Raccoon trouble
Checked the pond yesterday morning and saw the fountain knocked over
and some plants on the edge of the pond. I thought it might have been a cat but later in evening my mom called me at work and said that my uncle who lives across the street found a hurt raccoon on his deck. I was wondering why I was missing some koi and now I know. My aunt just told me that the game warden came out and shot it. But where there is one there is bound to be another. Time to get out the shotgun. |

Hahah. Just kidding. For raccoons I'd put out a have a heart trap and relocate it. Sam "Gene" wrote in message ...

"Where there is one" ................ So far I'm up to ten and while
number ten was in the trap two more were tearing up the pond. I guess I'm lucky the only casualties have been frogs and snails. Of course my plants have been declared a disaster area. Local and federal laws prevent me from blasting the s@#* out of them. (within two hundred yards of a school) So I will have to continue relocating them to a county park. Some others have had good results with coyote urine as a repellant. But there hasn't been a coyote at the jersey shore in over a hundred years. The coons think it's cheap cologne.

Raccoon trouble
I was wondering why my dogs started barking uncontrolably one morning (2 am) so
I thought I see what's going on. I saw nothing and brought the dogs in when they went back to the door barking like crazy again. I let them out and followed them as they raced to the back gate. I figured it was kids drinking under a large tree on the back lot. Well, what to my surprise, a racoon sitting on the post to the gate. Nothing would shake him loose. He just sat there. We'd had reports of a rabid coon so I called the police and they came out, ready to shoot it, but after trying to get it off the post for almost 30 minutes it finally ran off and despite looking for almost an hour (3 cops and myself) we gave up. Been no sign of it since. Bless my 2 doggies for protecting my pond. I also took a picture of the critter while waiting for the police, it's on the page Just For Fun.

They look cute, BUT they can cause a lot of injury to most dogs .
They can and will protect themselves and their young. Casey may be smarter then you think. Now the wolf idea I like. Might get rid of the neighbors kids too. ;~} http://community.webshots.com/user/hankpage1 "Karen Mullen" wrote in message ...
