    I caught a raccoon!! Now what???

    I wonder if that would work! I haven't caught another one yet, do they only come out before a storm? Lol! I have my trap set! Might be time to move it. My new game cam comes today so ill be anxious to see if I get any pics. I also need to catch a few foxes but I don't think I'm going to be so...

    I caught a raccoon!! Now what???

    I wanted to let you know that I did do this, I moved the trap to a more sheltered area so he wasn't right in the blowing snow and was sheltered a bit.

    I caught a raccoon!! Now what???

    I agree with you 100%. I should have been prepared to deal with it myself. I did not realize how bad the weather was going to turn. I should have been paying attention however, and not set the trap last night. I know my dad will come and take care of it for me but he can't always come right...

    I caught a raccoon!! Now what???

    He was caught right up against my house also. Not out in the woods. I've seen him there before, right out my window, and he's also been in the back right on my patio. Last year I had a mother and babies up the tree. When I bought the house I had them in the attic. I have all new attic...

    Heres some info on disease carried in raccoon feces. Many raccoons carry a roundworm called baylisascaris. Infected raccoons pass baylisascaris eggs in the feces. Other animals and people can get infected if they accidentally swallow the eggs in soil or water. Developmentally disabled persons or...

    I caught a raccoon!! Now what???

    My father is on his way to shoot him, which is the right thing IMO. The raccoon carries diseases, damages property and kills chickens. My babies play in the dirt he runs around in. I set the trap to catch raccoon and I did. I just didn't expect the weather to drop 60 degrees overnight, which it did.

    I caught a raccoon!! Now what???

    Thank you. I do see your point. I think it is fine to kill it as I don't want it spreading diseases where my children play, or living in my attic, or killing my chickens. But I would have a problem with leaving it to suffer. So if it's too cold out for it to wait in the trap to the point of...

    I caught a raccoon!! Now what???

    Wow, you're nice. I am just asking if I can leave it there for a while until my dad comes and he will shoot it. But I didn't need someone to be rude to me.

    I caught a raccoon!! Now what???

    Last night I threw in a fresh handful of marshmallows and had moved the trap almost a week ago so no pics on my crummy game cam but...I caught him and he's big and ugly. Problem is, yesterday it was in the high 60s and last night a cold front came through and now it's only 14 with a nasty wind...
