I have some of the marshmallow cream that I am going to spread on those flat cotton pads (like a cotton ball that has been flattened) and instead of putting it inside the live trap, I am going to put it on the ground a set the trap over top of the pad. The pad is about the size of a half dollar/sliver dollar and almost paper thin. I figure it I put the bait section of the trap over top of the pad, then the raccoon can't just reach in to get the bait, and if the coon goes inside, the trap is setting on top of pad. It will have to pull at the pad, which will jar the cage/trap.
I also have some netting (like onions or fruit come in) and I am going to tie that around the sticky buns and tie the netted bait to the trap.
Thanks for the warning about human scent and using gloves.
The leg traps came today, but no instructions with them at all. They came from FlemmingOutdoor and not at thing with them. Just four of them, loose in a box. They are the Duke Dog Proof Raccoon Trap http://www.flemingoutdoors.com/duke-dog-proof-racoon-trap.html How or what do I anchor them down with? I know I use the attached chain, but what do I hook it or anchor it to? How deep?
I did also get some Coon Candy from FlemmingOutdoor and am going to use it too.
