I was bitten by a rabbid racoon about 20 years ago. I had come home from work and let my cat out and saw this racoon slowing walking and falling over towards me. I went in and got my 22 and went out and all of a sudden he was on me. Had some deep bites on myarms and finally killed it with my fist. Had it checked and it was rabbid and had to have painful shots in the stomach. I respect and like all animals but as a former trapper, you learn the ways of critters that don't seem normal
