HOUSTON--At the Stop and Save in Richwood, you’ll find lottery tickets, beer and fishing bait, plus a gaze of raccoons--that’s what they’re called in groups. They've taken up residence in the woods behind the store.
"They eat everything," said Stephanie Rutkowske, a local animal lover. "Doritos, Cheetos, chocolate. Or a big bag of cat food. They’ll eat that just as good too."

LOL last summer in Dexter Michigan some woman was cheerfully explaining that the Black bears don’t fear her and let her get pretty close to them.
I personally think they need to be driven back north.
Achtung!
They'll take one out and try to wash it before they eat it and it just disappears. They try to figure out where it went for a few seconds, then go back and get another one, and do it all over again.
Coons gotta eat too.
Probably a good idea. Though, it does clean up the gene pool...
I had one of those bastards tear up my roof to the tune of nearly $1500. After that, it was shoot on site.
Thank God for guns, huh, johnny?
“Furs for a blanket and the bone in their... nethers.... for a toothpick.”
My Daddy always called it a CoonBone. I think I’ve still got one in my possibles bag.
Where’s Davy Crockett when you need him?
Do you remember when the coons invaded the White House? LOL

Gaze of Raccoons Sneak Onto White House Grounds

I had a pet coon many years ago.
I used to terrorize him before he got the best of me.
I’d make him a stack of peanut butter and cracker sandwiches.
First I’d remove his water bowl.
Or I’d give him a slo-poke candy bar and he’d glue his mouth shut.
And I’d put guppies in his water bowl.
He go crazy trying to catch em.
In some ways Black Bears are worse than Grizzlies. A Black Bear will wound it’s prey and feast on it while still alive. That would be a bad way to go. I imagine Grizzly man checked out pretty quick.

They certainly are, though. That was NOT something covered in culinary school. I had to learn that from family.

The first one you trap. Chop him into itty bitty pieces.
Spread them pieces all around the yard.
You won’t have any more coon problems for a long time.
Coons love dog food.
Squirrels love dog food.
Birds love dog food.
Cats love dog food.
Opossums love dog food.
Don’t leave dog food outside—or just inside the pet door entrance.
You cannot drive them away, you have to shoot them. Hateful vermin rabies carriers that kill your chickens, turkeys rabbits and anything else that is smaller than them...they growl, hiss and spit when caught in a live trap...a bullet usually puts a stop to that..hateful critters...
Algonquian term meaning "he scratches with his hands".
Fitting! ;-)
My neighbor thought they were cute and was feeding the things. I told him if he hears my 12 gauge don't call the cops. ;-)
Those little bandits are cute, but they kill chickens, ducks and baby geese... worse, they just kill them for the fun of killing.
They are not welcome on my property.
