Good morning Michael, or good afternoon or day or whatever it is when you read this - What I don't get is how can anyone relocate them without trapping them? They have to be caught somehow, unless you are hoping for a raccoon pied piper? Hav-a-hart traps don't injure them, they have a gate and when the animal goes in it can't get out. I have no idea whether the babies would flee if the mama was trapped, but if you caught the mama and not the babies, just let the mama back out again, there's a release latch on the top of the cage. And then transfer them to a bigger cage, like for a big dog, and then carry them all in the back of a truck to somewhere else. Or if you don't want to relocate them after all, then just do what you're doing. What am I not understanding? havahart.com havahart.com

A wonderful post. Pure Michael. Drink and post more often. I've missed your creative outpourings. The answer is obvious. These are your raccoons, for better or worse. I know nothing about raccoons. Will they- when grown- go out into the world? Or will they stay at home with you, a benevolent god who sets the salmonmanna out each night? Will you soon have an entire raccoon city in your back yard? I'm surprised that you actually thought the government would have some reasonable, helpful solution. But then I am bitter- AMmo and I are about to try- AGAIN- to get his learner's. Monday, we learned that you have to finish the testing at the same office you told Austin you were starting the process of teaching your child to drive. So we are heading back to the place that shows movies and has a two hour wait. And probably won't get it again for some other obscure bureaucratic regulation. How do people who can't read get licenses? People without advanced degrees? People with IQ's under 200? I bet Marilyn vos Savant didn't get her license on the first trip. It's a wonder there is anyone on the road. ALthough admittedly, I am really, really bad at paper stuff and following directions; I get confused and flustered easily, especially when confronted with a sadistic clerk.
