I'm thinking that maybe this thread should be moved to the Baja Recipes forum.

Yikes, Udo (Udos?)!! Be careful: raccoons can be VICIOUS little devils! They were getting into my house through the cat door, and one of them tore
my kitty's ear practically in half!

Here's another raccoon story:
We used to have a doggie door (it's gone now). So one night I hear the dog running through the house at 2 a.m.
Didn't bother me at first until I heard the bathroom door slam shut. So I decided to get out of bed and investigate. (No bat or bear spray on me this
time).
I open the bathroom door, turn on the light.
I immediately notice a raccoon on the floor and I scream!
The raccoon also screams!
He then runs through my legs and out to the doggie door
.A few days later, the doggie door was dismantled.

"My" raccoons were really clever. I had a "Yuppie" cat door -- animals needed a magnet on their collar to enter (or so I thought). Turns out the
'coons figured out that, although they could not push through the door, they could pry it back towards them, with their dexterous little "fingers." I
kept door locked for a couple of months, moved the cat food into a room away from door, and got a sensor light, and we were finally left alone.

That's also a very descriptive story of the coons.
Clever little guys, Huh?

We had coons show up every night when I lived up in Sequoia. They figure out real quick who is friendly and who isn't.
We always fed them, the neighbors never did.
The coons always tore through the neighbors trash and ransacked everything and anything in their garages/tool rooms or any other structure they could
get into.
They never touched or damaged any of our stuff or bothered with the trash cans.
Draw your own conclusions...

Raccoon populations are exploding due to low fur prices. Very few people trap anymore. As for as eating 'em, have eaten both coon and possum, possum
is better than coon and that's not saying much. 'Bout the the only controling factors are starvation and Parvo.

I never fed them (once I got wise to their sneaking in, eating the cat food, drinking the cat's water, and leaving a wet mess of water mixed with food
crumbs).
And other than the above, they never vandalized my property or anything. (I DID freak out a couple of times when I found them inside the house --
especially the time one was in my bedroom). :}

Just one, which I think came in through cat door at other end of house. It went FLYING off when it saw me, exited through a SECOND cat door that led
to my garage. We had lots of fun down there -- a fearless 'coon, and a barefooted me without any defensive gear. He stared me down from a shelf over
the washing machine. I was afraid to get too close, but I sneaked over to the garage door opener, opened it a tad, and started throwing anything I
could get hold of at the raccoon -- a bag of sponges, a box of detergent, etc. He barely budged. Finally, I gave up. I left the garage door open a
tad and went to bed. He was gone the next day.

Thanks, Udo. I remember thinking, at the time, "what a picture this would make - me, barefooted, in my flannel nightgown, scared as Heck, picking
anything up within reach and throwing it in the direction of this poor, CUTE little racoon....
So, Udo -- which are you: the male or the female in your avatar (or both)??

Which reminds me ... after that, I researched how to keep the 'coons away. COYOTE URINE was supposed to be a big "cure." I sent aware for some
powdered coyote urine, which ultimately did not help. Which REMINDS ME of a better story:
My elderly aunt, upon hearing the story, told me how SHE solved the problem. 1) She had my uncle go out to the back yard and urinate here and there.
(Seems that any male urine ostensibly can be effective.) That seemed to help a lot, so, at a party she was hosting not long thereafter, she asked
all of her male guests (most of whom were also elderly) to go take a pee in the back yard. Many graciously obliged. She said it worked like a charm!

Amazing. I thought they would pee just like dogs.
I'm sure glad we're talking again.

(me too.)
LOLOL: I think they DO pee like dogs. I guess there is a LOT of work and advanced technology involved in the collection of the pee and conversion of
it to highly concentrated crystals, based on its price. I paid through the NOSE for it (and paid again each time I used it, because it does not smell
like roses).
