      You better dispose of the carcass without anyone seeing the wounds.

              I'd let him stay. They eat all the other little critters that you don't want around. Plus they look cool.

                  I think a crock pot and a few invited dinner guests would work best for that.

                              Raccoons are nasty mean animals who could destroy your home if they get up on the roof

                              Call a trapper

                              Trapper will relocate the beast to another location

                                you sissies yelling about raccoons like they are mountain lions are hilarious. I grew up surrounded by these guys. Worst case scenario theyll knock down your garbage cans and make a mess. Do you kill all the squirrels in your yard too? is this like a 10x10 yard or do you have some room. If you have any type of woods just piss off and let the damn thing chill. They are only a problem if you see them during the day and they are acting strange.

                                      That racoon probably has a family. That is someone’s aunt or uncle.

                                                  Not Aids but Rabies.

                                                  Is it foaming at the mouth like JJ does on some of his Vids???

                                                  And how do you know it's a he? Did you witness a ball-sack???

                                                  Could be a Female with Coon kids.

                                                    raccoons are pretty smart, they will find a way into your garbage cans if you keep them outside.

                                                      It's only illegal if you get caught.

                                                        Short answe, I don’t think so unless you use the stand your ground defense.

                                                          Is it foaming at the mouth like JJ does on some of his Vids???

                                                          And how do you know it's a he? Did you witness a ball-sack???

                                                          Could be a Female with Coon kids.
                                                          Yeah, they carry the Rabies too. Got to watch out for the AIDS though.
