They are all over our feeders here. So we started trapping them around the feeders. I don't enjoy this part of hunting very much. For some it's easy but I just can't ever get used to it.

Re: One pissed off coon!
Interesting traps, I wouldn't mind a close up of it but I think I know how it works.
I got two last week. I just use a cage trap and dangle milkbones through the top and then cover the top with heavy wood blocks.
They have to pull hard on the milkbones which cause them to lose focus on the trigger plate.
.410 finishes them off faster than the .22.

Re: One pissed off coon!
We use the Duke DP coon trap. Can't recommend them highly enough. Its just a metal tube they stick there hand in which trips the spring and clamps onto their hand, simple, effective, and won't catch unwanted critters. We bait with syrup and a marshmellow or peanutbutter and bread. I haven't had one pull out of them yet and this last one really tried hard, it wanted to gouge my eyes out.

Haha.....good point!
Don't feel bad about shooting them, especially with the price of corn and deer protein these days....
Just think of them as diseased corn-thieving little bastards that if given the chance would kill you and everyone you ever cared about.....

They'd certainly kill your dogs if they ever got in deep enough water with them.
Much as I don't like wanton killing, I killed thousands of jackrabbits back on our farm because they would literally come in from the desert and 'mow' 200 yds. x 880 yds. of prime dairy alfalfa down. That ran about $120 bucks a ton. At five ton to the acre annually it amounted to about $3000-$5000 we lost. If I didn't kill as many as I did it would amount to maybe three times that.
To some it sounds stupid, but for the same reason, I hardly ever shot coyotes unless they were messing with our cows. Because coyotes kept the population down better than I ever could shooting them.

Re: One pissed off coon!
Those coons can be a pain in the ass. They tried holding my dog underwater, and paid the price. They are viscious bastards.
I don't care for them.

I bought half a dozen of these traps, based on this thread. I put 3 under each of two feeders yesterday. Baited them with 3 large marshmallows each. Today, I had 6 coons in the 6 traps. 4 live, 2 dead. An awesome product!

Re: One pissed off coon!
Shoot those little bastards. People think they are cute, until they eat $30 in corn, prize mangoes, 40 lbs of expensive dog food, cute b.s. like that. Real cute when they eat ALL of the birds in a hen house. No quail, duck, pheasant, dove chicks around? They are varmints. Just shoot them.
Shoot one for me.

Coon stew! I remember the first coon I killed... It was with a canoe oar... I broke the oar before that little rascal died.
