Raccoons collapsed a soffit panel in Cartersville

This kind of raccoon damage is very common this time of the year. Young raccoons are growing up and starting to run around and climb on their own, and their increasing weight causes things like soffit panels to collapse under their weight.

In a month or two, the raccoons who caused this damage to a house in Cartersville, Georgia will be big enough to fend for themselves, though not yet full-grown. Most of the males will leave the nest and spend the winter either on their own or with other "bachelor" males. Most of the females will stay with mama for their first winters. Then next spring, we'll have another spate of soffit-panel collapses and other raccoon damage as the young depart to start their new lives.
