    Drizzle a little blended sardine juice, then the marshmallow and you'll have a recipe for success. The coon cuff trap is a great raccoon trap, but there is a technique to making the sets.

    This is a trap savvy critter. Put the back of the trap against a wall...or better yet...if you have them, stack hay bails around the trap to create a cubby set. The bales will back the rear of the trap, blocking this type of activity, and the opening of the trap, under those bales, becomes...

    Conibear traps come primarily in 3 sizes, 110, 220, & 330. They also can be found in single spring configurations and double spring. There are other sizes available, but those are the primary sizes. For beaver, I really like my set of 300's, they are a tad smaller than a 330, but just as...

    Ask a manager, and find out when the dry ice arrives. The dry ice will be on the trucks when the store recieves their dairy shipments.

    If you can find tunnels that you think run to burrows, here is what I would do. Go to the grocery store and get a few 5lb blocks of dry ice. Break up the blocks with a hammer and drop the chunks into the burrow runs. Dry Ice is solid Carbon Dioxide...it is denser than air. It will fill the...

    Is it possible to set the trap where the chickens would not have access?

    Sounds like you're on your way to bagging a 3rd grader next....get a little anise oil from the grocery store and put a few drops on the marshmallows. Anise oil is a nice enticer for raccoons.

    ...back to the stone-age. I honestly have never seen raccoons behave like they do in that video. I have never even seen such high concentrations of animals....WOW!!!!

    That's easy...I know this one... A rat is not a weasel, is not a mink, is not a possum, is not skunk, is not badger, is not a fox, is not a coyote. To defeat a predator it helps greatly to know which predator...general solutions will solve most problems, but not all problems.

    Drop a 5 lb block of dry ice in the den...push it in deep and then cover up the entrance. That should do it.

    Highly doubtful. 2 years ago, I trapped for raccoon with 5 traps. These animals were destroying plastic irrigation pipe in a corn field. After each catch I put the raccoon 30 - 40 yards out in the corn. After 25 raccoons that field started smelling pretty ripe, yet I continued pulling...

    fighting raccoons

    Here's a nice trick... Even if a predator is trap shy and will not enter a trap....a lot of times they will still go right up to the mouth of the trap, they just won't go in. If I think this is happening, but the ground is hard or there is too much leaf litter to allow me to check for sign...

    Good move...make sure that the trap is firmly bedded...no wobble. I've never met a raccoon that could refuse canned salmon, sardines...anything with a nice fishy smell. Heck even dry cat food or dog food will entice them. If baiting with dry foods, put it under the treadle. Just enough to to...
