I decided to trap a raccoon last night....

I was high off my ass with some new shit.

We have raccoons that get into our garbage every single night. I've tried several different things to deter them from getting into it, but they are smart sonsofbitches.

I decided to set up a trap last night. The garbage is right below my upstairs office window. I took and old sheet and put it on the ground outside, tied rope to the 4 corners, ran the rope up through the window and waited. I put a brand new bag of garbage out for them.

Around 10pm, I heard something outside. I peeked out and saw FOUR raccoons, very excited about the garbage that was "left out." I untied the rope that was hanging inside the window, and in one quick motion, yanked the rope so the sheet came up around the raccoons and trapped them in midair, in the sheet.

I got one. I didn't think I had caught any, because the sheet wasn't moving, so I lowered it back to the ground, and a raccoon jumped out. I set it up again, but they didn't come back. Maybe they will tonight 8-)

I'm a very humane person. I wouldn't do anything to hurt them, I just want to scare the shit out them so they don't come back. Thanks for reading :rasta::rasta:

That is fucking fantastic hahahahaha.

I've had coon problems in the past. Little adorable furry bastards...

Oh, I have a few videos too. Never been that close to one before. They are smart fuckers....but very greedy. I'm sure they knew it was a trap, but couldn't help themselves.

Can you upload videos to this site? Or do you have to post them on youtube or something and link to it?

they get right up on our window seals and look in :D i shot one with a BB gun once, it was eating the cat's food . . . it didn't even flinch, it just looked at me like it was thinking "is that all you got?" :jointsmile:

Dude, they were fucking GROWLING at me afterwards. They were pissed.

Well if someone set up an ACME Co.-like contraption to catch you whenever you had the munchies you'd be super duper pissed too haha.

you better watch yer ass ! ... nothing much meaner than a raccoon, they can tear up a pack of dogs ... also, number #1 critter, for carrying rabies (not bats) ... believe this hillbilly boy :D

Yah, I know they are mean. My dad called me a few weeks ago with a story about catching a family of raccoons that had nested in the attic above their garage. He said he was pretty nervous handling them, even though they were caged. He transported them about 20 miles to a creek bed. He said they were growling, snarling, and trying to escape the whole drive.

Rebelgirl, you are absolutely right. I purposely didn't indulge my munchies so I could ride the high out (I only get to smoke once every couple weeks, life is getting busy again). I had a blast last night 8-)

Edit: except that I'm high again right now...got my work done early today.

Yeah I've got them on my property. My 180 lb lab toke one on last year and got his face tore up. One killed a neighbors small dog 2 weeks ago. If I see them out during the day I just shoot them. Getting to be too many of them.
