Tip to Catch Bait Stealing Raccoon | Raccoon Cage Trap Tip

Bait stolen yesterday and the day before. Set the trap this evening at dusk and by 9 p.m. the bait was gone. I came in and watched your video, reset the trap and had caught the Coon by 11:30 what an awesome tip you've saved my chickens

OMG thank you so much for this. I don't know how I didn't think about doing this. For a WEEK we have our traps getting the bait stolen... tried this trick, caught BOTH the raccoons that have been getting at my chickens.

HERES ANOTHER TIP FROM ME One thing I have experienced with raccoons, was that they were always putting there hands through the gate, and pulling the food out. I ziptied sheet metal across the back so then it can't reach in. It has helped a ton!

All I can say is thank you for this tip. Had two coons that were stealing the bait from my traps for over a week. Put a piece of rebar like you suggested, and caught both the very next night. It reallllly works... thanks again!!

You are a genius! After 3 failed attempt, I decided to try it your way. Finally caught the racoon. Thanks so much!

This is one of the best Youtube tips out there yet. Worked perfect and the racoon had no chance. Thank you and BRILLANT TIP!!!

Great tip, I would have never thought of that. He got the bait the first night, not the second

This WORKS!...thanks a million just caught the uncatchable after a month of him stealing bait every night your trick got him ;-) he is in the happy hunting ground as i type he had killed my chickens every night for over a month climg the trees and get them roosting at night and ruined all their nest and eggs, i just found a stick that would go through like a dowel rod,as soon as he tried to go over it and step down trap popped and i jumped for joy as i was watching on cams, my chickens and i thank you ...

Good stuff ,a little tin can wired to back of the trap works to.

Just stumbled upon your video. Tried this last night and caught the guy who was stealing bait for a week. Thanks for the post!

MY RACCOONS MADE LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT, ALL I CAN DO IS LAUGH, THEY ARE SO INTELLIGENT , I WILL TRY YOUR TIP THANKS FOR SHARING !

i had the same issue,, placed 2 rebar rods to make a fence theyhad to crawl over and actualy caught 2 of them the same night. Great tip!

i thought i was the only one who figured that trick out. lol. works like a charm. good vid.

Thanks caught the raccoon that was tearing up my kids toys and pool hoses. He thought he could steal the bait but not with your trick! Thank you!

that's so simple but so helpful! thanks a lot and greetings from a german hunter!

This man deserves a noble price

Thanks! Lost my bait for a week. Set the bar and woke up to a possum in the trap. Simple but effective

Dude! You are awesome!! I tried to catch this thief for a month. Nothing just missing bait. I followed your idea and next day got me a racoon. Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing 😊 what a fantastic idea 💡 we have a tricky raccoon 🦝 also I will share this with my hubby. Thanks again

OMG, thank you so much! I just got a trap, first night coon took my bait and left. I watched your video and had a metal pole that fit and I followed your instructions. This morning, a young coon was in the trap, but it dug up my grass underneath trying to escape. I'm after a big tailless one. My neighbor took this little one and set him free in a field nearby. I'm 68 and I can't thank you enough for helping me out! Oh, I used a quarter cut of an apple and a teaspoon of cheap cat food, a stinky fish flavor. Easy peasy.
