Caught 'it'...
Sara, after reading your post last night and after watching this raccoon eat bird seed beneath my feeding station from 6 pm to 8 pm last night (which is more than reason to trap it given that they are nocturnal animals) I reset the trap directly beneath the feeding station, sprinkled bird seed in a track towards the entrance of the live trap into the grass, sprinkled a trail right in and over the plate that shuts the trap door and we caught him about 8:30pm last night. I watched how it dug down into the grass for seeds and also watched it put its paw through the crate wire into the area where the food was located so think this is how they emptied the trap without getting caught. He was freshly caught and vicious. If you ever thought to think that raccoons are cute, don't. He snarled and snapped and growled at Jock when he tried to pick the cage up by the handle. Unless I miss my guess, we likely have an endless supply of these animals.It's spa-day for the Aussiedogs. Always welcome given the amount of hair they dispose of at this time of year around the house.
Jane, any further word from you on your bite?

Glad the critter wa caught;
If it was 8:30 at night he was most likely just starting out for the night. Ususally there is papa, mama, and the little ones, plus their dozens of cousins. Keep us informed on the future captures if there are any.
