7 to 10 of them every night, banging on my porch windows and door until I give them a treat.

Out in broad daylight like that you probably have a mother there. They had their little ones recently and the mothers come out early to get themselves some food.

She was quite large and if thats the case I am very glad I offered up the apple!! What kind of treats do you give them Robert?

Buddy
The five years before we left Oregon I raised many generations. I love Raccoons. They are so cute when their babies and the love mini-marshmallows!!
My sister had one as a pet when she lived in Colorado. It lived in her house, used a cat box and ate scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Marshmallows are an absolute favorite. Anything really, just don't give any chocolate. They love sunflower seeds too.

They become rather greedy though. If you start feeding them they'll never leave. Mine are leftover from when we used to rehabilitate orphans for NJ.

At night now it's funny, my wife and I will be watching tv, and we'll have 3 or 4 raccoons pressed up against the windows just staring at us until we come outside. It's almost like a horror movie.

One night last week one of the sunflower feeders was taken off one of its chains! I had a strong feeling it had to be a racoon, what else would have that kind of strength.
