Last night I was super tired from the long trip, I just wasn't ready for bed. I stepped out with the spotlight, 2 raccoons were sitting on top of the blackberries. I could tape the spotlight to my pellet gun or shoot some 22 CB shorts or longs at them.
Bill, I know who's doing some of the raiding. I watched a green tomato climb a tree. When it stopped on a limb both the tomato and squirrel came to the ground with one shot of the pellet gun.
Spindle, Thank you for the offer. I'll see if someone closer comes to my aid.
I've got 3 in the last 2 weeks.
Cane build and set a few of them Chinese handcuff traps for them, wont take long to git rid of em.
Creek, I got 1 per night for 3 weeks last year. I catch 1 per week now. The last one tore up the trap, I think I got the rod in the wrong way, will see tonight. I think I have some field mice that get into the traps and eat the food too. Need to add some blue food to the mix.
That will do it. Did the same thing on the last one. Dang coon was so big the trap couldn't close on him.
- Use an electric “hot” wire around your garden. A two-wire electric fence, with wires five and 10 inches above ground, is effective. Make sure you water a strip abou 2' wide around the hot hot wire. A good ground is needed for the fence to be effective
I have an electric fence at 12" and 24" to keep the deer out, doing real good for that. I'll need to get another charger, wire and insulators since I'm at the limit of the charger now.
While it wasn't set up to be a trap at first a coworker told me about his cousin putting down a wire mat placing a piece of plywood on top then a pan on top of that. Ran a wire to the pan and one to the wire mat and filled it with water. Plugged it in. Killed three chickens before they could unplug it. Knew they would be in trouble so they dug a hole and just as they threw the last one in they heard something behind them it was the uncle and his dad. Said the uncle got his wife to get them boys some boiling water and let them clean those chickens. Said he never could convinve his dad that it was the cousins idea.
