I find this hard to believe, but we just returned from relocating raccoon # 11.
I think the previous record for a season was 5, so this is really incredible.
I hope we never meet the people who live close to the little creek off the side of the road where we ‘rehome’ the raccoons. It’s about 5 miles out farther into the country. We can’t SEE any houses around there, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any.
I concentrate on thinking happy thoughts of all of the raccoons high-fiving each other when they meet along the creek, re-establishing their relationships and having a happy raccoon life…
Meanwhile, we continue to hope that this is the last one for the season. We’ve just filled up the bird feeder again. We’ll check it before bed. If it’s empty in the morning, the humane trap will again be set.
