Try a half inch slice of corn on the cob with a string tied to it so that the corn is suspended inside the cage near the back. Tie the other end to the door trip lever.
Dogs and cats are not interested in the corn. Often the coon will not step on the treadle but will yank the corn.
Well, I’ve gone thru 4 boxes of honeybuns now(the rain does a number on ‘em) without catching one single raccoon.
Hint: You’re supposed to put the honeybuns in the trap.
Actually, I can’t stand the damn things and I utterly despise Hostess Twinkies! I’m much more of a Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll fancier... ;)
Hmmm, sounds good, I may have to try that. But have you priced fresh corn lately? It’s not exactly the best time of year to buy it. My better half and I were at Wallyworld yesterday-$2.21 for four scrawny little ears of not-so-fresh yellow corn! You think the frozen stuff would work...?
I caught 3 last year with fresh apple quarters but that didn’t work at all this year. My cousin owns 50 acres of woods with a creek across the road from me and says he’s not even seeing any signs of raccoon activity along the banks like he used to.
I’m beginning to think that virus has spread a lot farther than known and has hit them really hard around here.
“Is there anything this effective for libtards?”
An exorcism maybe?
