And raccoons can be plenty viscous even when not trapped. I remember watching as a really big one attempted to get into our trash cans some years ago. Bastard saw me watching and started walking in my direction snarling at me. “Are YOU LOOKING AT ME?”

Yes, I believe that any one of them would become agitated if trapped or cornered but so would I!

We have a pile of them with at least one living someplace on my property at any given time. When I rebuilt our pool shed I pulled up the old floor and there was a regular skunk condo complex under there. The most fun is when the big great horned owls come hunting at night and scoop one up. I have seen it happen 4 or 5 times now and it is very impressive.

In San Jose the only time I saw raccoons was when I was delivering papers early in the morning as a kid. They would always run back down into the storm drains. Lots of opossums, and lots of Norway rats. Of course in California you smell skunk all the time. Must be mating season for Great Horned Owls. They have been waking me up every night lately. |

[QUOTE=Tcoat;3570337 ... I have never had a single case where any of them showed any form of aggression at all. They either sit and stare at me with a distinct "hey I'm just looking for food here" attitude or we nod good morning to each other and each just go our separate ways. ...
Yes, I believe that any one of them would become agitated if trapped or cornered but so would I![/QUOTE] That has been my usual experience, but I guess it depends on the individual racoon's definition of "threatened." In our case, my wife and kids beat a hasty retreat into the house. I followed soon after. I watched out the window. The racoon went back to trash bin. Unfortunately, it was locked and he didn't have a spare key. On the more comical side I backpacked for several years in the San Gabriel and Sierra Nevada mountains. Always carried my food in a "bear canister." In all of my trips I never saw a bear. Yet, I come home and get menaced by a fuckin racoon on my driveway.

I know man, I know. When I was a kid we’d chase armadillos - Grab them by the tail and then let them go. One evening I was chasing one and just as I was reaching to grab it, it turned on me and hissed. My sister said I jumped over it and cleared it by 4 feet. Never jumped like that before or since.
