Soak bread in antifreeze.... put that by the birdfeeder just before dusk. They coons will come eat it and go back to their den and die. You don't have to deal with a big dead raccoon and you get rid of the raccoons.
And I'm a pretty big hunter and usually agree that anything you kill, you should eat or use in some way. But raccoons are just a varmit... get rid of them..
Start up the lawn mower break out the .12 gauge...rinse and repeat. Racoons are devilish creatures. They've been known to kill domestic dogs in a number of ways. They are good at knowing how to cut a dogs jugular without getting hurt. If there is a lake and they are being chased by a dog they will swim out wait until the dog gets to them then drown them. I'd rather my dogs fight a rattlesnake than a mother raccoon.

And if you're not vigilant they will come up behind them and shank them with pawmade knives made out of pine cones.

I was hunting with my dad and dog one year when all of a sudden I hear my dog yelping with its nose buried in a brush pile. We run over there and pull our dog back and there is a huge *** raccoon. I shot that SOB point blank with a 12 gauge. Our dog suffered some minor scratches on its face and that was it. If we had let them continue to fight, the raccoon probably would have ripped off our dog's face.
Damn small raccoon was in my bird feeder making a racket tonight. Chased him off and five minutes later he was back. Looked for something to throw at him and there was a golf ball on my kitchen counter and gave that a good sling. Just missed him but it hit the bird feeder (big racket, probably alarmed the neighbors who’s house is only 15 feet from the feeder). A couple years ago I threw a baseball at one and it bounced off my deck and right into the neighbors siding where it left a big dent…oops!
Anyway, looking for any deterrent advice from the CF community. I did go out tonight and spray some Liquid Fence (stinky rabbit/deer repellant) on the birdfeeder pole. I shot one Rocky after I trapped him in a live trap a few years ago but than I had this big dead raccoon to get rid of. That one had taken up residence under my deck and he had to go. Thinking BB gun or maybe a good paintball gun to pester the current marauder. Thoughts/suggestions?
I put a 7 inch galvanized duct pipe, bought at Menards for under $8 around the birdfeeder pole, 8 inch works better but cost more.. Coons can't get a hold of the galvanized metal to climb up the duct pipe, it is around 6 feet tall when stood upright. Solved my problem of coons raiding my bird feeders.
Now I have to move one birdfeeder with the duct pipe around it futher away from a tree to keep a squirrell from jumping from the tree onto the top of a birdfeeder. Previous squirrells would jump from the top of our solarium roof and fly spreadeagle onto this same birdfeeder, a previous move of the pole.
We have had up to 13 squirrells at one time feeding off the dropped birdfeed....we live at the edge of a forest,and keeping the deer from licking the birdfeed out of regular birdfeeders is a job in itself.

HONESTLY... do you people just want to **** around in PC mode... trap the racoon... take him into your garage and drop the cage into a water filled 55 gallon garbage container and then put it in a black lined large trash bag to dump into neighbor business's dumpster....... have watched 2 relatives go through rabies shots... kill the mofo !!!

NOW !!!
Surprised it got to page 4 before this came out. Raccoons are carriers for rabies, can get very fiesty(sp) if you come up on them with their young, destroy stuff they get in to.. There is really nothing good about a raccoon unless you're making a Daniel Boone hat.
I can verify the fly bait (malrin) and mountain dew will kill them within 10' of where they drank it, bread soaked in antifreeze as well. Kill it and git er done...
