Raccoon Problem

I put in a nice new sprinkler system at my place, and put down beautiful sod with my own hands at great effort, and then every few nights some evil little varmint would tear it up around the edges, killing it.  So I captured the little guy last night.  

Here is what I saw when I got up this morning.  Got him!  The trap is a "Havahart" trap, baited with dry cat food.  At first he was stealing the cat food every night through the SIDE of the cage, so I had to block the side with some netting and then I got him the very next day.

And here he is 10 miles from my house, being let out at his new home in the country.  I put out a bowl of water and some more cat food for him to get started, but he just ran off into the brush.
