Caught the little beggers

Okkkkkkkkkkkkk then. Tried this, it's called the "patient trap". I used this set to catch some wild steers that no one else could catch. Anyway, that's another story but bottom line,,..it worked. This is gonna take some time. Set some bait outside your live trap and around the area, but do not bait the inside of the trap. Feed the little beggers as much as they can hold for about a week or more depending on what all they will eat then leave. One day don't put anything out for them to eat and then next night, put small amount in trap only and wire the pan so it will NOT go foo. As soon as they, if they will that is, start eating inside the trap,,... Feed them for another night then, set the pan to catch 'em. Worth a try. Don't get your bare hands anywhere on trap to leave a sent on it. Tried watermelon? Tried fresh bar-b-que tin foil clean up with juices on it, rolled up inside at the back of the trap? Are you having any luck yet? Anyway that's my :twocents:popcorn. They are starting to get to me! Patience is a good set. Good luck. :dono Get another trap and put nothing in it along with your one trap and set it also nearby? Good luck with old "trap shy"!

Here's an old one. Get barrel, i.e. as in trash barrel and put some bait in it. Put a stick of wood in it like a limb or anything you think a raccoon can climb on and get out so make it stick out of the barrel a couple of feet at least. You could even have two limbs for them to climb out on and *put by a tree standing upright open at the top. They will climb down into the barrel to eat and let them for a couple of days, then one night pull the sticks, limbs out of the barrel. The coon will climb tree to get down into the barrel with the use of the stick or limb and see there is no limb, but having eaten for several days out of this barrel and now still baited and smelling great he will go over the edge of the barrel and drop himself down in there, thinking he can get out somehow for he just did last night with no problem! This raccoon will be there waiting for you the next morning leaving you with having to find a way to getting rid of the animal! Good luck!

No luck yet. Chained feed can lids down and wired bird feeders up. Put suet cake feeder out further on clothesline so they have to be tightwire walkers to get to it. caught a couple of my cats with peanut butter and honey.

Your in Mo. Call some one with a hound and a .22 caliber solution to the problem.
