The neighbors ring doorbell catches three of them going right down the middle of the street. It looks like they are going down to the little restaurant at the end of the road checking for dropped scraps. About an hour later they head back up the same way into the woods.

Hey Bill hope all is well my friend. Sounds like a classic example of trying to do the right thing and something you enjoy ( Watching and feeding the Wild life ) turning into a nightmare and keeping you up all night!  Keep in mind Bill once these animals expect something to eat, and don't find something they will end up being a little more mischievous, and that's the down side to feeding the wild life.

Oh and by the way, if they really start bothering you. You can always catch them and tickle their feet, that will scary them off for shure!

Take Care Bill.

There’s something about raccoons that makes them fun to watch. It’s like they have a different personality than the other wildlife.

It was really something. Normally I just dump the chicken bones out on the sidewalk and I don’t hear a thing. But that plastic container getting pushed around on the pavement started grating on my nerves. I won’t do that again! Lol

Yea I bet you won't, but you see the thing with Animals is once they are feed a certain location they will return and sometimes they will bring friends. Here is where the problems starts, once the feeding stops they will start getting into other things and they just become a pain in the rear end, so if you have not been feeding them too long you may want to consider stopping.

Peace my friend

Manwon - that’s true for city raccoons, but out here on the prairie the raccoons have a very short lifespan. Bobcats, foxes, barn owls, coyotes, and the occasional mountain lion are good at keeping the raccoon population under control. But you’re right: given the chance, raccoons can really become pests.
