Well, I finally got down to the property and set my 14 traps out and was very happy with the results. I ended up baiting 8 of them with sardines and 6 of them with marshmellows and syrup just to see which would be more effective. I ended up catching 9 raccoons and was 7 of 8 on the sardines and 2 of 6 on the marshmellows so I think I know what I will be using in the future! The sardines are easier toget in the trap and easierto clean up also.

Overall I was very happy with the results for just 1 night. I will probably set them out one more time this spring and I think my ground nesting birds will be very thankful!
