One got into my screened in back porch. It spazzed out trying to get out and did some damage. They also scratched the shit out of my car fighting their reflection. They’re all over my neighborhood.

Living wild like turkeys?

Had a friend whose family raised them when we were kids. About the most annoying animal I've ever been around.

Yes. That noise they make. Although one of them in our neighborhood is an albino.

I have a good friend that lived in Alaska for about 10 years. He told some story about fishing for King salmon, and then using those for bait for halibut. So he catches a huge king in the river, reels it in, and its a monster. He grabs it and picks it up, hears something and turns around.
Theres a kodiak bear standing there. He said he froze and with his arm still up, he dropped the fish. The bear sniffs him and then snorts in his face. He said his face had a coating of bear snot on it.
The bear looks down and grabs the fish, and just strolls off into the woods. Says he isnt sure if he took a breath the entire time, and thought he was going to pass out a couple times. " i didnt know, until that bitch was about 40 yards away, that I pissed my pants!" Is the way that story ended. He wasnt the type to lie, and I dont know how I would react, but fuck that!

this is clearly @AlaskaGuy and the entire story is bullshit except the part about him pissing himself.

AG is too scared to go outside. Can’t do much but repost tweets from his shack in the woods. Can’t vote, can’t be part of his upcoming civil war, can‘t work.

Haha. I think we were just messing with them, maybe. I just remember one chasing us, and we crawled through the fence quick

two weeks ago on my back fence. Neighbor snapped it. By then time I went to the back door to look he was standing right on the other side. He just walked away and jumped over to the next backyard. Was looking for the rabbits in our neighborhood.

See, now that looks like a bobcat. That one in the op was huge, a lot broader and much darker orange...almost rusty. It was a weird sighting.
 
Archie dog grabbed a raccoon scull on our walk tonight. The thing looked a little more snarly than the usual, and quite big, and I thought it might be something else. So, I looked it up and it's just a coon that grew old.

I never realized how much different a young coon's scull is compared to an old one...very different.

Skulls of aged and young raccoons compared. A sagittal crest develops with age and sutures become fused.
