trained nightwatch raccoons, no less. (and we thought we'd heard everything)
What do they do when they "see" something. Chatter? go bite 'em? Try to steal their lunch money? what?
yes I train `em from babies coz their mothers bring em up on the porch and I feed `em dog food etc - I get to pet them; soon they guard the place because they are territorial,—
My sis had pet raccoons guarding her house when she was away. She has a doggie door that the cats and the raccoons use to get into her bedroom- she feeds the raccoons in her bedroom- She is up 3,000 feet higher up the mountain-
Oh if someone comes on the property they go in a gang of 8 to ten and chase `em away... Only the big males are harder to train- coz they usually guard their family but they are extremely aggressive towards strangers n they got big teeth n very sharp claws. They all got names and come when I call em. Oh raccoons are nocturnal; they can see in the dark for miles. They can hear for miles n smell too
For daytime I got guns n neighbors a mile away with guns.. who are always shooting at something or t`other- enuf noise to keep anyone away..Sometimes the wolves come down to try to eat the raccoon food and it`s a a standoff- 2 wolves against a dozen raccoons so they just stand there lookin at each other, one group fat the `t`tother one hungry- But if a pack of coyotes come down, then the raccoons go up into the oak tree...
