Have been messing with live traps for a few weeks and the coons just are too smart for them. No matter how I hide them, cover them with blocks etc, they just wouldn't go in. I live in a suburb area and I think they're just too used to them. Had a duke trap out for 3 nights baited with fish and 2...

OK, have 2 Reds, 2 sex links, and 2 little black chickens that were obviously misidentified at TSC, so not sure what they are yet.
