This definitely seems like the type of coon that will feel right at home coming through someone's doggie door looking for food, or into their garage, etc etc.

I hate to say it, but that's just how it runs. Like Kanati said, even though it was friendly to you, if someone's little girl was playing in the back yard and that coon approached it, God forbid she'd get bitten.

Other than that regrettable wet blanket, REALLY COOL! Being a coon hunter myself (Treeing Walker Hounds baby!), I've had several rough times in the creek where I wish it would be that easy!!!
Definately the thought crossed my mind but the hunt was several miles from any homes and would have recked what was left of a good hunt.
