RE: Raccoon Trapping
 

we'll i'm a preety good coon trapper n this year wen i used them lil griz trap i was so happy they payed for thems selves the first night. i set them by a corn field n they went nuts on them. 11 out of 12 traps had coons. but wat u want to do it dig a lil hole there by your feeder. put that inside of it. and put fishoil in it. u can buy it at any trapping store.Trust me a coon will be able to smell the fish over the corn. and he will put his hand into one of them traps

I caught a coon in my attic once with one of those live traps... didnt see him any more. :)
Anyways one of my friends that does comercial extermination told me to use some kind of bear trap. i kno that sounds weird but idk what he ment by it either. lol I think he was talking about one of those traps that has the presure plate in the middle and snaps shut.
Good Luck

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!

That is a lot of raccoon in one place on the ground. I have known some dogs that would have thought they were in heaven if they saw that many in the ground.

I catch them with vienna sausage and put a liter with a a triple hook, other known as a trubble hook. catch em rill fast.

Here is what I use...............
