Very good. I do the same with fish heads….
I been having the same issue but with possums. I think I have them cleaned out now but for awhile I was catching one every two days and this went on for a week and a half. I use a can of cat food for bait. From previous experience those racoons are much smarter than possums.
Possums like fresh apples and carrots too!!!
coons are tricky critters , them hands are like mini human hands with claws , they can work them traps over really well .....
we try to trap them often and are about 50 50 on our ketch rates , one thing for sure , they will flat out bend up the inside of them there box traps with a vengeance , the last one did a number on the inside and even bent up the door as well , keep your fingers and such clear of them for sure too , and NEVER let one get on ya ....
unless you got a camera man at hand and want a hilarious video to show off at family reunions ....:Rofl
congrats on the double btw ....:highfive
My ear of corn has not worked so back to cat food tonight.........we'll see tomorrow if I get a customer.
Good luck.
The raccoons won last nights battle, this one knows to lift the foot petal before heading to the food. I am going to screw a small block to the side of the trap preventing them from pulling the pedal up. I need to win the war here.
I usually staked the trap down so they couldn't roll it or flex it. Also, set it so they couldn't approach from rear of trap. Quit trapping possums when I learned they eat ticks.
Pretty smart coons
And the battle rages in cages
