Wow, this is a long thread. No idea if it was mentioned before, but it bears repeating if so; in many states (Oregon included) raccoons are a protected species. They are considered a fur bearing species and so they need proper licensing and tags to kill (furbearers license). This is despite their prolific breeding, outright pest levels of population in various environs (like suburbs) and absolute zero risk to even heavy levels of hunting. I was super surprised to find this out, but the wife actually looked it up and sent me the ODW guidelines on it;
I am sure any discussions about "dealing with" problematic raccoons in this thread are pure fiction and internet boasting/BSery and have no basis in reality. Ya'll are liars and I don't believe a word of it.
