[straittactical]

I heard the dog barking like crazy went outside to find my siberian husky had this guy stuck up in one of our trees. this was i like 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

Did you give him a hug and tell him everything was going to be ok?

I had a young one walk across the road in front of my car this afternoon and saw one mid morning a week ago. They must be feeling froggy with spring bursting forth.

Well what did you do with the intruder, leave him be?

We had one in our big maple last summer right in the middle of the day. He was curled up in a ball probably close to 30 feet up swaying in the breeze. I think he was asleep at first but then he spotted us checking him out. We live right in town. Never have seen him again.

I like raccoons when they aren't getting in my trash or dog food. Cool picture.

I like raccoons when I don't have to deal with them destroying stuff...

I like raccoon on a plate cooked over an open fire with mashed taters, corn and A1 sauce.

Took the kids to the Field museum in Chicago last weekend. While looking at the dead animals, was surprised to find that the Raccoon was related to dogs and the Hyena is from the cat family.

I have seen quite a few of them here lately. I would guess their population is booming since no one really hunts them much anymore.

Shhhhhhh

Population stays pretty good in Indiana. Plenty of food options and habitat. I do believe the drought last summer took a toll on the Kittens, as I hardly treed any young coon this fall and winter.

Unless fur prices sky rocket or the population increases enough that disease becomes a problem, there will always be plenty around.
