so new note to self, when doing any kind of work outside with pv, keep a bb gun or airsoft gun with me... dont think shooting regular firearm would be accepted well, especially in regards to a raccoon... but an airsoft/bb should still get the job done...
but it reminded me of a really funny story... so a few years back in the barracks i stayed in, when single... there was a raccoon that lived underneath said barracks building... well he became the unofficial mascot and people would feed him, etc... so anyways, animals on post are much more comfortable with people on military bases due to exposure, and well a buddy of mine decided one day he wanted to get a video... so there he is with billy (yes he was named, and even had a fb page made for him) tossing popcorn to him...
pulls out his iphone and starts to video tape it... gently tossing pieces to him, luring billy closer (yes very dumb and dangerous but billy "seemed" tame ish) finally he tried to get billy to take a piece of popcorn from his hand...
billy reaches out and takes a piece from him, he puts another and billy gets closer, and well finally billy reaches out for the phone, he freaks, billy runs the other way, phone drops... billy is gone... all in all priceless... lil guy got greedy...
LMBO! I'm in military housing at DLI. these guys are everywhere. They tend to stay away from us though.. except for this one. I asked the neighbors if they happened to video tape it, and unfortunately they didn't. They didn't realize he stole my PV though. They were asking me what that poor little raccoon did to me. HA! poor raccoon..
