OTOH, if you're a human encroachment into rural terrain; I'd say you
might want to cut the little critters some slack until they become
repeat & habitual or dangerous offenders. *They're pretty much like
any other pest - don't feed 'em & they'll go elsewhere.

That is the approach we've decided on. * *My kid saw the family on the
deck when the babies were young, in July, and this is the 'next' time ....
not really a problem. * But there were a lot of 'em, all 'big' and I've
heard tales od raccoon woes .. so I kinda freaked out beyond real need..
ah, thus far.

We've had coyotes in the back yard too, that I had to discourage when they
started eyeing my neighbor kid's 4H lamb from closer and closer distances.
I just discouraged them and suggested they look elsewhere for breakfast.
