The first one I kill with a three-point death strike to the meridian chakra, stopping it's heart instantly. The second one I daze with my Ultra-Mag flashlight, and then sit on it while it's momentarily stunned, but only to pin it and not crush it. This will give me ample time to take the first raccoon and, after saying a prayer to the gods to send it's spirit to rest, skin it and use it's bones to fashion into a knife. I will continue this tactic of stunning, pinning, and skinning until I have created a full set of raccoon leather armor and a raccoon bone katana. I am now capable of fighting the remaining raccoons all at once using my mastery of kenjutsu.

Seriously though, just become friends with the first raccoon, the others have to wait forever for their chance to fight you.

Pretty simple premise. If raccoons lined up one by one to fight you, how many in a row do you think you could take before they raccooned you to death? Personally at my current cardio state I think I could take a dozen raccoons before one got me in the jugular, but that is just a guess. Never personally fought a raccoon so hoping to get some raccoon fighting expert opinions ITT.

Edit - My bad on not having a poll, but imagine a bunch of options that say "goku"

You dumb gently caress. Racoons are as strong as wolverines and have opposable thumbs. A friend of mine works pest control and he says they'll tip the collar sticks right out of their hands.

My guess is you'll underestimate your first racoon and that'll be the end of you.

I feel like I could punt fifteen of them before getting a little tired or rolling my ankle. At that point, we go to the ground. Eventually I'm going to cheat a little and begin using one of the dead raccoon's bodies as a weapon. Given the fact that raccoons all magically disappear before the sun comes up, I think I could last until morning.

As long as they come at me one at a time, I can go all night!

i felt like this was an endless "rancor" situation, so in my case i think it would be around 10, where i could kill one, use it as a weapon on the next one, then dual wield, then eat dead raccoon, then use raccoon projectiles, so on and so on, then feel bad, succumb to rabies, accept my fate.

every 3rd raccoon I would just break it's legs and let it lay on the ground for a while so I could rest before finishing it off. with this method, and eatting the raccoons I feel this could become a sustainable lifestyle for many years. thank you

I assume they launch themselves into your face like a facehugger so I could probably fight off 0

Now if they run at you from the ground and go for the ankles, I am fairly confident I could fight off 0

We used to trap them in live traps on the farm, and would sometimes catch as many as 5 per evening (sometimes two to a trap). The trick was to get a clean hit on the top of the head with the first blow of a baseball bat, or else you're going to just injure them instead of knocking them out or outright killing them (I've probably killed ~200 this way). Raccoons have a surprisingly tough skull, and if you don't have a weapon of some sort, you're going to have to somehow crush it to kill them. I've caught raccoons out in the open and put the boots to them, and I'm sorry to say that it was neither an easy or a relatively quick death for them. Even with a pair of steel-toed work boots, you're going to have a hell of a time killing them. The two times that I did kill them without a weapon it required probably a minute or so each, with me eventually having to jump on their head to make sure they died. Their bodies are very resilient, and they have enough fat on them to cushion a lot of blows that would kill a similarly sized animal. Back when we used to grow feed-corn we could shoot somewhere in the neighbourhood of 100 per night. They are the absolute most wasteful animal on the planet next to humans. They'll knock down a cornstalk, take a single bite from a cob, knock down another, take another bite, knock down another, etc. A raccoon can knock down a area of corn the size of a typical above ground swimming pool in a single night, and a full family can clear enough room for a game of half-court.

Lining them up and fighting them sequentially? It would be all about your stamina and footwear. If you're wearing runners, then you're probably going to break a toe on the first or second one and be done. If you have steel-toed boots, then it just going to be a manner of how long before you can no longer kick effectively. If I had to put a number down, I'd say about 15 raccoons, maybe 20 (max) as 15-20 minutes is probably the longest I could keep up that kind of exertion.

Also you should stay away from any place that has a lot of racoon feces. Their poop can carry parasite eggs that can kill you if inhaled.
