Dead Hen & Digging Around Coop

I can see that. I've never caught a cat in one though.

No LOL not cat proof. We used cat food as bait on recommendation and I guess she couldn't help herself. Her foot was not broken, we saw her running around on our property the next day.

Yeah, marshmallows will work as bait for coons and cats won't bother them.

I thought I might update this for anyone looking to solve a similar problem in the future. It was a raccoon. We know this because we purchased a humane trap where the raccoon sticks his hand down a cylinder and sets off a spring. Their hand gets caught in the trap - but you do have to get it off and I won't get into how that's done. I'll just say, if you don't get rid of the issue then, it will only get worse and they will come back. Here is a picture of the raccoon. We haven't had any further incidents.

Nice! I need one of those. I have never seen them before.

We got ours at Sportsmans Warehouse. They're hard to find in stores. Not sure if it's in high demand or if fewer places are selling traps. Anyway, you can order them online for the same price (I'm thinking $20) but go ahead and order a few so you aren't in the thick of it waiting for it to ship!
