40 years ago I and a group of friends used "Water UZIs" that we bought
at the Ithaca New York Woolworths 5 & 10 to successfully
deter and repel an out-of-control gang of marauding raccoons
at the Taughannock Falls campground in the Fingerlakes region of New York.
We adequately secured our camp sites.
Dang raccoons got what they deserved, little beasts...
And yes, yes I know that raccoons can carry rabies and we
dumb young folks were putting our lives at risk.
But we all survived the battle with no casualties - luckily.
I spent a lot of time and money at that Woolworths when I was a kid. I used to stop there to by a box or 2 of 22 ammo on my way up to my friend’s house a bit up Hudson. We would then go up near 2nd dam to plink with his 10/22, and then, if it was warm, go swimming and diving at the top of it afterwords. It was always a bonus when the nude college girls were up there sunning and swimming as they were usually nude. Ahhhh those crazy teen years.
