She's really the one that shot Osama bin Laden, you can tell me. I could tell by the look in her eyes.

I asked to borrow Adam's mother... Until that can be arranged I might just try urine. Wolf?

 

[dmaxAl]

Urine is only effective if an animal can associate it with a local predator.
Never seen a wolf in the city, but there a plenty of cougars.

 

[originalsturge]

Not in my neighborhood.

We've had a marmot and plenty of other odd apex creatures (have you see those little bipedal things, eeek) and this is an effort I can do myself at the moment. Can I buy online? Will you barfErs ship?

 

[slowblood]

Try Ellis Act?

 

[asthmodeus]

Homie will tangle with them but I won't let him anymore, he gets too messed up. He's finished off two.

wow. just plain fucking wow.

dog kibble soaked in tabasco or other hot sauce and a bowl of tequila next to it

Try Ellis Act?

Now that's just inhumane

[storm]

[storm]

I haf a certain set of skills....

You know, this could go so many ways...I'm already laughing and you haven't even done anything yet...but with the shit river and the Epsom salts, what could go wrong?

I had a similar problem with a raccoon using a tree in my backyard as a communal restroom. I planned on shooting it with a pellet gun, but could never catch the fucker in the act.

One night, my lady came home around 2am and called me to tell me there was a dead raccoon on our driveway. I'm guessing it got hit by a car and hobbled its way onto my driveway, or it got into a nasty fight with another animal. I want to thank whoever/whatever was responsible, though I would have loved the satisfaction of getting the little bastard myself.

Anyhoo, I tried a few methods of repellent (cayenne pepper, urinating around the area) and those didn't work. Was too lazy to set a trap, though I'm sure that would have worked. Good luck getting rid of those pesky creatures.

Ammonia helps, but not enough to keep them away completely unless you like the smell too. I can tell you from experience that BB guns and pellet guns don't do anything to them, but a crossbow might. They used to break the wire mesh screens to get under the house in HMB and nest down there, so we just kept getting stronger and stronger screens and soaking rags in ammonia and leaving them stuck in the screens and that stopped them from going under the house but not from roaming the backyard and such.

You put the ammonia outside of the dwelling where they eneter from.

 

[afm199]

wow. just plain fucking wow.

They used to live in my back yard. He caught one and killed it. Then he caught one in a bush on a walk and killed it. You try getting a 73 pound Pit Bull to let go of a 20 pound racoon some time. Please. I did once and won't again.

Oakland has many many racoons.

Now I won't let him go outside in the evening without making some noise first. That's when they roam. However they don't roam my backyard any more, it's been racoon free for quite some time.

No, he's not trained to hunt racoons, nor do I hunt them for sport. Homie also finished off the woodpile rats.

 

[fawndog]

Get a croc to live under the house, bad neighbors and rodents will simply vanish !

Ps I had one soak up a 22lr and just run off :wow

 

[mean dad]

...hunting animals...help a beautiful woman...play operator in mah yaaaaaard.

Are they consistent on when they start getting active at night? Can we narrow our window of opportunity to an hour or so, to minimize time spent laying with my sniper rifle in a pile of dog feces to mask my smell, while my recon team infiltrates their den and befriends their leader?

I was going to call bs, but I see I have some allies in that department. :laughing

ahem.

I aint sayen we used the pellet gun
but ones dead and we used the pellet gun.

A bb gun might not do anything, but a sweet Crosman semi-automatic air rifle with scope and 12shot clip certainly would. Besides, I dip my pellets in rattlesnake venom.

 

[planegray]

cut out some glue traps into the shape of a gun, when they exit the house with the traps stuck to their paws; call the LEO's :thumbup

that's cool- your wording kinda implies you used to sic the dog on raccoons...and i'm no raccoon rights keyboard warrior, i meant that they fight like filthy little knifing gangsters- one of the tricks they pull is to roll under the attacking animal jiu jitsu style and try to bite some holes in their dick apparently knowing that a lacerated urethra will eventually kill the dog or at least put it out of commission in great pain for some days. the bigger ones can eviscerate most dogs using the same dirty bjj guard pull.

actually now tho, your wording on this one implies that you have a pit bull that you aren't really in full control of
