Default Damn racoons

Are back, just not in my roof this time. I am out on the deck grilling some burgers for dinner. First I notice the light sensor on th epatio below was tripped, figured no biggie. So then I hear something in the tree right behind me ( we have a tree that comes up alongside the deck. And I see the beaddy little eyes and the bank robber mask. He climbs outof the tree and is sitting on the bench staring at me. I go back inside to find a weapon ( wish I had a pellet gun now) come out with a metal flagpole, this thing nonchallantly walks up to the garbage and starts looking for food. I took a few pokes at it and it backed off then sort of walked towards me, thing didnt show any agression whatsoever though. I hit it a few times and it backed off and went back towards the tree and climbed up into it. I went after him some more and he just meandered on down and was on his way.

I found it odd this thing had no fear of humans (much less me ) and even when being threatened/attacked didnt have any sense of urgency. If I could have gotten closer and had a better weapon I was def ready to kill this thing and it didnt seem to care.

Hopefully he got the message and wen tto look for food somewhere else.

He will be back. He isn't worried about you at all. Someone must be feeding them. There is a crazy woman by my mothers that feeds them. Those damn fools walk out before dark now. They don't care who is around.

I went to put something in my green bin one night and just as I went to open it I heard a noise and jumped back. I went in and turned on the light. The fucker climbed out of the bin and walked off. It wouldn't have been good if I opened that lid with him in there.

Poor , Tommy be nice to them, don't go beating it with flagpole and other makeshift weapons! What is wrong with you? Save that for your ghetto patients that dont' have health insurance and don't pay their med bills and taxes our healthcare system.

They havent been around in a while I heard them up on the roof a few times and I guess were bummed we closed up thier little hangout in my attic. Were near a big park and a couple of nature preserves down by the water so theres plenty of places for them to hang out.

A couple of times our trash has been torn up as has some of the neighbors, now I try not to put the stuff outside untill its pickup day.

What surprised me was how nonchallant the lil bugger was. There was a second one still in the tree, I dont know if it was a baby or not. I know these things can be a bit unpredictable so I didnt want to give it an opportunity to come at me but even after I ghit him a few times he didnt seem to care.

I think my dad has an air rifle so I may see about borrowing that as well.

Gina while I kind of agree and I like the racoon more than a lot of my patients theres legal issues to contend with if I bludgeon them, no matter how much they deserve it
