A 40lb raccoon? What the fark has it been eating? Small children?

Don't be fooled. Raccoons are ruthless killing machines.

I don't trust anything that climbs out of storm drains.

I was outside work, on a smoke break. 3 of the bastards snuck up on me. My ass slammed shut, as we're in the heart of rabies season. They were just juveniles, who had probably never seen a person before. Sadly, I had no camera on me. They were cute, and not rabid.

Damn if I found a 40 pound raccoon sitting in my tub it would mean dinner for two and a new hat, and already being in the tub is a bonus as that means easier clean up after the gutting/skinning.



/although one that big would have a hard time fitting into the tub next to that engine block I have been rebuilding.

Did it fix some dumplings?

jingks: If I find a raccoon and take pictures of it, I too can be in the news? Might leave my door open just for fun.


whats ya alls address? and can ya squeal like a pig?

i once had a full grown raccoon come up from behind me when i was preparing food in a campground... the little bastich stood behind me hissing as hard as he could - he wanted to get his paws on the food and i was in the way. i wish i had a picture of the look on his face when i turned around, puffed up, and HISSed back at him (i learned how to hiss from my cats). by the time i was letting out my third HISS he was running as fast as his stumpy lttle legs would take him and climbed the nearest tree to escape me. and he didn't come back.

/just glad he didn't call my blustery bluff
//raccoons are not your friends

etymxris: If it's that friendly doesn't that usually mean it has rabies?

The only way to tell is if they can still kiss passionately.

Adorable, at 40 lb? Don't think so.

Has anyone mentioned the rabies?

kevinfra: Came for the Allstate Mayhem guy eating insulation in the attic. Leaving disappointed.

That's just sadistic.
