Ok that thread title got everyones attention

Rocky the racoon reappeared at the homestead last night. Around 2am I heard something on the roof and went ou tot investigate and the lil bugger was up there tryin to get into the opening we patched up in the summer. I managed to chase him away and go back to bed, but an hr later he was back.

Chased him off again, but now all the cats are awake and fired up and hoping for breakfast so theyre all in the bed having a grand old time while I am trying to sleep. of courdse this has to be on the day where I have to be up early and am working a double shift

Take the BB gun out and give him a 1 pumper to the rear end. The sting will chase him off but shouldn't break the skin.

Or wait until you have to call the roofers back...

Good luck with Rocky...

Hell yea. We had a pack of them trying to break into our bird feeders out back. The bird feeders are only like 20 feet off the back porch. So my brother took our pellet rifle and gave them a big surprise. They didn't come back.....

He also caught a squirrel doing the same thing. Can you say headshot???

Just pump it up and take care of it permanently.

Next morning, the balloon was popped and there was a ring around where the coon would have been.

Very nice.
