Are you going to keep the coon for a pet ? I wonder how hard it would be to train to stay out of the trash
About 25 years ago back in my bar jumpin days this guy joe said lets go to his house and play some cards after the bar closed. About 6 of us go to a joe house i didn't know him ( everybody else did ) and we get the drinks going and moneys on the table. About a hour of playing joe said deal him out of a coulple hands he needed a bathroom break. Joe's in a wheelchair and rools off to the bathroom. We keep on playing and about 5 minutes after joes gone i feel something with claws grab tight on my leg, I jumped up on the back of my chair saying WTF and everybody's looking at me like ive lost my mine. 2 seconds later someone else jumps up saying WTH and the table cleared out with everybody looking under the table to see what we are going off about, And thiers two eyse looking back at us. A BIG azz coon, I mean about 30 lbs worth of coon. They start yelling for joe to tell him theres a coon in his house. Joe come rolling in with a big smile on his face asking what are yall yelling about, we tell him theres a coon in his house and he says "i know" with a piece of food in his hand holding it out for the coon. Coon walked up to him, Got on two legs and got the food from him like a pet.
The coon had walked up on his porch about a week before and they didnt try to attack each other, Next day he puts out some food for it. Coon comes back and eats the food so he kept putting food out everyday, In a coulple days he sits on the porch and the coon still comes back for food. About 5 days of the coon he's got the coon eating from his hand, About a week of feeding it he let it in his house and said the coon would just come in and wouldnt mess anything up so he kept letting the coon in. He thought we would get a KICK out of it. I don't know about the kick but my heart was in my throught when i seen what was under the table and had just grabed my leg

He didnt tell any of his friends about feeding the coon and they were shocked as me when they seen a BIG AZZ coon under the table. I didnt ever see joe again after that so i don't know what ever happined with the two of them.
