Default Coon problem

I finally got my camera up on my corn yesterday. I had 16 photos of coons last night. What is the best way of getting rid of these pests. I'm going to spotlight them tonight but if there is a better way let me know. Thanks

Spotlighting works the best in my opinion. We got 34 in one night. We also trap them set some traps around the corn. Any trap will work, just through a little fish or somethin in it. Or put a snare in there trails.

Hide the watermelons and the fried chicken!

They will move out in their own when they get hungry enough.

Well I went last night to spotlight them. While We were walking the tree line to the feeder my camera flashed. We flew through the woods to see them but they disapeared. We tried to shine the trees but we couldn't find them. I don't have dogs so does anyone have any suggestions on how to catch em to kill em.

I would come get em for you, but I live in NE. Traps of any kind would work. Put some live traps with some fish around the corn.

Calling raccoons with Ecallers work well also, day or night. Get a friend to buy one of the Ecallers that have fighting coon sounds on it, and that's all it takes. Day or night.
