Title: Saw these little bandits today
Post by: saylean on June 28, 2009, 06:50:00 PM: I go outside on my deck around lunch for some reason...look to my left and theres a female momma coon about 4 ft from me. She went under the deck and growled, so I let her be for a bit.

I got to watch her and the babies for about 20 minutes. Cute little buggers...even called her in once with my predator call. One climbed about 12 ft up a tree and peaked over at the neighbors.

Post by: Straight Shooter on June 29, 2009, 02:46:04 PM: We had a mom and three little ones on the correctional facility grounds that I used to work at. They are smart critters. I watched her teach them how to climb trees and raid the dumpsters... it was quite a sight. The feral cats didn't stand a chance when they tangled with the raccoons.

I was hoping the coons would keep the neighborhood cat population in control... :chuckle:
