I live in Michigan in the middle of the state, but on the west coast, right on Lake Michigan. I have seen raccoons often, and never trusted them. Years ago, a huge one chased my wife and small dog inside, when she had him out in the dark, on a leash. I ran right up on the deck, and drove them inside. I have no doubt that it was rabid. A normal raccoon, like most wild animals, will not come to you, but rather avoid you.
I’m guessing that’s not Wisco Dave.

Coon humps dude's bare leg. Flea & tick transfer or junior coon checking out Biden's grandson's leg hair?
ReplyDeleteRabies waiting to happen. At least here in northern Michigan, coons are rabies machines.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the raccoon roundworm.

Yeah, can't say I'm gonna call a rabies machine over to me.
ReplyDeleteYep. Assume every raccoon is rabid. So said an animal control dude, and I believe his words.
ReplyDeleteHit it, hit it with a shovel, a stick, a rock, a flamethrower (my favorite) or something.
ReplyDeleteKeep the rabies-tick-flea-monster away from me.
