RE: Trouble Making Racoons!

Are you trying to trap them? We've trapped raccoons that were sniffing around the chicken coop, but we had a wary wise old rascal last summer that ruined probably a quarter of our corn over the course of a month. The Husband had 2 traps out there and tried a variety of bait (including fresh corn!) and that critter knew to stay away from them and eat corn on the stalk instead. We didn't think to put out a game camera.

Sort:  

Yes I've tried trapping them. But as you pointed out raccoons are really hard to trap. The only thing I caught in the traps were possum. Plus I don't know what I would do with them after I trap them. Just released them on someone else's land for them to be there problem?

I guess it depends on your state. In ours it's legal to "humanely dispatch" them, and actually illegal to relocate them!

I understand where you're coming from. I have more of a voluntaryism look on life so I usually don't worry much about what the laws tell me I have to do. But thanks for the suggestion.
