Way to goooooo :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: PETA wouldn't like it but let them live with raccoons. When I first moved into my house I had a screened back door. I heard noise in the kitchen and thought it was the cat, all of a sudden it was walking out through the screen door. I freaked I thought the screen was broken and I didn't realize it. I ran to grab the cat's tail. it was a tiger cat so the tail looked like a raccoon. I then realized the cat was in DD room. A raccoon broke through the screen walked into my kitchen and took a bag of apples I had in a basket on the floor. Even today when the sun starts to go down I close the back door for fear a raccoon with push the screen in even thought it is a new door and make themself at home. I can't have a Bar-B-Q becasue if I grill out the raccoons think it's a party for them, for days I will have at least 4-6 raccoons on the deck. Where I am it is always open season for raccoons, they are considered a nuisance animal or something like that. They also carry rabies and fleas. yuck!!!!!!
