True story. Last night I'm sound asleep dreaming what Sith's dream. My wife wakes me up with the I hear something outside. Only it wasn't just outside it was on the roof. She thinking somethings up there I'm thinking it's the wind. Once I'm finaly awakes I hear some scratching on the roof. I grab my flashlight and my trusty 5 wood,and head outside. On the far side of my house where my neighbors at I see him. This big fat racoon is sitting on my roof looking at me. This sucker looked to be the size of Pit bull.

So I'm on the ground looking up at this racoon on my roof (with the 5 wood in my hand, advantage frosty.) I look around to find something to throw at him, So I pick up a rock and throw it at him,caught him in the side and he runs to the backside of the house I think he's gone. I live on the corner, so as I am walking back to the street side of my house to my patio door, I look up to be greated by mr racoon sitting on the awning above the door. It's 3 in the morning I dont have time for this crap. So Just like on that long par 3, out comes my trusty 5 wood, I swing at the racoon and he scampers away...Right back to the spot I originally chased him from. This crap went on for another 2 rounds before he went away for good. Its now about 3:40 and I get up in 2 hours. I finally get back to sleep thinking what the hell is a racoon doing in Detroit.

Where the fuck are they supposed to live? lol

Humans expand their habitat into habitats that existed long before humans came along.

Raccoons live in cities everywhere in the MidWest/Eastern regions.

Plus, they are nocturnal which is why you have probably never seen them.

Shit, I saw a raccoon dip into a sewer drain located in an urban neighborhood when I was a kid.

I'm not suprised racoons are in Michigan and I know how urban sprawl has taken over there natural habitat. Point is I dont want the bitches on my roof. Also I can better understand if I lived in novi or sterling heights the outskirts, but here in the city. All I know is bitch better not come back or Ima get mid-evil on his ass. Cut him up put hm in a pot of greens.

Actually one time I was sitting out on my patio with some classic jazz playing in the back, some henny and a cigar. Nice summer night just chillin. Then from around the corner comes this fucking skunk. I'll admit at this point I ran in the house like a bitch. All that was going thru my mind was the image of pepe le pew, holding his tail firing off shots like it was a tommy gun.

Lol darth i live in flint, mi and 2 raccoons had actually moved in our attic. They would come home drunk from the club and start scrappin with each other. But recently we havent heard from them lately so they must of found a better job.

If you saw one, there prolly is a family of them close by. It can be a bear to get rid of them too once they settle in.

100% truth !! Raccoons have been known to fuck up dogs and cats. They leave nasty wounds and scars plus the threat of rabies.

Shit, I'm with you Bro, I ain't never seen a raccoon, skunk or any woodland animals in Detroit (East Side 7 Mile). When I finally left Detroit and went to Missouri I saw these lights flickering in the sky all around me, I thought I was going fuckin' crazy. It was fuckin' fire flies, never seen anything like it before. We just don't see shit like that in Detroit.

Get serious.

I live in the City and there's raccoons, possums (sp?), and rabbits. Hell, the east side near the river has pheasants.

I even heard of coyotes in Lathrup Village.

I grew up in Detroit. Lived on Outer Drive near 6 Mile. This is not joke. There was a deer in my back yard. It was jumping fences. We also had raccoons. Don't be surprised by what you see in the city.

My dog used to kill possums all the time in our backyard. I stayed on the eastside Outer Drive/Whittier until about a year ago. Now i'm in out in Farmington and EVERYTHING seems to be on steroids out here! Every deer looks like that big mofo that rescued Bambi, the skunks are everywhere, the possums and raccoons are as big as medium sized dogs. And for some odd reason they seem to love racing with my back tire when i'm driving...

Shit, back on Boston we dealt with not only Racoons, but also Possums and Skunks. It's like animal planet in the North East :smh: , but I gotta admit, since moving to the upper-midwest, I ain't see much of either.

Peace!

My girl has had a raccoon chillin in the concourse of her apartment SINCE THIS PAST SUMMER; the fuckin neighbors leaver there garbage outside for 2-3 days at a time and that fucker comes in a night and goes to town. Since the first time I saw it this summer (was walking up the stairs talking on the phone, looked up and that fucker was about 4 feet from me and I damn near fell down the stairs tiring to get away) that thing has gotten MASSIVE, easily the size of a small dog.

I tell my girl follow my lead, he aint fuckin with you, don't fuck with him.
