I hear raccoon is rather greasy meat...

Yes, and Cyril Sneer, an aardvark in the Canadian cartoon series The Raccoons also incorrectly called them rodents.
Related to bears: you know the whole thing about them washing their food? I think the German word for raccoon, waschbar,
would translate to “washing bear” (and I think the French
word would translate to “washing rat”)
Tenn.’s official animal is the raccoon; the Tenn. Titans
mascot is T-Rac, a raccoon etc.
We had a couple raccoons causing trouble with our garden and cat last week - the problem was solved with my Winchester Model 37, 20 ga. with No. 6 shot.
Wow you’re brave. (Sarc intended)
I hope someday you get to feel their pain.
So you want to shoot me for protecting my property and pets from dangerous vermin? Grow up - or come on over.
Raccoons are cute, but they will kill pets and poultry, sometimes just for fun. If one of them is bothering your livestock, humanely dispatching it the only real option.
don’t be too hard on him...he is a mango tree lawyer after all...
There are guys where I work that hates Racoons. One hates thme so much, he sets up a Humane trap made of steel, and when he catches one, he clamps Jumper cables and fries them.
Racoons may be cute, but they are diease carriers and pests, Kind of like Barny Frank.
