Trapped!


The problem with an angry raccoon in your Havahart trap is ... you have to open the door and let him out.

  3. Reminds me of a Carl Perkins song - "that must be your gal, mine don't look like that - you know my gal, she's so-o-o big and fat!"
    I know that's not *my* raccoon; my raccoon is as big as a medium size dog. give that little guy a ride, just don't bring him up here ;-)

  5. Try that with a skunk. Then we'll have a beer and laff about it.

    This thing looks like a poodle in a raccoon suit. What a tiny critter.

  8. Sophie,
    I considered it, but he was so ticked,and I was in a hurry that morning.

    Emma,
    He fell for some old boiled peanuts.

    Deb,
    A bit of rope for a running head start, bracing the trap against a tree, and a strong jerk on the rope to open the door.
    We both survived.

    Anon,
    Our raccoons are already getting ready for bikini season.

    SCM,
    I did!

    Freste,
    Is the beer for getting rid of the smell?
    Hmmm ... perhaps it was a poodle in a racoon suit... they are very clever dogs, those poodles.


    3C,
    I view every raccoon as a simmering petri dish of rabies. Super cautious around them.


    Dani,
    Very, very snarly.


    Kitty,
    I'm sure I will be making that one someday if I keep setting this trap by the garbage cans! LOL

  9. S/he looks a bit skinny and hungry. I hope those peanuts were yummy, and worth the indignity of the trap.
