I've caught rats and opossum but I've never caught a raccoon. I can't keep fish in my pond because of them so I'd like to they're just too smart.

Caught a lot of coon on the farm and also got one where I live now....Coons love raspberry jelly or jam....a neighbor on the farm taught me how to set up the trap for coon cause they get real smart and learn to reach over the trip lever and take the dish of jam out without a problem...I used a empty margarine container and you have to put 2 holes in the bottom and tie it to the trap as far back as it will go....the coon will try to lift the container, cannot and will trip the trap lever. But you need the right size live trap...The one I used cost about 40-45 dollars...

I use to let ground hogs go till I told my neighbor. He was having problems with ground hogs undermining his barn walls with their burrowing...When I caught a g. hog, I use to call him and he would dispatch it...I had no animosity against ground hogs, he did... Baby possum I'd put in the car and drive at least 10 miles away and let them go...

Adult possum would raid my geese nest of eggs...farm living was sure fun...along with a flock of Angoras a cow we ended up eating and a ewe...hoof trimming, delousing, worming and shearing, then separating up to 500 pounds of mohair by quality....twice a year...fun, fun, fun, loved it..people like fawn probably believe there food is grown in styrene packages and all vegetables grow in cans....
