Ok I have to buy a live trap, I have a very hungry racoon that has killed or stollen 6 of my 10 babies and one is missing a wing and bald on top ( won't live) and I have to build a new baby home. the one I built did not work * imagine that* I would have killed it last night but hubby was sleeping and would not tell me where the gun was......I have a 38 special but thought that was over kill LOL
