I have so many raccoons now that if there is a single peanut in the glass the table ends up across the yard, so i have the small metal ground feeders now, birdseed on one side for the ducks and birds and one on the other side for peanuts, not as cute but less hassle.No squirrel picnic table at the new digs?
Rest and hydrate!Good day all! Flu'ed. Stumbling around and finally dragged my sorry butt to the smoking room and put fire to a bowl of 4th Generation Family Reserve in a trusty Savinelli Autograph straight-grain Dublin half-bent with saddle stem. Delicious. Now back to bed with pipe dreams (and aspirin).
Here that’s target practice! In my neighborhood they live in the storm sewers and if seen in the daytime are stumbling about in a not so good way - I’ve had to modify my feeders to keep them out and the healthy night dwellers are welcome to feast on whatever they find elsewhere. Years ago my wife’s wonderful but too early departed mother had issues with raccoons being attracted to remains of grease, etc. the f-in-law was too lazy to clean up around their grill. She put out a healthy portion of hot red pepper flakes and awoke to sight and sounds of a mama and little ones screaming their little heads off! Of course, she felt guilty and never did it again, but this pic reminds me of her and that fun story!Some 2018 CRF in the new meer while mr raccoon showed up and is disappointed that i haven’t put out his lunch yet so took care of that.

Already did the research and talked to the local wildlife people, in this area there is a fairly large population so when they find a spot with food (or people that feed them regularly) it's not unusual at all for them to come out during the day to eat, they are actually out at all hours even though you tend to see them more at night because they feel safer. I'd be crushed if one of these little guys got rabies and had to be put down, that being said i do keep an eye on this one and his health and behavior.Here that’s target practice!
