What we're trying to inculcate in the L.A. community is a reverence for life.

If you really want to give LA a reverence for life, haul your ass down to Compton and start inculcating in the 'hood.

1 Raccoon, cleaned
4 Carrots, chopped
3 Potatoes, chopped
2 Stalks of celery, chopped
1 Bag of frozen mixed vegetables
1 16 oz. can stewed tomatoes
Your favorite stew seasonings


Directions:


Remove glands and as much fat as you can from raccoon. Parboil until done, skimming fat off water as it rises to the top. Remove raccoon and let cool. De-bone meat and hold aside.
Add carrots, potatoes, celery, mixed vegetables and canned tomatoes to the pot. Add meat to pot. Add seasonings. Keep at a low simmer until ready to serve. For a thicker stew, add flour mix with cold water before serving, stir until thickened.

Serves 4

We have 4 black mouth yellow curs. I don't hunt but they sure would put a hurting on any coon they tangled with. But even some hunting breeds would be hard pressed to fight off an attack of several raccoons.

"A squirt bottle of ammonia solution will keep them at bay. A super soaker is better for longer range."

A 5-million CP light gun costs about ~$20. A flash in a raccoon's eyes blinds him for a few minutes while I train a very hard jet of ice cold water on him. Top it off with a jet of straight ammonia to the eyes/nose and you've just trained him to avoid your property for at least his next 100 lifetimes.

I guess not with these little masked banditos! They have opposable thumbs, like us and the monkeys!!!

Try shakin hands with one of these little flea bags sometime!!!

We catch 'em in the stray cat trap and throw trap and all into the trunk and then drive around lookin for folks that have offended us in the past! A humane "catch & release" program, don'tcha think???

I've been outta town the past 3 days and am workin my pings backward to catch back up...

Well lately I've found myself looking for stuff to laugh at to keep from tearing up a little!!! WASS!!! (Sometimes I detest the Holiday season)

[SierraWasp]

Wow!!! Liked you photo! (looks a lot like where I live) Like your screen name! But especially liked the thoughts on your FR homepage!!!

[SierraWasp]

Even my minature dashound has no fear of 'em!!! (of course he's got more guts than sense in the first place)

Nice.

About the time Jan 16th rolls around...and I will dog hunting.

[Osage Orange]

Good cattle dogs....

Although better get to them quick before your cow loses it's ears.......

[Uncle Hal]

This is pure liberal BS.

I see that besides the abundance gang banging raccoons, the California Loon is still doing well even though it continuously tries to self eradicate.

[Ditter]

Good grief!

Note to self: Say a special prayer tonight that I wasn't born in California.

I used to have a couple of pet raccoons...I also had a 90 pound all muscle male Black Lab. He could of broke a coons neck in a minute or two....I'd give ol Fred 15 seconds.

The picture is from Varmint Al's web page. A great site for yote hunting. I hunt yotes in the central valley foothills and my favorite rifle from the armory for this purpose is my bull barrel Remington VLS .22-250 loaded with Hornady V-max ballistic tips using Varget powder. Deadly accurate with a 32X scope and micro click adjustment out past 700 yards. Try to keep most shots within 200 yards.

Ornery bandits, they never met a trash can they didn't like.

My two dogs enjoy frequent walks along the Venice canals - mostly to flush out the ducks. Never been bothered by raccoons but I'm not worried, I've got Airedales.

[Osage Orange]

I'm on the NE prairie of Okla....about 25 crow miles from the KS border...Cattle country basically, really some of the best natural grass in the world.

Lot's of dog's here.....friend shoots a Ruger 220 Swift....

I shoot my deer rifle, .270 Winchester....I can reach out and touch some flesh with it, on the good days. Ha!!

Would like to own a 220, 243, 25-06, or 22-250 to shoot dogs with...but have not purchased one as of yet.
