Yes they are. Shooting them is the only practical way to deal with them.

Not in Edmonton or Calgary.
They seem to be much more of a problem in Ontario, I remember the neighbour in Ottawa complaining about them when I was there many years ago. They aren't indigeneous and are slowly infiltrating. Not enough coyetes obviously. |

As it happens we do have a Ruger .22, not sure of the model but it's adequate for racoons, porcupines, possums and all the rest. It wont do for a horse but we have a handgun in case that need ever arises. We aint in Camden no more.

Re: Rackoons!
Downtown Vancouver has lots of raccoons, especially in Stanley Park where tourists like to hand-feed them crap! :eek:

Re: Rackoons!
In New Brunswick, Raccoons are frequent visitors to the whelbourn backyard in the summer and autumn. Red squirrels are tame visitors taking peanuts from your hands.:)
Jules has found a couple of snakes while gardening :ohmy:(perfectly harmless) and I bumped into a skunk and managed to get back behind the garage before it sprayed:blink: We had a bear in the back garden and turned over our composter but disappeared later. |

Are they common over there? A friend of mine had a funny experience with one, when it jumped over a table and pinched her sandwich, just as she was taking a bite out of it! :eek:
