    I love the way the trapped racoons buddy shows up and eats all the food...With friends like that, who needs enemies..

    We live out in the country, so the raccoon population is pretty big. A lot of them have rabies too. I wish I could relocate them, but there is just too many and they keep killing our chickens, so I have no choice but to shoot them.

    What I do for baiting is an empty tuna fish can wired to the bottom or back of cage. This deppends on if you have a double door or single door trap.

    Many raccoons will reach into the traps wired grid and draw the food out. And if you do trap one they have one hell of a growl. Not for weak people , This ia a heavy adrenaline rodent ready to attack.

    I just caught a racoon with this trap last night. It ate two of chickens, had a standoff with my cat, then tried to get in my kid's room. These traps are great.

    They are a handful to handle even within the trap. They want to bite. Wear thick leather gloves while releasing them.
  • A great trap. I have caught 8 racoons in the last 12 days this summer; opposums , a skunk, and more coons in prior years. Two to three miles is not far enough a distance to relocate them for good. The permitted drop off area needs to be further than 5 miles. I have been told. I had to let one go one friday morning because I had to get a friend to her doctor's location 45 miles away and didn't want the coon to have to stay in the cage till I got back several hours later. Especially after having to spent most of the prior night in the cage. After that coon was caught and let go off my porch, the coons started tripping the trap and then reaching through the squares in the wires to eat the cat food from the outside of the cage trap. I have been taking the coons (with permission) to a wildlife preserve 13 miles away and one I took to a state park, with permission.

    After eating a Banquet pot pie, I throw the microwavable pie tin into the live trap. Gets them every time. However, I prefer baiting DP traps.

    Historians will play this video when they describe the .22lr shortage of the 2nd decade of the third century.
  • I have that trap or one similar but the raccoon was so mad, and kept biting on the wires, the catch thing that keeps the plate up and the door open won't work. I also think the trap wires are so large, it's dangerous getting near the trap because the raccoon can reach out. Why not a thick mesh versus the wires? And then an easier way to open the door for release after he's inside and still hissing! Just learning about traps but I still think there's improvement needed on the design!

    I have a colony of raccoons near my house and they sure seem like a bonded family. This trap only lets u get one at a time. Need one that traps many all at once. So that they're relocated together.

    I absolutely love my trap. I have the same one. Neighborhood cats kept spraying my front door and my RV. I have been relocating neighborhood cats now!! have moved two of them so far in one week!! My bait, canned tuna on a small paper plate.
