I truly regret not tripling the number of raccoons I have killed. and I can say for sure I have killed several thousand.

that looks like a healthy well fed raccoon. Im guessing someone is feeding it? Or there is a corn field nearby.

One of the guys that worked for a Quarry in Havre de Grace, Maryland had one bite him on his leg at 4:30Aam. He had to get the shots.. We kept on teasing him that the Raccoon died.. Never found the animal..

Just a trash panda that's been fed handouts until it lost fear of man. I’m guessing rabies, hard to tell if the raccoon was partly paralyzed when it moved on but it seems like it coulda tore them up worse if it was firing on all it’s cylinders. That mom rocks 😎 I hope the kid gets over it. Shots for both underway I’m sure, IIRC they ain’t in your stomache any more. I think you're right, I've seen them fight coondogs and they can do some fighting, lightning fast and are constantly twisting clawing and biting the dogs. No healthy wild coon could be held like that, although Mom might have had an adrenaline grip kicking in. friend of mine grabbed one that was in battle with his dog, he said he wish he hadent, tore him up, said the coon went into a tasmanian devil mode

few years ago my wife went out to get the dog in and she starting yelling for me to help get him in as he was nose to nose with a big coon. got the dog in but holy crap it was a Hugh coon, came back in and grabbed a 22lr. went out and walked right up to him and place the muzzel below his ear, dead coon. starting putting two and two together and figured it was a tame coon that a dog boarder had and when she closed up shop she must of set it free. it was 2pm and if you see a coon during the day there has to be something wrong with it

My kids found one and come running in the house it was rolling on his back after coming up to them. I grab the pistol walked up to it and it was purring it’s little coon noise and I found that it had a collar so I took it home. I threw the damn thing in my wash room for the night in a dog carrier to see if we could find the owner. When I opened the door the next morning the son of a bitch destroyed the place including the carrier it cleaned the shelves peeled tile off the floor ripped the foam insulation off the plumbing. Boy was I glad to find the owner. Momma bear did good.

Coon should have reached out with a front paw and pulled her shirt down when she chucked it.
It really should have.
