I believe the raccoon on the deck was checking things out for the safety fa=
ctor before bringing the five young out for the foray.

When I lived on Murray Hill Drive in Dartmouth a few years ago, we regularl=
y had raccoons up in the deck, drawn I think by the enticing scents from th=
e barbecue.
They will attack when cornered, or feeling like they are. What a shame your=
friend had to undergo that - sounds painful.
Cheers,
Joanne

Subject: [NatureNS] First outing for raccoon young
On the evening of July 5, my better half went out to have a smoke and I hea=
rd a scream. I ran out to see what was happening and there was a raccoon u=
p on the deck. It was very brazen as they seem to be with no fear. It eve=
ntually left the deck. I went out with the flashlight as I had heard noise=
s coming from the direction of our shed. Earlier in the day I had heard so=
unds of raccoons fighting. These sounds were also coming from the shed. I=
had also heard noises from within the shed. There is a hole in one of the=
floorboards and I figured maybe a porcupine or something else had gotten i=
n. When I flashed the flashlight I could see ma raccoon and then five sets=
of eyes peeking out from under the shed. Eventually five young raccoons c=
ame out to join ma and off the truddled, which I assume was their first tim=
e out with ma. They followed after her in a line after she reined them in =
and scolded them.
