Wait until they get to be 40 pounds and make a run at you. Better shoot them dumpster panda before they make your place their turf. Also stop leaving stuff they can exploit.

There's a old fellow on you tube I have ran across a few times I don't recall his username he has 10 to 30 at a time come up to eat on his deck as he has-been feeding them for some time obvious
I forget how many pounds of goodies he gives them each night but for the most part they all wait their turn to get there share With a ocassonal line jumper
I am on my phone so not good at linking I will find one of his post later and add a link on my pc to him

I just read a book on Custer. He loved having animal pets, and he had a pet raccoon that would sleep in his bed at night, much to the consternation of Libby.

Look, I'm drawing the line , when they start asking for Bourbon and cigars, after dinner!!!! I use to have pet racoons when me and my sisters were pre teens. One bit my sister and dad gave them a shot of lead poisoning. I can feed Rocky, but his three siblings won't come to me yet. I don't want to startle him eating out of my hands just yet, when the camera flashes. He is very timid, but getting use to me and knows I won't harm him. I know I really have to trap them and get them out of here, before they move into the attic. I just like seeing and talking to them each night. They are about four or five months old. I haven't seen mama, so I think they are now on there own. Going to give it a few more weeks and then relocate them. My neighbor does it for a living. His business is called, Critters Control. He said he will trap them and release them about an hour away, so they won't come back.

I predict you will not evict them until you deeply regret not doing so. Vicious, destructive, and clever demons.

"Release them an hour away." Someone elses "Problem."
Sorry, SSS.
Like the Cats climbing all over my Jeep, they will Go Away. Warned all the local Cat Owner's.
Not gonna see my investment deteriorated/damaged.

Ken, You have no idea how remote we are here. My house backs up to 1.1 million acres of pineland, know as the South Jersey Pinelands National Reserve. I could drive two hours through the woods and never see another house. Look it up on google. People around this country have no idea of the vastness of the southern part of our state. People hear NJ and think North Jersey, big cities and traffic and houses. You use to live here, you know how vast it is. They can find plenty of places to roam and avoid human contact. He takes them way back in the pines and drops them off. I don't want to kill them , I want to relocate them.
Rocky, You can read me like a book. I would let them stay, but wife says either relocate them, or she will bury them. 😥 Common sense will have to prevail this time. I will post a picture when they are leaving. I just love wild animals. They tug at my heartstrings. Oak

What I know and learned about the big pine forest watching that gangster show based in jersey a few years back the sopranos show
I liked the show and the girls of course
But it was a very course show and turned a lot of people off my wife was one
if not for every one getting knocked off at any given moment it almost had me wanting to be a crime boss ( just kidding )
Back to the story. Lol
when they took you on a drive to the woods you knew that you were never coming back .
Based just on the show how vast it was i could see it happening

We will never know how many bodies lay out there. I know quite a few, that have been discovered over the years. I know of at least a dozen just in our sleepy little town. The pines scare a lot of us, because it is so vast and so easy to get lost or turned around. Being lost and taking a look around, all you see is pine trees. Somewhat like Georgia, but only bigger .
AND NO, THe Jersey Devil is just a myth. But we do have a lot of bears that people mistake for bigfoot and the Jersey Devil. Speaking of the Jersey Devil, Have I ever told you about my Mother In Law???!!!🤣

The Pine Barrens. I saw Paulie and Christopher get lost out there, they were doing a hit on a big Russian gangster but he got away.
I had no idea y'all had such big stretches of forest there in Jersey.
Long ago, we had a forum member named JoeAF1911. He lived in New Jersey and fought across Europe in Patton's army. Joe described himself, in the war, as a "dogface." He and his wife had a dozen "pet" deer that came into their yard and they fed them corn and apples.

That eposode of Sopranos was filmed in Harriman State Park,NY.
My Military Clique had a favorite place we overnighted at called the "Stockbridge" Shelter on the AT. We went there repeatedly. Coming from all different direction after work and hiking by Headlamp & Snowshoes at times.
I was the last coming in that night. Rounded a curve and there were flashing lights everywhere. I thought it was a roadblock and I was about to get busted. (Had some smoke on me for the overnighter, as we all would/did.)
Anyway, pull up and was told, "They are fiming an Episode of Sopranos and "the Park was Closed." Fake trees in the road, it was surreal. We went back and forth and I told them they did not have the Right/Authority to "Close a State Park and AT access." Back and forth. I was finally allowed to pass, when the State Trooper saw my NY/NJ Search and Rescue plates and window decal.
Parked my 4x4 and hiked back through their mess head for the AT and my friends. As usual, we had a great time and lots of laughs. A lot at my expense when I told them what I had run in to. 🤔😉😂🤣😆
*As @Oakie, has stated, a lot of people are completely unaware of the large tracts of Woods in certain areas of NJ. Parts of it are beautiful. Where I am talking about is Extreme NW NJ. very close to the NY Border. The AT runs right through there. I lived in a 1947 Chestnut Log cabin on Greenwood Lake NY/NJ. (West Milford, NJ.) I could throw a rock from my back yard and get it in to NY. We were literally right on the Line. You'd swear You were in the Mtns of NC/TN.

Maybe I've lived out West too long, but I used to get a titch claustrophobic when I visited relatives in New Jersey. Trees arcing over every road like tunnels; can't find a horizon in any direction. And not a mountain in sight to tell directions. Spooky.

New Jersey is a beautiful state.. You guys get a bad rap because of the north eastern cities. I haven't seen all of Jersey but I have seen some of the beautiful and some of the not so beautiful and the beautiful far out weighs the ugly

My door is always open!!!! Also, Ken is right. The Soprano's was not filmed in NJ. The stupid show called Jersey Shore, well that was filmed up in North Jersey and all the people in it, were from NYC, Not NJ. I guess that is why everyone from NJ hates that show. We are more like people from NC or Maryland, in our ways and mannerisms.

You have then, been to the wrong (overly developed) parts of NJ. Like all States, it has hidden gems, if you know where to look.
I would not want to go back, due to the Politics and anti-2nd Amendment stance, but I Loved where I lived. There probably was not one night, that I was driving alongside Greenwood Lake, with Mountains all around headed towards my Cabin - that I did not say out loud, how Beautiful it was there.
If you have not experienced those places, you will never understand.

I took a load to Camden once in the 18 wheeler. Bad. Horrible. Half the city looks just like this.
A month later my dispatcher told me he had a Camden load for me, I told him to find another driver, I would quit before I went back to Camden. He found another driver.

My grandparents lived in Pittstown, near Clinton. Their house was laid down when Ben Franklin was still alive. Beautiful farm, now listed as a heritage farm. My last aunt - youngest of 13 children - died two years ago. I have cousins there but we don't communicate. I'm not going back.

Raccons are a big detriment to all wildlife. And a fresh stand of sweet corn.
They will wipe out quail, turkey, and most any young nesting animal.
Folks around here use to hunt them to near extinction but the "next" generation has lost it way and the trash pandas are everywhere.
Remedy, SSS.
