The Quack Shack

[Luv Ducks]

I use dog food with a bit of pancake syrup drizzled inside dog proof traps. Live traps are nice for keeping them from tearing stuff up around them.. but easier to catch in dog proofs and less chance of a skunk or something else going in. I was afraid they'd tear the fence up, which it did. But we wanted the traps closer to where they would be going towards the ducks, and farther from the trees so they'd be easier to dispatch instead of having brush to get tangled up in.

Those black things are some cement weights I had blocking a low spot under the fence that needed filled with dirt. This is where I found them. That thing was determined to get in even after being caught.

I have never heard of dog proof traps. That is interesting. Thanks for the information.

This. They reach in to grab the bait and it catches them by the paw and holds them. You just have to anchor it to something securely so it can't be pulled up and the coon take off with it. We fix a cable on ours and put it around posts or trees.
