Raccoon in the house

This morning before dawn I got up to prepare for work and went into the kitchen to make coffee. You guessed it--it was back. :roll:
I am really dreading going home today, because it is a large-sized male and STRONG (he proved that when I used a broom handle to push him off the kitchen sink). I will most likely improvise a snare from the broom handle and put him into the metal cage we have here and drive 500 miles to drop him off. :P
My brother has a pellet pistol and threatened to kill it with the "weapon" but I insisted that would only anger the raccoon, that it would most likely charge him with bare razor sharp teeth and long diseased claws etcetera so I hope he will let cooler heads prevail.
I hate Tuesdays.

One answer: PU. Smelled a dead sunk, and it was smelling TERRIBLE.
 
Don't be surprised if the coon story is over when you come home.:dunno:

Reminds me of this thread I made years back...

Also some people should be cautious handling raccoons as they may carry rabies... let the professionals (animal control officers) handle it.

I was going to say that but you beat me to it here. :giggle:

My son in law has to ties the trash covers to the cans , and the raccoon tried to knock the cans over. One raccoon tried to take the trash can with him. It's an ever ending battle and I think the raccoons are winning.
