I would spare a possum before a coon, the former not being a carrier of rabies and eating their weight daily in vermin. However, I have to admit, catching one, cornering it and raising my .22 to dispatch it only to have it literally covering its eyes like it knew it was expecting imminent death convinced me to spare the little bugger. Not surprisingly, it gave our property a wide berth thereafter, and we never had trouble from raccoons again. Scarily intelligent and expressive.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those traps mangle their paws. He'd be maimed for life. I have caught dozens of coon in that trap and I have never had a mangled paw. It is probably the nicest trap out there for not mangling paws. Lots of surface area to hold the arm, but not enough to cause mangling. Leg hold traps are a different matter… |

Animals abilities to survive are amazing. I was walking around Mount Tamalpais, there were (or are) benches along the trail.
Walking past a bench I noticed a bird laying on it's side under the bench. About ten steps past I stopped because isomething didn't look quite right. As soon as I turned around the bird flew off. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I didn't watch, but I'm just here to say that coons are the most destructive force on the planet. I personally want to be responsible for their extinction. Raccoons would probably be pretty damn hard to eradicate. They're smart, can use their hands, climb well, have terrific sense of smell, eat practically anything, and don't mind living anywhere that humans do. In fact, they kind of thrive on it. Not to mention they breed prodigiously. If anything, humans have extended raccoons far beyond their normal range on earth. |

Dad of this kid, if he even has one, is a fuckstain. have you ever had your flock of chickens wiped out by a raccoon? they are savages, will kill or maim every bird in the coop. One week I shot a raccoon a day, at contact distance as they were bailing out of the chicken yard. I put up a 10 mile charger on 400 feet of fence because it was depressing to shoot nature in the face, and have had a truce with them for years now. I'm pretty sure there were some brain damaged raccoons stumbling around for the first year or so. I lost five turkeys chicks this year but that's on me because the turkey run was in a different part of the property. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They really are smart and have opposable thumbs too. Give them a few million more years of evolution(or a few hundred with an intentional uplift program) and we could end up with some interesting results Raccoons have 5 fingers...no thumbs. And they are not opposable. But they can grasp stuff better than most any other critter out there. I've held baby raccoons. They grab your finger almost like a human child. |

Lots of people dump them on other properties, which can cause various problems for other Raccoons and people. (Spread parasites/disease, etc). Missouri is the same way; MDC doesn't want them relocated. |

I think that is written in there so people don't go release them down the road where they become somebody else's problem. I have no problem killing pests, but honestly I probably would have let him live for how funny that was. I've usually just baited and shot pests, never trapped. How would you remove the trap from that guy without getting mauled? No joke, my dad had a pet racoon when he was growing up. I thought he was joking the first time he told me and didn't believe him until my grandmother backed up the story and showed me a picture. |
