Raccoon Gun


We've some raccoons come visit the trees in our years the past few weeks. One of them squared off with Bodie.. thankfully we saw it and got Bodie away before anything bad happened. As you may recall.. he got into a fight with a raccoon last halloween and it was an expensive and unpleasant experience for us all... so we are a little apprehensive about raccoons. 

When we saw Bodie and the raccoon in the tree, Doug got the hose to scare one or both of them out of the tree. The hose isn't super powerful and in the end it really didn't do much.  

Doug decided to make a high pressure "raccoon blaster" that will deliver a higher punch of water to a masked critter who chooses to come into our yard. If you know my dear husband, this should come as no shock to you...haha!




The kids helped him measure the distance of the stream at different air compressor pressures. "It's science!" HAHA!!

OK raccoons... we're ready for you!
