Diana's Raccoon Relocation Program - Post 3


I've Become a Relocation Specialist!

I'm 7 for 7.
I have been setting the Have-A-Heart trap every night for 7 nights and every morning there is another raccoon waiting to be relocated to the remote BLM wilderness.
I feel like a mountain woman!
In networking with my neighbors, I have learned that there were about 13 raccoons following a route from Fran's home where they drink water from her stream. They pass down the road to the giant oak along Kaweah River Drive near the Edison Power Plant where they feast on acorns and shred branches which drop in the road. From there they make their way across my neighbors footbridge and then across the fence at my home and onto my roof.
Each night I can hear the click of the trap as it closes on my next catch. In the morning before dawn I load my car with the trap and head out to the remote wilderness. Once there, I set out some food, open the trap and set them free. They do not seem to be any the worse for wear, and by now they should have quite a community going and not be lonesome at all.
I expect that I may have quite a few more relocation opportunities before the relocation project is complete. Last night was our first night of quiet with no varmints running around on the roof, yea!!!
In real estate there are offices that specialize in various kinds of real estate including "Relocation." I can now honestly say I have had more relocation experience than any other agent in Three Rivers.
