[QUOTE="Col_Pladoh, post: 559623, member: 796"] Perhaps you should follow a different tact. When we lived in the country some years back, I noted the many raccoons in the area, set about feeding them. Watching them devour chicken and turkey leg bones as if they were ice cream cones was amusing. The coons also enjoyed stale bread smeared with bacon fat. By the end of winter a half-dozen of the creatures were large, fat, and had glossy coats. Of course my wife was bent on having a coat made of raccoon fur. Then in the spring, as the sow coons brought their kits to the door to have them lavishly provisioned as well, her heart was softened. Watching them react to a raccoon hand puppet was hilarious! In the summer the cheeky critters were want to enter the house to check out the kitchen garbage can if a door were left open, and they would come and beg at the tables on the veranda if we were entertaining guests there, had food served. When we sold the place I left the matter of these rescally varmints to the new owners... Cheerio, Gary [/QUOTE]
