Recently my son and I were cleaning out my saddle shed and found three baby raccoons huddled in a bucket in a corner! I carefully poured them into a ‘havahart’ trap to quickly turn them loose out on the ground. I was going to call a friend thinking he might want one for a pet. My son, a Texas Game Warden, said NO! The law today makes it unlawful to keep a wild animal in captivity regardless of how it was acquired.
