To continue my wildlife adventures, came across this Raccoon, I think? but what seems to me a very light color?
It was hard to get a good picture because it was so high up the tree.
I swear I am not planning to rescue it

Nice ...

cool! iv seen pics of an albino coon taken in the Pinery.

As you say hard to get good pic . Could also be mange & /or bright sun combo making look light in colour . Luck

I haven't had the opportunity to harvest a blonde or albino coon, yet..... but photos of them are published fairly regularly in Fur, Fish and Game magazine.

Interesting, still a good picture even if partly hidden.

yep, a bit light, probably a one year old....they'll get a little darker with age, we have a bunch that are that colour around my place, makes the stripes on them look so much darker LOL. looks good though, nice coat. pretty healthy looking.

I would tend to go along with Ross. Any washed out coloured coons around us act sickly. We try to shot them before the dogs take them down.

Just read in my Ontario Out of Doors
magazine that there have been 70 cases of rabid raccoons in last 3 mths in Ont also a rabid cow near Stratford in January with fox strain . Previous 1999 -2005
132 cases . MNR says if you see a racoon acting weird call them . Watch yourselves & your dogs . Luck

Turkey hunting season starts Tues 25th . If your sitting with your back to a tree make sure ain't no racoon up tree lookin down to join you . Be careful out there .
