If they get aggressive toward the bird feeders, they can be a nuisance,
but, otherwise, we tolerate them. I have relocated a couple, using live
traps, and the city Animal Control Unit will trap them if they have
traps available.
I do prefer them to skunks, which also wander in around dark from time
to time.

Well shot, Jim. Do you regard raccoon as vermin or just another example of
your local fauna?

I looked out just before sundown and thought I had a large, strange cat in the
yard. Then it moved and I realized it was a raccoon, feeding among the
sunflower hulls beneath the bird feeder. After grabbing a couple of
documentary shots, I pulled out the Leica Telyt-R 250/4 and slipped back
outside. While holding that big lens steady at ISO 1600 was a chore, I got a
shot.
