Any story that involves a pack of raccoons never ends well.

Try strapping on the Javelinas or a pack of Mexican Grey Wolves, or even feral hogs.

I don't know about you folks, but trying to wrestle down a 4 lb. housecat is a recipe for disaster.

If you are going to be an animal and nature lover, you need to be prepared to fend off animals and nature.

Sounds planned. An ambush.

[GladesGuru]

When attack by a band of “Suburban Ferals” is possible, carry a firearm, not mace.

The beasties can do without your spicing yourself up before the ‘coon feast begins.

It’s a “Gaze” of Raccoons..Guess they set their eyes on the poor woman.

[Terry Mross]

So what did the dog do?

[ClearCase_guy]

Was she on the phone with 911? Did they tell her that she didn’t need to follow the raccoons? Were skittles involved?

[hosepipe]

Wrong kind of dog.. the right kind would have gone thru those raccoons like a conservative telling truth at an NAACP convention...

They’d be running for the nearest tree.. to climb like a scared monkey..

[I see my hands]

I, for one, really like the raccoon eyes look on women.

This is a blatantly racist thread...

Wilding?

Wait! Call turtleman!

I’m thinking the racoons are up to something.

If they can’t capture and take the heads in for testing of every raccoon that bit her she is in for Rabies shots. But those are not the horror they once were. The injections are given in the shoulder and not the abdomen like 20 or 30 years ago. Still painful but far better than going through one of the worst imaginable ways to die.

I’m sure a pack (or glaze if you must) of threatened racoons will surely be deathly afraid of a little mace. Obviously she has never been schooled about the viciousness of cornered or threatened wild animals. I can picture her spraying mace at the grizzly bear that her dog rousted out of the brush.

Roast raccoon used to be featured on the menus of America’s best restaurants.

Skinned raccoon can still be sold as long as one of the paws (hands?) is still attached. at least get some use out of the little b@stards. My uncle used to thin the herd with .22 crimped shot, near the trash cans at night with the back porch light on.

And teach the young’uns how their granddads worshipped Davy Crockett, wore his coonskin cap, & wished they owned his Kentucky long rifle.
