Catching Coons.

Part of living in the country is living with animals. There are times that they become destructive and must be removed to a more wild area. This is especially true with Raccoons.
We bought this trap and added metal sides and partial metal bottom so they could not reach the food from the outside. We also put a thin board on the platform so the have to move the board to reach the food. This has made the trap fool proof. We have caught 5 coons already.
When the coons are caught they can be very aggressive, so what we do is put a towel/ blanket over the trap. We also added wire handles on each end to easily move the trap while keeping it covered without getting bit.
