Mini I am so glad it worked. It has never failed me. The only issue I have with it is it seems the possums come out earlier in the evening than the raccoons. So until I reduce the local possum population I don't catch the raccoons I catch those UGLY things.
Actually tonight I will be stopping at the store to pick up a couple cans of sardines. I found two tails of koi next to my garden pond this morning. So I have new raccoon that has moved in. They must be very clever little dudes as my garden pond I hand dug and in most place it is three feet deep. I am always amazed when they are able snatch one out of there. They are not the large koi I think the ones they got were the $3.99 I bought at the pet store this spring.

Scooter, I understand. I did the same style pond for my ducks and have two organic filter tanks flowing into it. every so often I find dead Koi (Aka cheap feeder goldfish that grow large) and wonder what or how they were caught.

No pictures. Son woke up early, mad that I did not include him the nights anti-Raccoon activities and buried the three. Momma and two kits. Hate to do it but.....

Have a great day and excellent advice. I will reset tonight and see if the camera picks anything up. Thanks again

I hate killing any wildlife. I try to live by the motto of live and let live, but........................

My ex always got mad at me. She said your inviting these critters by having chickens, ducks, garden and your pond, it's not their fault. So I guess you understand the "ex" part.

hehehe, LMAO.

My wife has no problem holding the light for me or digging graves. we lived here for 4 years before heading overseas for 6 raising critters, no raccoons. Came back right before the Bastrop Fire and restarted raising chickens. Fine for a year and BAM.... Raccoon invasion. Not sure where they came from but we suspect they were relocated to the wooded lot next door. Oh well, sucks to be them.

Agree with your vision about wildlife. We try very hard to leave them alone and enjoy nature. Last nigth Momma was showing her two kits the path to the buffet.
