Before you casually handle any wild animal carcase, check out the cost of post-exposure rabies shots. Emergency room at a major hospital - $13k. Yes, that is not a typo. Yes, that is first hand knowledge.
I really didn't want to shoot the bird in front of my granddaughter, so I waited until the next morning and it was gone. .
Got the below picture of a coon on the 23rd, thought it was "odd" being out in 100*+. Figured it was the water.
I don't know if it's camera angle or what,but judgeing from feeder behind it that was a good size coon.I've seen bigger but not that common around here.Also seen an albino coon.It either had rabies or got his/her courage from fermented corn mash !

Good reason to leave it be and let the buzzards and maggots to do their jobsBefore you casually handle any wild animal carcase, check out the cost of post-exposure rabies shots. Emergency room at a major hospital - $13k. Yes, that is not a typo. Yes, that is first hand knowledge.

Your right BB, that is a big coon, and it's not the fermented corn in my beverage talking either!:laughing::laughing:

That's a fine one. If I've seen bigger, it's not enough to matter. I don't think he's backing down or taking any cr*p from any other raccoons.
Couple years ago, I went out the basement door to fetch some firewood for the wood furnace. As I was about to gather the wood I glanced over the swimming pool and notice there was a big coon in the shallow end at the waters edge. I grabbed a small log and tossed at the coon to shoo it away - didn't hit it - but it was a VERY BAD IDEA.First time I've ever had one come at me growling (not trapped) and one of the few I've seen out in the middle of the day. All I had on was a pair of shorts, tennis shoes and my .22 SS I carry, felt a little "vulnerable" with my white bare legs:laughing::laughing:
