An old farmer told me to get the chuckies you need to dig a slanted hole into a small hill. He used stove pipe but I would think that a large drain pipe capped on the end would be better. Put potato peelings and other gormet foods that they like at the bottom. When they climb in it’s to slick for them to come out. Then you just have to pop them. I plan to try it this spring.
Roast chuckie with mashed potatoes, mmm!
Sounds like “How to catch a raccoon in a milk bottle: lash an old glass milk bottle to a tether, place a slice of apple inside. The raccoon will reach inside and grab the apple. His paw will not fit back through the neck. Too stubborn to let go, he’ll be there when you come.”
I googled “raccoon” once. Seems about a hundred years ago, raccoon appeared on the menus of the best eating establishments. Guess Walt Disney changed all that.
