First 2'fer Ever for Me.......

Very good. I do the same with fish heads….

I been having the same issue but with possums. I think I have them cleaned out now but for awhile I was catching one every two days and this went on for a week and a half. I use a can of cat food for bait. From previous experience those racoons are much smarter than possums.

Possums like fresh apples and carrots too!!!

coons are tricky critters , them hands are like mini human hands with claws , they can work them traps over really well .....
we try to trap them often and are about 50 50 on our ketch rates , one thing for sure , they will flat out bend up the inside of them there box traps with a vengeance , the last one did a number on the inside and even bent up the door as well , keep your fingers and such clear of them for sure too , and NEVER let one get on ya ....
unless you got a camera man at hand and want a hilarious video to show off at family reunions ....
congrats on the double btw ....

My ear of corn has not worked so back to cat food tonight.........we'll see tomorrow if I get a customer.

Good luck.

The raccoons won last nights battle, this one knows to lift the foot petal before heading to the food. I am going to screw a small block to the side of the trap preventing them from pulling the pedal up. I need to win the war here.

I usually staked the trap down so they couldn't roll it or flex it. Also, set it so they couldn't approach from rear of trap. Quit trapping possums when I learned they eat ticks.

Pretty smart coons

And the battle rages in cages
