We have caught them in live traps to try to relocate them and upon release you best get out of reach quickly. Finally got to a point we just 12 gauge them. Takes less time!
When We™ were still living in Sonoma County, Ca. and MIL™ was living in Riverside, Fl. we came to visit. Back then I was still able to play Golf. So I go to play one day and after hitting some balls near the range, I stepped on a rake in the trap, I got paired up w/a pair of local Fellas, who both were connected to the local School District as one was a Principal and the other a 5th Grade Teacher. The early morning heat is settling in as we start down the 1st Fairway. I pull my cart up to walk to the green and the Teacher says "If you have any food in the cart try and hide it or the raccoons will get at it" I reply "Raccoons? during the day? are they rabid? They're usually NOCTURNAL?" and He says "What does NOCTURNAL mean?"...
Imagine my chagrin as I was still perplexed putting on the 11th green...
Nocturnal. I bet it kept him up all night trying to figure that out. Education, a dangerous tool.
I was going to quip something cute like "That is why Hunab Ku equipped them with what appears to be a Yegg's mask..." but thought I may have got corrected not using 'an' prior to Yegg... You know the whole Y is/isn't type deal...
