We captured Raccoon #4 in our humane trap overnight.
We got our mail mid morning and drove out to the stream about 5 miles from the house to relocate him. I have a happy mental picture of him reuniting with Raccoons 1-3 and enjoying the rest of their lives together.
I’m amazed that he showed up since we had such horrendous weather last night. When my husband let him out, he just leaped happily into the stream and was gone in a flash.
I really wish we could all simply co-exist, sharing the bird seed we supply. We have learned the hard way, however, that raccoons don’t share. They want EVERY seed, and many times completely trash the feeders. We can’t afford to buy new feeders every other day, or buy more than a 40 pound bag of seed every week, so I’m just pleased that the humane trap we have captures them without harm and allows us to ‘relocate’ each one and give them another chance to be happy.
