*** OKIES in the BYC ***

[GotGame]

maybe your coons are different in your part of the country al, I have seen a fair few coon trapped and none acted sluggish, but either way coon are very intelligent, very bloodthirsty, and also prone to disease, so that right there are 3 good reasons that that one shouldnt make it to see another sunset...

Bait with marshmellows & place traps next to or under bushes (tall grass works too) that are nearby.

What I do is when I bait the trap I put the bait in a tuna can wired to the back of the trap, if bait is left in there loose mice and birds and small critters who won't be heavy enough to trip it will carry the bait off. I put my live traps near the coop cause that's what there intrested in and I don't want them to have a choice, chickens or bait 100ft away.

I have trapped some that were a little off, but most were alert and fiesty and would hiss, bark & Bar it's teeth when I kick the cage. As far as dispatching it I always just do it as quick as I can but also whatever is the easiest way for me, I don't get squimish and don't give a hoot if it struggles.

If I didnt turn them out to train pups, a .22 shell is the quickest and easiest, on everyone involved....I do it to make it as painless as possible, I am not squeamish but I also dont like causing unnecessary pain, I know some people that think it is more 'merciful' to tie a rope to the cage and toss it in a deep creek, leave it for 10 mins and pull cage back out and empty it...to me, that is cowardly and mean, if you are gonna be responsible for trapping it, you need to dispose of it quick and merciful. Just my two cents and many disagree with me...
