If you trap him once and he breaks out, I doubt you'll get a second chance to trap him. If that is a 25 gallon can, you got yourself a big coon.

Oh my!!.....ya poor, deprieved individual!!.....in the coon hunting world a coon toothpick is a big status symbol.....there is an appendage on a male coon that has a bone in it....the slang of which rhymes with pick.....one of the very few animals that has one located there.....the bone is removed and sharpened to a point on one end and it is known as a coon d**k toothpick......kinda like a trophy of a big male coon........I really am not a big coon hunter per se, but I have seen a few of these being used, tho never had one for myself....

Usually see them in hatbands or on a lady's necklace or as ear decor.
For me, a status symbol is a Lamborghini not a piece of animal bone.
It's called a baculum and is not rare at all among mammals...far more have them than not.
The only mammal species without baculum are the humans,horses, donkeys, rhinoceros, marsupials, rabbits, cetaceans (whales and dolphins), elephants and hyenas.
The males having a baculus include but are not limited to : Fox, coyotes, wolves, raccoon, all bear, all other canines, all felines, most non-human primates, walrus, seals, all rodents, hedgehogs, otters, weasels, skunks, ferrets and squirrels.
I've seen displays in a museum somewhere, of baculum from several dozen different North American species.

I thought that was one of those TMI type topics but it was funny anyway.
Teresa needed some new shoes so we drove up to Columbia where there is some decent shopping. Our only shopping locally is a couple of mom & pops and of course Walmart but we prefer the drive to go to a shoe store.
While we were there we had lunch at a Hibachi - Mongolian BBQ type restaurant and had one of the best lunches we had in a long time. Calamari and sushi were also as good as it gets.
