If that's true, then it's bad news for me, it means I'll have to give up gardening or fence my garden. Fencing will be a major hassle and expense. I moved them 10 miles away to the other side of a major river I've moved a woodchuck to the other side of the Tennesee river. No way he's coming back. Eventually I gave up If I give up, that means no more beans, brocolli, cabbage, and okra for starters. BTW I wouldn't set a trap today, there is a major rabies epidemic among raccoons, you don't want to go anywhere near them. Well, it's impossible for them to bite while in the cage. If one does attack, I suppose I'll be looking forward to the series of rabies injections. Raccoons are very smart animals. One of the things that I had to do when I was trapping them was to put cinder blocks on top of and and on both sides of the trap. My raccoons had figured out the latching mechanism on the Havaheart trap. When one got caught another one would flip open the latch and press the lever and free the trapped raccoon. The cinder blocks were to heavy for the raccoons to move (although they tried) so they weren't able to get to the latch. |
