Well! The trap is set again. This will be #4 this year.

Had a chimp-sized raccoon (and mate). Caught it mid-night, chased
it up a red oak. Turned on the 500 watter, got the hose with jet
stream nozzle. Sprayed the sucker for about 30 minutes, up and
down the 30 ft tree. The mate got worried and came back (I think
the male offered himself by going up the tree and let the mate get
away by ground). She was blinded by the light and didn't see me.
Very weird when she stood up. Back to the male up the tree and
very soaked. He slowly came down, and I kept the spray on. Down
some more. Spray still. When he made it to the lowest limb he
looked exhausted. I stopped. He left. Haven't seen them since
(last year). And they were around for several years before this.

So, just show them who's boss! ahah
