I think those people underestimate how mean a big 'coon can be if it’s cornered. I saw a video with one that fought off a fucking Cougar before, it was a young Cougar, I don't think it realized what it was getting into, fucked up its ambush and instead of leaving the already alerted Raccoon alone and going after something easier it tried to force it, Raccoon latched onto its nose, then its leg... it ended up getting chased off by the fucking Raccoon lol... a big Raccoon trapped in a small shed could have fucked Balldo up, shit I wouldn't want to try to kill one in a small space with a hammer and I grew up in the country, I got more sense than to try. You could get tore up, then you gotta get Rabies shots... no thanks.
