We are going to set the "bandit trap" lol tonight, but hope we DON'T catch anymore (got them all for now). Thanks everyone, good luck on your hunting as well!

Caught coon #4 sometime after midnight! Hopefully it was the last coon for a while. We'll be keeping the trap set just in case though BTW I got to looking at the trap and I was wrong about manufacturer, it is not a Havahart, it's a True-catch, sorry about the mistake. ddawn Thanks for...

The time the coon sprung the trap without being caught, DD threw some cracked corn (scratch) in and reset the trap and caught it. I don't know if it was just really hungry, or they don't really care what they eat, probably the latter. Lol But between the marshmallows and putting boards around...

Calebs Acre Good luck hunting!

Ok. We'll keep it set permanently. Lol

Calebs Acre Our trap IS a Havahart. It is the size for coons. They have a website that tells you what size to get for what animal your trying to catch. I don't know the exact age of ours(trap) but it's old! kingmt I think we caught momma last night. It was bigger than the rest, and we...

Lol, Kitty's with a sweet tooth! Hehe. kingmt Yes, but how many in-laws/out-laws might we be talking about?

Punk-Rock_Chicken Lol, I take it you might not like coons?

Just might be... We are surrounded by creek on 3 sides of our property, with woods all around. Years ago before our oldest DD, ummm 14 maybe, we had chickens alot closer to the house, and soon wised up to the coons. That's why we have the chain link walls instead of anything else. We MIGHT...

You guys/gals are a wealth of information! And by golly, can you guess who we just happened to find in our fancy metal hotel tonight? That's right bandit #3! Sneaky food STEALER in the run (bandit #4)! See! STRONG, able to bend wire with their own hands/paws! Lol (see the fur?) Guess...

opa Thanks for that tip! I wonder if there should be a section under Egg, Chicken, & Other Favorite Recipes for certain predators? saddina I bet the original wasn't as SWEET.... (never hurts to retain info, you never know when it might come in handy)

Thanks! We'll do our best! Lol Hmmmm, marsh-mallow? When you put it like that, it doesn't sound so appealing. But I don't think the coons'll mind.

DD and DH just went down to set the trap again. The last 2 showed up between dusk and 1 AM. It's the weekend, so we've got all the time in the world tonight to keep resetting the trap, and we also picked up some marshmellows today, I figure it'll take just a few of them to catch the rest of the...

No, no, we have the weapons neccessary to dispatch them ourselves. But DH has a friend that makes use of the coons this time of year. Lol

citrusdreams Yeah, about relocating, where'd you say you are again?

OK! Here's #2! DD and I had put an empty feed bag over the cage in case it sprinkled and the dew settling. Well it tore it to shreds! We should have known better. Lol Now I've got a mess to clean in the morning. We'll set the trap AGAIN tomorrow night, and call around to the neighbors to see if...

I think what happened to ours was (other than it's as old as dirt) the coon is standing in the doorway and reaching in and got the bait. I told DD that we need to use like 1 grape. Something small, so they have to walk all the way in. Or maybe they are in kahoots and working together, I...

Sneer? Not moi! I've had squirrel brains (tastes like nuts). Lol DD and I just had to reset the trap, one of the coons took the bait! Yes I said 1! There are three more. One was by the trap, one was on top of the run and one was coming down the tree as DD and I were on our way up the yard to...

Thanks you all! We have had the trap set for an hour now, so we'll see how long it takes, and if it's sibling getting caught the night before scared it off for awhile. Crystalchic We're using a hava hart animal trap. We placed the caged coon in our wood shed to protect it in case it rained...
