I am carrying this on from another thread about damaging critters:
" I just looked at my trap & there's another racoon in there (11:30pm). I really hate this! It's late & I can't do anything till morn."
Normally, they don't hit this early. When I looked out, I saw - I think MAMMA, circleing around the cage/trap trying to figure how to get her baby out. Same thing happened 2 weeks ago...momma came right up to my patio door & actually stood up to look in the windows!!! She went away then like she did now.
This is a smaller one (same as last) compared to momma who's back is as high as the trap!!
I wonder if I''ll catch her. How many more of them? I really don't like this!!
Once, last fall, I left a squirrel tied up in a plastic bag on my back deck & forgtot to put it in garbage. =Next day it was gross. The bag torn open & guts all over. A farmer friend said the racoons did it. Mkes me wonder... what if I fell asleep on deck...would they try to eat me alive????!!! I'm afraid to go out at night!! Esp now w/ baby in cage/trap. I'll wait till am.
