Angry Raccoon Release

I found a nice spot to release our friend, the Angry raccoon. Though snarling and growling, you can hear his squeak of relief as he runs free.

how did you do that without beeing bitten

[Grimmloch]

@nickybrown4 By standing behind the trap and reaching over to the door. Very rarely will they turn around after the get headed in one direction, but it is still something I am wary of and I am ready to move quickly if need be. :)

You are a Poacher

@raccoonbootcamp Only of eggs, my friend. I was relocating him to a nice wilderness area from an attic he had taken up residence in. :)

At the time this was shot I was working for a licensed wildlife removal company. Good times.

@CelticSamoan I agree.  The trick is to relocate it at let 20-30 miles away, so it won't come back.

@Grimmloch This raccoonbootcamp character seems to be of these "raccoons have more rights than humans" types you occasionally encounter on the internet and elsewhere. I fully agree with what you did in getting rid of a problem animal, which is what raccoons are in a human area. If I saw a raccoon on my property I would gladly do the same thing.

THUMBS UP to you! :)

Very nice to see ppl let them go and live free. : )

It's good to see catch and release when, to a lot of people, euthanizing would just be easier. Kudos to you.

I had one at the edge of the front porch growling at me the other night. You wanna come get that one?

Adorable lil guy, glad to see catch and release in practice when it can be done safely.
