Down
