0 Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 it starved to death since the tree was in the middle of a cornfield and nothing else? (if it's nothing else, where's the corn field?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Fileobrother Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 this sounds too obvious, I'm probably way off the dog was flushing the raccoon for a hunter who shot it when it climbed the tree? The only reason I guessed this is because I'm a hunter, and I've done this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Does it have something to do with the racoon being rabid? Since they are usually nocturnal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 The tree was really small - like a bonsai - or quite young, and the dog was big so climbing the tree was useless as the dog could reach the racoon and kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other logical answer to me at this point is....was no longer a tree but manufactured into an electric pole! Raccoon hit the line and fed the dog!! outongreystreet....DMB? If so VERY cool!

0 Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 humm, the dog did not kill the racoon. There was a bob cat already in the tree that killed the racoon... ( Im not good at this)The only other logical answer to me at this point is.... outongreystreet....DMB? If so VERY cool! was no longer a tree but manufactured into an electric pole!

0 Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 The dog farted So Badly that it died of the stink. OR The dog was sooooooooo ugly the racoon couldn't bear it anymore and jumped of the tree The only other logical answer to me at this point is.... outongreystreet....DMB?

0 Guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 the "tree" was actually a cornstalk and that is alot easier to push/reach/attack the raccoon. i don't know if i am right but thats the first thing that came to my mind when i read it.

0 Guest Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I just had another thought that the dog had already bitten the raccoon before it went up so it could have bled out and then fallen. but still prefer my first idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 deannaart Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 [spoiler='Is there an answer to this??? Maybe... ']There was a snake in the tree. It bit the raccoon.... and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Fileobrother Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Honestly, I think this guy posted this riddle to see how man people would post, and also to see how many people he could make angry by not saying who's right or not...or maybe he's just busy.
