There's a Racoon in my Backyard, and My Boy is Skeered...

[SunnySooner]

It's trash night...that trash has to go out. Boy is skeered, we do have some big-butt 'coons and they ain't shy. They like our trash this time of year. Mr. SS is out of town, again...it's either me or that damn 'coon. Suggestions? And I'll get arrested if I get my gun, so something else, please...

So... you're husband is out of town, heh?

[SunnySooner]

Y'all are so much help...:rolleyes:

[Okla-homey]

Y'all are so much help...:rolleyes:

Honey,

Go out there with your son's aluminum ball bat and take care of bidness. You start banging around, and they'll high tail it. They hate light too. If you've a flood light that will illuminate the trash can area, turn that on before you go out.

Long term though, I would imagine you could use a .22 on 'em. I used to kill squirrels with a .22 in my back yard in a subdivision in town and no one ever complained.

Alternatively, leave the lid off the can, and watch the little bastage go inside, then pop on the lid. Your trashman will have a big surpise, but, I would imagine that goes with the territory.

[StoopTroup]

Remember....they carry teh rabies.

[SunnySooner]

Homey, we done been there, done that. They climb up on my girl's swingset and watch us til we go back in the house. These are some hard ***, Jax-inner-city, coked-up 'coons we're dealing with here. And they NEVER come around when Mr. SS is home, I swear, it's like they got his flight schedule or something. Damn it to hell, this is MY HOUSE, by God!!!! I will prevail!!!!!

Then use the .22 and make into a spam like substance to re-bait the trap.

OMG, thanks ST, I'm laughing so hard right now!!! I shoulda taken some video...I went out and yelled and banged on stuff, and Boy hightailed it down to the street with the trash cans, Mean *** 'Coon sits up there and watches us. He's missing a big chunk of his tail, this dude's done battle before, apparently. He'll probably have our trash strewn all over the street by morning, but we ain't going back out there tonight!!! If he wants our rotten leftovers that bad, he can have them...oh lowered, that was too funny, I gotta breathe!!!

call on ol' BF for assistance...

Where's VT700 Guy when you need him?

[Leroy Lizard]

And they NEVER come around when Mr. SS is home, I swear, it's like they got his flight schedule or something. Damn it to hell, this is MY HOUSE, by God!!!! I will prevail!!!!!

So... what is his flight schedule?

[SunnySooner]

Leroy, honey, I'm not near freaky enough for you...no blue hair or nuthin', sorry. ;)

[jumperstop]

Just rub peanut butter all over your hands and face and then attempt to pet them. That'll scare them off forever... :rolleyes:

[StoopTroup]

Can you put the trash cans in the garage and set the alarm to get up and go out and put them out in the morning? They are nocturnal like vampires. They won't probably get into it after 5 am.

[SunnySooner]

Oh hell, ST, I'm way too lazy for that. IDK why they get so bold about now, it's not like it's cold or anything, it was close to 80 today. There's plenty of stuff in the woods for them to eat, I would think. Maybe THEY are lazy and just want the Trash Buffet at Chez Sunny. I think a new trash can with a really tight fitting lid is in my near future. That was funny and all, but I don't want to deal with Rabid Short Tail 'Coon every Thursday until spring.

[olevetonahill]

Like the Homester said. Run that bastage up the swing set, Take the Bat and Knock ya a home run with his ****ing head :cool:

[Leroy Lizard]

Leroy, honey, I'm not near freaky enough for you...no blue hair or nuthin', sorry. ;)

We're meant for each other. There's no point in denying it.

[soonerchk]

I use a hoe for all my wildlife killing needs. You can whack them upside the head and then chop em up. But if I didn't have a hoe, I wouldn't be above using a baseball bat. No critter is coming uninvited into my home and pooping on my floor!!!

[StoopTroup]

I think you should head to JAX and fight Mr. SS to the death for her.

[SunnySooner]

LOL, Chk, I like where your head's at here, but y'all are not understanding the size or 'tude of these creatures. Think really oversized Gremlins. A hoe/bat/shovel is just gonna **** him off. I'm more in line with the trap dealio and then calling the city to come and deal. What the hell do I pay taxes for anyway??? So I can stand out in my skivvies at midnight trying to hack some rabid, scarred, racoon to death??!?!? I think not. I could break a nail. ;)

[olevetonahill]

Hell Gurl aint No Critter 4 Legged er other wise Im skeered of .;)
Call Me Ill come down there and Take the Bastage out ( The Coon, Not the other )

Okay, the largest thing I've threatened was a possum and he just did like I wanted and played possum. As far as I know he had all of his tail, maybe he was just a sissy. But yeah, it's really not worth breaking a nail over, especially if you have a male type neighbor to come deal with this for you? I can loan you a brother, they do all my icky stuff when the POI is not available.

Ammonia in the can.....

With a coon you had better make damn sure of your aim. :D

Rowr! Rowr!

You never answered my question: What is your husband's flight schedule?

[Collier11]

Leroy, honey, I'm not near butt ugly enough for you... sorry. ;)

FIXED

[AlbqSooner]

When I lived in St. Pete I had a couple of inner city coons. I used a trap like ST showed you. When the coon got in it I put the trap and coon in one of those giant lawn and leaf bags and duct taped a hose into the bag. Hooked the other end of the hose to my lawn mower exhaust, started it up, and ran it till the bag was well inflated. Waited 30 minutes and emptied the trap into the trash can that the coon had been trying so hard to get into. Voila.

[soonerchk]

So did the trash get put out and was there a raccoon attack?:pop:

[pphilfran]

The wild pack that this one runs with has been visiting my place for years....

There is just one c in racoon you googling gump hillbilly.

[SunnySooner]

Trash went out safely, you'll all be happy to know. Neither creature nor man, or woman, in this instance, was harmed. But we had this same problem last year about this time, these bastages are bold, hungry, and cocky as whorn fans before the Iowa State game. I'm pretty sure...this means war. Those effin' 'coon taliban *** holes can kiss it. Mama Bear will PROTECT THIS HOUSE!!!
