Captured!

Not sure about the effectiveness of catch and release. Look at http://www.eapl.com/raccoon.html -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Hank" wrote in message ... I hope you are luckier than I. In the past two weeks I have set the trap every night and so far the total is eight ........ nothing in the past three nights ......... so maybe ***crossing fingers**** that's it. It's amazing how quickly water-cress and WH can recover. http://community.webshots.com/user/hankpage1 "Lori" wrote in message ... That blasted raccoon that has trashed my watergarden twice! The professional critter-catcher left 2 Hav-a-heart traps set a week or so ago, and the one in the crawlspace had been tripped once with nothing in it....but tonight, I heard the trap close, hubby checked, and wow!! the 'coon was IN it this time. Whew! Sure hope the catcher takes him far far away before releasing him. Lori |

Not sure about the effectiveness of catch and release. Look at True. However, the entry in the crawlspace is being fixed, so at least the 'coons will not be getting in under the house. :-) |

I live in the country, and I have to deal all the time with problem animals the suburbanites dumped in my back yard because THEY didn't want to deal with them: cats, dogs, rabbits, raccoons, you name it. Guess what country folk do these animals? Kelly |

Or will the trapper drive miles and miles into the wilderness (yeah, right) to release him in a location where he won't bother any other humans? If so, then he's just displacing some other racoon (or other wildlife), which means that one of them will starve, or kill the other. Can't see the point of that. Or is the trapper going to take the racoon to the Shady Acres Rest Home for Wayward Racoons, where he will live to the end of his days cared for by a loving staff, with all the Racoon Tasty Snacks he can eat? That's a pleasant fantasy... perhaps we should go with that one. Seriously, if the racoon is a problem for you, it's a problem period. Trapping it just transfers the problem to someone else. Shoot it. If you can't deal with shooting problem wildlife, don't build your homes in their habitat. Kelly |

A slice of bread with peanut butter and I put some on the trip lever.
( this prevents catching the neighbors cat. Also many say marshmallows) http://community.webshots.com/user/hankpage1 "Lori" wrote in message ... I hope you are luckier than I.

What are you using as bait? The critter-catcher putv a can of cat food in the trap. Took almost 2 weeks to catch him. He tripped it once but managed to avoid being in the cage at that time, so thought sure he wouldn't go in the trap again... It's amazing how quickly water-cress and WH can recover. My WH is still struggling. |

If it moves shoot it, if tastes good, cook it and eat it, otherwise mount it in the trophy room. Until the coon learns to become like the rat and mouse, they're doomed to become an endangered species, once we'd developed all their habitat. Sameer |

Raccoons aren't doomed, they are thriving. Their population is on par with what it was in the mid-1800s, despite hunting, suburbs and cars. They love our suburban habitiats. They are very smart and adaptive. My brother has them in his backyard in San Francisco, very cool urban dudes with their little cups of espresso. k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...ors/index.html |

Peace Here it is against the law to catch and release animals (disease and population problems). If you trap 'possums or coons you pretty much have to kill them. The pound will usually kill them for you if you deliver. Your guy is probably going to kill them, but it's better for business if he lets you think they are going to "the country". |

In my area Animal Control charges $40.00 per animal to trap and remove
an animal and by law they must release it in the same township unless it is on county property. I bought the same trap they use for $39.00. Last year I caught five and this year eight and I release them in a county park ten miles away. If these animals are a nuisance to everyone in my neighborhood why should I have to pay to have them removed and set loose were they can return. Now that I vented, they are right ....... very seldom only one raccoon. http://community.webshots.com/user/hankpage1 "Lori" wrote in message ... I do hate to rain on your parade but... Where there is one Raccoon there are usually others.... Have only seen the one...but the second trap is now under the house waiting :-) |

If you can't deal with shooting problem wildlife, don't build your homes in their habitat. I didn't build my home in their habitat. This is the city, I just rent a home here. I would have shot it, but I ain't about to go to jail because of a stupid 'coon. |

I don't care what he did with the thing, as long as it isn't living and pooping and releasing fleas under my house anymore. |
