RE: Raccoon Trapping
Here's an easy way to get rid of those rascals. Talk to a local coon hunter and have him thin them out for you. He would be forever grateful and you would get the results that you want. Don't worry about his dogs running your deer out of there, good coondogs don't run the flag tails and even if the deer do runout, they will come right back.
Don't know any coon hunters, just keep your eyes out driving around, you will see their dog boxes in the back of their trucks. Tell me what city/state you live in and I will have some call you!
