Live Trap Raccoon- sucker keeps getting away ??

[fratri]

If you raccoons come back, here is a great trap for them. They run about $12. Use a marshmallow for bait. The only animal it will trap is a coon.

They are great traps, caught plenty of coons ............... but did catch a cat once, which we these traps can and was released unharmed....

I can vouch for them....great trap, but it needs the .22 lr accessory....with SSS out of the question, not to great if you have to handle the beast..LOL .

Where can you buy them!? And do you need a trapping licence?

[trappermatt]

Yes you legally need a trapping licence to use them

Even if it's your own property that is considered a farm?

Shooting, shoveling, and shutting up, also known as the 3-S treatment, refers to a method for dealing with unwanted or unwelcome animals in rural areas.

A lot more latitude, no restrictions. I switched to these traps here on my farm because the cats would keep getting caught in the 'Have a Hart' live traps. I have never had a cat caught in one of these.

I bought mine at a trappers store in NY state, so not sure where you can get them here. Someone told me you can get some local agricultural feed stores to order them in.

Yes sir

farmer” means a person whose chief occupation is farming and,
(a) who is living upon and tilling his or her own land, or land to the possession of which he or she is for the time being entitled, or
(b) who is a settler engaged in clearing land for the purpose of bringing it to a state of cultivation; (“exploitant agricole”)

this is is the FWCA interpretation of a farmer , just owning land does not make one a farmer and I see that there may be some confusion on this out there .

if you are legally able to use these devices I can give you some tips on how to catch coon in them consistently , there are tricks that make them more effective
