Raccoons in PHX

[XJThrottle]

They are next on the meat list.

If the cat ladies in this 'hood keep it up...my hounds might find a fondness for trash panda and gutter turkey..

Lol!

To further on with the legality of this...I sent an email to AZGF about sub section G.

Their reply was what I was looking for. I specifically mentioned pigeons, but I imagine racoons might fall under the same sugggestion as they aren't specifically managed by AZGF.



If you search the AZGF web page, it also says that racoons are one of rew species that can legaly be hunted at night!

I had them near Tatum and Greenway. They were never a problem though. Never even got in my trash by my grill.

I have a friend in the Arcadia district and he h as a huge family of about 7 that raid his chickens and guinnea birds (spelling) they kill more than they eat

A pellet gun can drop one especially if you're using a decent 22 one.

A whop from a shovel works real good if you can get close enough. Lot of experience with them and possums from back in Ohio. Possums are a bit more of a pain to take care of. They just don't know when their dead.

Not quite Phx Metro but there is a large population at Tempe town lake. I have mainly seen them on the SE side of the lake.

Use a live trap or dog proof coon traps baited with marshmallows. You won't get many unwanted animals using marshmallows and coons love them.
Fish and fish scraps work well in live traps but will attract other animals as well.

I'm not sure about AZ, I just moved here. But some locals have laws about where you can release trapped animals. Might wanna contact fish and game and double check first. CYA and all that.

Coons are vermin. If you ever see what a coon will do to a litter of kittens or a coop full of chickens, you wouldn't think about releasing them. Just dig a hole for them.

If you search the AZGF web page, it also says that racoons are one of few species that can legally be hunted at night!

Trash pandas in their natural habitat!

 

[OH-MAN]

Just sayin I live near skunk creek and while sniffin them many times I have never seen one.
I understand they like the night but middle of the day a big ole whaff floats over the hood.
I do not think it is skunk weed because it has been so often.

These guys are outside my back door right now eating up what's left of the garden. If they are still around January 1st I might have to get an archery tag. A month ago there was a skunk outside that put a little spray on one of my dogs. We had give him a good bath

There was one of those spotted in my neighborhood in Gilbert yesterday. Not much I can do about them in town.

 

[Suck My Glock]

They're taking over!!!!

I know they used to be in the orange groves in E Mesa. My grandpa worked irrigating the groves and washed them out of pipes more than once.

This was near 43rd Ave & Greenway a few years ago. Attracted by cat food on a table on the back porch. My bad. Only saw it this one time and put the food away at night after that.

I knew someone who trapped them near Moon Valley and released them in the desert north of Phx where they become coyote food.
