Is that pile from a Raccoon?

37chief · Jul 8, 2015

I saw a Raccoon hanging around my place last week. He might still be here. Do they usually hold up their poop until they can make a big pile. Either that or I have a pig coming to my place to take a dump. They usually go in the same place every time. Stan

They seem to like to drop the doolittles in the same spot, and seem to like to do it off a ledge. I have a spot in the upstairs of the corn crib the they turned in to an outhouse.

A raccoon can poop as much as a 40lb dog.

I caught and disposed of a 45 lb racoon about 5 years ago in my sweet corn patch.

Wow, I've been feeding raccoons for years and I've never had one bigger than about 15 lbs.

I have a co-worker who gets a lot of human hair clippings from the local hair stylist and puts them in his sweet corn patch. He swears that the scent from the human hair keep the coons out of his corn patch and he never has a problem with the coons cleaning out his sweet corn. However, a few years ago, my brother stopped combining for the night and left the window to his combine open. The next day he comes out to his combine, opens the door and there is a big pile of coon manure right in the middle of the combine seat. I guess there is at least one coon in the world that isn't afraid of the human scent.
The funniest part of all this is that my brother is a coon hunter and has about 10 coon dogs. Perhaps this one coon was giving him payback for all problems he has given his brothers and sisters.

Evidently they don't do it where they live and sleep.

Had some get in my camper trailer. They got in the bathroom and shredded the TP that was under the sink, chewed ALL the insulation off the heat ducts and water heater, made a horrible mess, but not one sign of a dropping, no smell. Guess they were self house trained!

50 coons in a years time.They are about the worst animal you can have hanging around get into everything.

State park caught and destroyed 1006 last year. This year you can't tell a difference. There are just as many on the road and trails.
