Close encounter

[goldnrod24]

I was launching my boat this morning and was standing on the trailer fender putting my phone on the dash. I felt something reach up and touch my leg. First I thought it was someone's dog running loose. I looked down and it was an effing raccoon!!!!!! I'll admit, I pooped myself just a little bit!

Thought you were going to say it was a........... shark..............

Next time don't launch at 1 am and they will be sleeping.

Nope, 10 a.m.

Lol !!!! I guess a little bit is better than a lot !!

I would guess it hangs out at the ramp & is frequently rewarded with food scraps from those who enjoy the novelty of the up close encounter.

He likely only wanted to let you know he was ready to eat!

I'd have it reported. If rabid that can be a BIG problem

Here's a read about daytime activity  .... probably not a worry unless he was aggressive.
