i just seen a racoon

he was just chillen outside my back door & when he saw me he got scared & ran away.

he was cute

 

candid racoon moments such as that, are so great

 

haha, you scared a racoon. Now you gotta send Crummy a Balloonagram

 

Never seen a racoon, but I saw a beaver once, my first night in Sac and heard it having sex, I think

 

they got beavers in sac? my first week in VA I saw a muskrat.....

 

they really are!

that racoon was so big and fluffy, he made me smile

 

Every time I see a raccoon it's during the day and they seem to be walking towards me very fast and I assume they are rabid and they scare me.

Cute animals though.

 

never saw a muskrat in Va unless a muskrat is a skunk, I've never seen skunks anywhere but VA

 

noly shit, skunks have chased me in SoCal.....I have had to walk and hour aoutta my way because skunks was procreating....

 

dude, i see a squashed skunk on the road at least once per day.....

 

I see a skunk like every other day. I'm in MD.

 

that's gross. yeah, I'd see a bunch in Va, but nowhere else. Haven't been socal yet, though.

 

critters tend to do that. that's how they survive each other and why it's really silly the way some city folks are scared of the boonies.

i grew up seein all kinds of things but i don't mean that made me jaded at all. it still makes my day and allways will to see something like that.

our housecats used to kill rattle snakes and bring us 'gifts' of parts of them.

when i was up in oregon there was a raccoon that lived in a tree along the way and he would talk to me. he would never approach real close but he was friendly enough otherwise. just sensably cautious like it is good for people to be too.

there was another time, in eugene, where i met a girl who actualy had a raccoon on a leash.

skunks seem to be everywhere these days. i guess because the're survivers more then some other creatures. mostly creatures small enough to be able to hide well seem to survive human habitat encroachment. foxes are so good at hiding and so shy hardly anybody ever sees them, but i'm told the're there.

there's a family of skunks that eat the dry catfood my mom puts out on her back porch to feed the semi-farel cats she is always attracting.

where i grew up deer were something you saw all the time and had to be careful not to hit one crossing the road when you drive.

of course like the more sensible of humans they managed to stay well out of sight the first day of hunting season when all the dam drunk big brave hunters when out and shot, often as not, at each other.

oh we had fun growin up in the boonies. hell of a lot more fun then any city kid shootin hoops in an abondond warehous or whatever.

wish everyone could feel some of that somehow.

couple of old guys down by the river at the end of a seven mile walking only trail that wasn't physicly possible to do anything but walk, suplimenting their sociably security with a bit of gold panning, back when it was fixed at $32.00 an ounce, one there was a pine martin, half way shaired his little shack/cabin with him. this was way back in the 60s.

managed to see that one time i was down there visiting him.

always hoped i could be doing that when i got to be the age i am now
too many things chainged instead so far

ah but even here i did see that opposum i mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

and i live kind of next door to sacoftomatoes, in rosieville.

where i grew up was a bit further "up the hill" in colfax.

COONS?
Schools got COONS trying to get in?
My Moma used a broom on them when they come up on our back porch.

I am honestly shocked that this comment didn't immediately turn this thread into perversion.

Anyway, we get a lot of rabbits and field mice where I live. Coincidently, there are a lot of falcons and hawks flying overhead too.

 

my friend has a pet racoon. they found it when it was a baby and are trying to train it

 

Beavers are quite friendly, they like to be fed and pet often. Dont know much about coons. They bite and have beady eyes.

 

i know a broad named cassy koon. haha we call her the kooninator

 

Original.

 

can i come and pet it
