    ...now what the hell do I do with it? Eat it? Waterboard it? Bring it in for pizza and beer?

    I've been fighting this thing for almost a month. He gets into a small space in our attic that is completely unreachable both inside and out. There's about a 8"x8" opening that he comes in that's barely even visible. First I block the opening, he rips it out. Then I spend 4 hours blocking it with an impenetrable wall only to find out later he was still in there. Doh. He laughed at the traps I borrowed from the humane society and waltzed out of them with my delicious treats. Finally I borrowed a heavier duty trap and baited it with marshmallows. After three days of nothing, I heard a clank about 20 minutes ago. Finally got that bastard!

    I'll probably go release him at our property down the road away in the morning unless someone has a better idea. :D

    Raccoons love seafood. Maybe stop at Acme oyster house for dinner and beer, then let him go off 1088... unless of course there's someone you really don't like. Then let him go in the back yard after you cover the door knob w/ marshmellow cream...

    That's the plan so far (Hwy 1088) minus the Acme part. :D

    Can't bring myself to hurt the son of a bitch, I'm a sucker for coons. I had them as pets when I was a kid. I actually just caught myself wondering if he'd be okay outside in the cold tonight. Maybe I could put a blanket in the trap... :rofl:

    Dude, screw letting him out of the trap. That dude will chew your leg or hand off.

    Last one I caught met his demise at the end of a .22.
