‘trap-and-release’? I thought they wanted to get rid of them? Or is this going to be just another government job?

It seems to me from the names in the article that this is a gentrified liberal enclave. I would think that the coons would be welcomed because they were there before the libs
took over. The coons are just exercising their eminent domain on the area and the righteous libs won’t give it back.

Quite a bit of irony in this story that will remain unspoken...

‘...Do NOT leave rat poison where raccoons can get at it...”

Hehehe! My daughter who lives in Harlem just blocks from West Harlem will definitely never under any circumstances leave out any rat poison if the raccoons migrate a few blocks further east. (She lives on the the third floor so is very unlikely to have a problem.)

An old coot who we hired to trap some beaver out of our lake was the county “go to” guy for coons. I’m friends with one of his sons, awhile after his dads passing he laughed and told the wife and I what his old man was up to.

He would go into the nicer subdivisions and trap annoying coons for a fee, then release them near another nice subdivision across town, the old fart had a real scam going around the entire county.

He said his dad probably caught this one same old coon with a bobbed tail at least 10 times over the years...

What they need is about a dozen large sacks of dry cat food. Raccoons *hate* dried cat food.

LOL!

Back in the summer of 2006, I was transferred back to my company's big manufacturing plant on Detroit's east side. There was a cat that kept coming onto my deck in the middle of the night causing my cat to go crazy, trying to fight it thru the back doorwall.

Well, for about a week I kept trying to catch it with my hav-a-heart live trap but all I caught was 2 possum and 2 coons. So what I did was throw the trap into my trunk and on the way into work, I let them go about a block away from the plant.....LOL!

Never caught or heard the cat again...........

I grew up in Brighton, we had 10 acres across the road from Kensington Metropark’s nature study area. Everybody and their brothers uncle dropped their pests over there, the population of coons and possums per acre is higher than anywhere in the state I think.

(Grampa owned 40 acres that bordered it across from us, we also had the best deer hunting land in lower Michigan as well thanks to the park’s woods and golf course... :-)
