    Quote: I'm sure you've heard this already regarding bear scat - they tell you to wear bells to keep the bears away, to carry pepper spray, and be really careful if you see Grizzly scat. How do you know it's Grizzly? Easy - it smells like pepper and has little bells in it.

    Drunk raccoon

    Like said above - the raccoons start getting more active as Winter arrives, but still, if he's hanging around and acting wierd in the middle of the day, it's probably not the apples. Time to shoot, or if you can't shoot, trap and drown.
