Ran across this coon today. I assume it's rabies or distemper maybe? Looked like it had been there a few hours. Wondering if I should call dnr? First time posting a video....hope it works. https://youtu.be/eeNa_w6jb1s
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

that thing is bad sick. Shoot it then build a fire and burn it

Dealt with a few racoons with what I THINK was distemper, wandering around middle of day in August, eyes a mess.
Health Dept kept asking exactly WHERE they were, was close to county line.
They wanted other county to deal with it.
No one came out. Dispatched, buried, bleached everything.
Had a skunk some years back acting the same, got in with my kids goats.
I shot skunk.thru lungs, gloved up, triple bagged and put on ice.
Called county health dept ( was on Labor Day).
Tech on call eventually called me back.
Bite anyone?
Nope.
You touch it?
Told her what I did.
You're good, just bury it. It's Labor Day!
Called friend in sheriff's office, tech called me back for directions, lol.
Turned out positive for rabies.
Unfortunately, caused all.kids' livestock to get quarantined,missed county fairs, had to pay for vets, etc
Now, I just shoot, shovel, and shut up.
And assume everything is rabid

They quarentine for a reason, to contain the disease to keep it from spreading. Going around it is putting everybody else's animals at risk!

Oh, I understand that, I worked on a rabies project decades ago. Just the whole, "Not my problem/ don't want to deal with it/ let me get back to my nap" gov attitude cheesed me off.

I shot it and left it laying. I did look at it's eyes and they looked fine...I mean not an obvious mess. Don't know what they could quarantine as it was about a mile from the nearest anything. It was about 30 yards from where I hang my treestand. I'm gonna hunt tomorrow evening so I might carry a shovel with me.
