You consider that a large coon? I live in a rural farm/forest area of the Indiana Michigan border and we've at least 2 regulars, both of which I'm worried could form tackle my 2 year old lab.

A rimfire .22 long rifle could end this problem

Holy shite that’s a lot of raccoons.

They’re cute and funny until one of the little frickers decides it’s not scared of you anymore and gets uppity. Then they’re just assholes.. with claws and opposable thumbs.

I don’t doubt that they were “demanding” food like she said.

I mean... she fed them every night... and kept feeding them... they began expecting it. She made herself their primary food source. What did she think would happen?

"Hey Bob, it's dinner time. Go get the boys. Let's roll. Heck, invite everyone!"

Seems like a metaphor for America’s open border the past 4 years. Offer free food and benefits, and the vermin will eventually overwhelm you.

No doubt. I’m just saying raccoons are different from other wild animals in that A) they can suddenly become absolutely fearless of humans and B) they can be very demanding/persistent about food.

If you stop feeding a feral cat it might hang around for a few days and then frick off somewhere else to find more food. Talking about a truly feral/wild cat. If you stop feeding a raccoon it might frick off or it might beat on your window until you acknowledge it then sit outside staring you down.

I can’t imagine what a hundred of the little frickers would do.

Or.... worse than that... it'll simply try to get into your house and get it's own food. Door handles... attic... wherever it can.

True story... my aunt and uncle had a raccoon literally trying to open their back door... got up on the electric meter which was near the door... stretched out it's paw and starting pushing down on the door handle to the storm door. Lucky for them they keep it locked. And this was just one being nosy.

They just need little electric scooters to ride around from feeder to feeder.
