We caught a racoon in the road when we where kids. It was walking around at 3 in the afternoon. We scooped it up with a striper net and threw it in a pheasant cage. We later called the deep river dog warden. He came right out with a .22 asked if the dogs had gotten to it. Nope. He shot it in the head. Once you shoot them in the head they cant be tested. Im sure if encon or the dog warden wanted to deal with it they could have. Dont forget we only have a few wardens on duty.
