Raccoons have a relatively high incidence of rabies. You might want to get your Z vaccinated.

Remove the angry bird. Cut off the raccoons tails and hang them there instead so other raccoons know what you're capable of....

First animal hit with my Z was a possum. Stupid thing was 90% across the road, paniced and turned around to run right into my bumper.

This poor thing was maybe a foot from the white line on the other side of the road.. a foot from safety.. and turned around and ran right into my bumper! I don't think I killed him though, I think I just violently shoved him in a random direction.
