So the cat wakes me up at 2 AM this morning again. So I get up and am doin computer stuff and I hear the cat batting at the window. I turn around and the only thing between my cat and a Racoon is a Double pane sliding glass door. They were both tryin to get each other. This racoon also has a stump for a tale. I figure someone is feeding this racoon cause he is not afraid of me at all, I just want him gone...

Looks like a cute little critter.  You should have opened the door and invited him in.   :D

It sounds crazy, but it seems to work...

Leave a radio on outside turned to talk radio or sports radio or something like that.   Not loud enough that your neighbors can hear it.   ;)    A couple of my friends and my MIL have done this, and the voices seem to scare the critters off.

On another note, You got a nice dam deck  ;D. I thought the coon was inside and the cat was outside for a split sec  ;D. Hey, its 7 in the morning.  :P

I'll try that, I have a stray cat that I feed and he sleeps out on the deck but his food bowl is never left out at night or longer than it takes for him to eat. Thats what the little green round mat is where he eats, the Racoon probably smells sumpin there. I've been out there in the Morning sittin on the deck and that Coon will sneak right up on yah and scare heck out of me and he wont even back off, I have to retreat into the house.

Sounds like he is getting a little too cozy around people.    You might have to trap and relocate..




..... to Spokane, perhaps.

The radio trick does work for wild ones but with that pest being not afraid of humans I dont think the radio will work.

You will most likely have to trap that thing, call the humane society they will do it for ya.

I would say a PSE compound bow would do the trick

A .22 will take care of it. I love grilled coon.
Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Yep, a well place .22 slug will solve that issue.

I've eaten BBQ coon too.  It's good.

1/2 half can of fly bait mixed with a regular can of Coke or Pepsi will do the trick quite well.

It's a poison that attracts flies and quickly kills them.  Search "Golden Malrin" or "Fly Bait".
