Leg-hold traps or are we talking about live catch traps? If you are talking about leg hood, you will catch every cat and dog for 10 miles around.

Man dont be wasting a good honeybun on a coon Thats just wrong


An older gentleman told my dad & I that years ago. Think I’ve had 11 out of 12 in 1 night before. Say what you want, but 4 coons on a Lil Debbie honeybun from the value pack is money well spent, IMO. The turkeys appreciate the work they do, anyway.

I had five raccoons at my bird bath this morning drinking water. One would jump off and another would climb on.

I used to trap them on property. Would give them to people I the area.

I always found sardines worked the best. Such a strong smell drew them in.

I used decided to use sardines this summer as bait. I caught one coon out of 6 DP's. The DP's I didnt catch on were empty.

Im assuming ants? Seems like it would take a while for ants to pack off 2-3 whole sardines.
