I need 'em to eat the bugs in my lawn but understand the most effective option is a cross bow.........silent, deadly and accurate to 50 feet.

That's a BIG DOG buddy. What are the specs on Molly?
My friend's got the oddest dog combo yet: a 280-300lb English mastiff, and a ~25 lb weinerdog lol. Guess who's the boss of the house.

Also, Raycon #3 has been captured. I've become quite proficient in my trapping ability. If anyone else in my area is having issues, i'm happy to lend my gear. What you do with the captured varmint is entirely upto you.

She is a 2010 Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. 120 lbs pure muscle, 0-60 much faster than me, boatloads of torque (I saw a 105 lb Swissy pull a Jeep 60 feet, they are made for low end torque). I got the Tricolor option with high sheen coat.. I figured going with the short coat would make for easier maintenance, but it is still a pain to wash. Traction is provided by 4x4 Big Mother Paws.. Incredible grip, corners well. Exhaust is a bigger problem than with most econo dogs, but you learn to live with it. She runs on High Octane eukaneuba.. Occasionally I put in cheese or popcorn if she has been running well

Grats on capture 3.. Don't you just love the look they give you when you go out to get them?

I think we're over thinking this situation. Being that these masked criters are so advanced, maybe just a sign in the garden saying....NO RACCOONS ALLOWED ( also in French ) ...should do it !

Found the hole they dug under the wooden fence in the back yard to get in.
What's the best way to fill it in/ring the fence so they don't come back? (Short of burrying landmines under the fence to surprise them when they dig)

If you bury chicken wire under the soil it should stop them.. But you have to realize that they are smarter than all of us

Crafty little bastards.
Keep the garbage in the garage if you have one.
OR, buy a cheap CD player and put on a Celine Dion CD and let it run all night.
Raccoons look so funny with the tiny little paws over their ears.
Raccoons on the run.
They will be in the next county before God get`s the news.

Racoons can scamper over any fence easily and 2 racoons can kill any dog though apparently they will run first. One distracts, the other siezes the throat. Dog is toast. Coyotes do the same thing. Removal doesn't work because the pop density so so high new ones move into the territory right away. Removing all sources of food is the only thing I've found that works. This is tuff to do now that pesticides are illegal. They love lawn grubs.

Default Raccoons revenge

Ok,
So I gave a shot to the little SOB`s in my first post.
Thought it was funny. Give everyone a visual image of one standing on it`s hind legs, paws over the ears, Celine wailing in the background. Run away now, be gone.Ha Ha.
Now, I think I may have a bone to pick with one of our members.
Get up this morning, look out onto my deck and my **** garbage is strewn everywhere.It was in a sealed garbage can?
The little bastards could crack the safe at Ceasar`s Palace.
I want to know now who dropped a dime on me, ratted my out, tossed me under the bus telling them about my posting ?
And....if some writes. Payback is a bitch...I`m buying a Vette and screw you !

( Rant complete. )

Yep, found one of the little bastards living under one of our lawn chairs on the deck last night! He's getting some new drapery for his den made with amonia saoked rags tomorrow evening Once he's gone, so is his home...
