There's a raccoon in my backyard. Can I legally shoot with it without a license?

[gojetsgomoxies]

i should have said when the O/U on seeing a raccoon on a toronto residential street is 30 seconds that that's late at night.

Outstanding movie, The Great Outdoors.

I'm currently at the lake where that movie was filmed.

Also thread reminded me I need to renew my raccoon hunting license.

Get a live animal trap. Catch it and let it sit there until it dies. then put it in a black garbage bag and throw it in the trash.

Crazy. I do the same thing to fat chicks in my HOA with Taco Bell

[RangeFinder]

What are you going to shoot it with?

I can't use a firearm. It's illegal to fire it where I live. I'm looking at one of those pcp air guns. This thing has tore my grass up at the edge of my patio looking for I don't know what. Don't know much about them other than the fact he is a problem.

Oh and I set a trap with strawberries in it and it's still empty.

[gauchojake]

Unless you get a very high powered one with those copper pointed pellets I don't think you are going to kill it, just piss it off.

Dude don’t kill it. Raccoons are good for the environment. They eat snakes and other rodents like mice and rats which are worse to have around your property. They don’t carry rabies. And the shit about them tearing up garbage cans is bullshit. Don’t dispose of old food in your garbage cans and they won’t touch them.

If if you don’t have a compost pile, (and everybody should), for vegetable peelings, egg shells and other organic material, simply toss any old food in far corner of your property. Raccoons, Possums, rabbits and deer will dispose of the old food and simply move on.

With animal habitats rapidly disappearing, these animals are now more and more becoming part of the urban and suburban landscapes. Raccoons are scavengers by nature and raid garbage cans only because they smell food in them.

Trapping it is a humane option if you feel like it’s a constant nuisance, just be sure to take it to a wooded area and set it free.

That’s because the Raccoon is smarter then you.

You dumb fukk!

My wish is that you miss the animal at -450
he then comes at you, biting you then
off to the doctor and a $300 rabies shot
later..Raccoon wins and justice is done.

for the fucckk of shooting.

explain things to him.

Great post.

Not a raccoon! whats wrong with you

[Cuse0323]

Raccoons are the shit. I still feel terrible about nailing one with my car, but that bastard was on a suicide mission. Nothing I could do except maybe flip my shit. Maybe he was just majorly concussed, and is still roaming free. A man can dream.

IF so that's awesome.

The fukk they don't carry rabies!!! They absolutely can carry rabies, maybe a much less lethal strain, but you definitely don't want a raccoon bite. The rest of your post is good.

My cousin raised two very small baby raccoons after their Mom got squished by a car. He would bottle feed them and let them climb a big tree to sleep during the day. He would call them down from the tree at sundown. He let them run around at night but always had them back up the tree early morning. Eventually they grew up to like their freedom and made their own way in life.

I always liked what you brought to
the forum before this post.

I still do.. as I know it’s the Smack
and Crack talking.

Keep hitting the pipe and vein but
not to hard as your presence would
be missed here.

Yes it was filmed in Bass Lake CA. It's near Yosemite. There's a family cabin with all the amenities including a VHS copy of the movie which we watch at least 1x per year.

I also got raccoons in my back yard
so you see we do have something in
common.

I also got squirrels and deer and fox
and skunks difference is I don’t go
around shooting them or starting
threads about shooting them on
a gambling forum.

On a side note.. did that raccoon
ever go for the strawberries in
your trap or did you gun him down
st -450?

I actually have a yard. Not some weed patch like you probably sport around your house. He is a destructive animal that has obviously taken up residence somewhere very close. I set the trap to give him a chance for release which hasn't worked yet. I'll give it another week since some here are PETA sympathizers. Good work SBR, he has a stay of execution right now. Hopefully he goes into the trap so I can drive him into the hills and release.

[Slipknot26]

Range , you gotta kill the shit out of that coon man .
That little bastard will destroy your house if given the chance.
This isnt some Marty Moose BS these guys telling you about, if you have animals , better find it quick . They will fukk a dog slap up , get it in water and drown them.

Lmao...has this destructive animal done anything else besides dig up some grass? I get if you have a pet or something you don't want getting bit by the raccoon.

Honestly this reads like a Looney Tunes episode.

If it's trespassing on private party it's fair game.. Blast it as they can cause trouble.

I'm about to blast a few squirrels any day now as they are constantly up in my avocado tree taking little bites out of every growing Cado on the tree. It's pissing me off!!!!!

I’ve heard in some parts of Texas, they ate squirrel. They said it taste like chicken.

[JIBBBY]

We got crows crowing at 5am in the morning in my hood and in Southern California.. That pisses me off too especially when they land on my roof in the early early morning and crack of dawn and start barking.. Crows are loud!!! Hate em!!! Blast them too!!!




Nasty little creatures I tell you!! Even pick on dogs..
