The raccoons near my place in the woods are HUGE this year. We saw a scurry near the garbage cans after dark. I said, "Holy *bleep* was that a small bear?!?" Hubby said, "No, I think it was a raccon, but WOW it was big. I'll be back with the .22," I said, "Maybe you should get the .50 cal- that thing was HUGE!" Even the porcupines are bigger this year. It makes me glad we spent the time to make sure the coop and run are secure with heavy-duty welded wire and a zapper. Good luck.
