A recent new chicken owner here.... About to become A trapper now too as A consequence of owning chickens Lets just say I now understand why some people will swerve to hit A coon or possum. Going to have egg layers may as well use them as bait.

Outstanding job

Great Trapping

Thanks for sharing. It's good to see you working traps again.

Lmao that raccoon scared the crap out of me lol sweet vid bud

Man I missed these

What brand/type DP’s do you like?

Nice to see ya back at it, keep em coming thanks and take care

What method do you use to dispatch?

I'm going to start trapping raccoons this season and I learned a lot from these kinds of videos. Thanks for the info

Glad to see you put another trapping video out I enjoy watching them!! One thing I've learned over the years with dog proofs is try to set them were raccoons can't reach anything while in trap. Will 99.9% eliminate chance of racoons pulling out of trap or pulling anchor out when they can't get leverage on anything. Amazing how much strength they have when they can get a hold of something with those hands to pull on! Good luck on line and keep videos coming.

Great videos man! Do you still use youtube?

Raccoons keep destroying my bird feeders and tearing part my garbage cans. THIS IS WAR!

Would this go off from a child sticking their finger in? Not sure if it's safe with young kids.

Almost dropped my phone @ 0:59

What to do with the raccoon 🦝 after it’s trapped? I’m in the city .. how do you get it out of the trap without getting scratched to death??

Here's some tips to help. Scout before season find sign. Remember kiss keep it simple Location location location Get yourself a few trapping books I.e.dirt hole basics , flat sets and its variations, if you trap beaver beaver 2000 is a good one. Also dind books on the animals you want to trap. Don't underestimate Duke they're a good trap for beginners. Been trapping for years and have some from when I first started. If your passing coon sign to set a coyote set you just left a 5$ bill laying in the woods If your going to sell the fur you catch learn how to put it up more time but better money. Get a good book or video on putting fur up. Good luck and last but not least. Keep a trapping log. It will pay off in the end. Way I keep mine is set location type of set put in and lure or bait used. If you want to go more in depth also helps what the weather did the night of catch and temperature.

Do you sell yours? Or do you skin and eat?

Dp you eat those animals?

Make more videos

Opossums are beneficial by eating ticks and bother no one. WHY KILL THEM?

I've never understood the point of modern trapping, do you really eat raccoons? And if you don't eat them is it for fun? I don't see how catching something in a trap could be fun, like, there's no sport to it like there is with hunting.. you just sit and wait. Oh well, to each their own.

You can sell the pelts. But I'm going to start trapping them because they will kill Turkeys as well as eat their eggs.

I do animal trapping for work. Can't say I like it people treat the animals like shit. Easiest way to solve a animal problem is prevent it by sealing entry points. I don't get how people can do it for a fun hobby I believe outdoorsman should be preserving and protecting . There's no thrill in trapping raccoons to me they are to easy to catch

@@americanchaos2688 I agree. People make all sorts of excuses like "oh but if I dont trap them they'll kill the _____ population!!" When in reality nature was just fine before people came along. I dont have a problem with trapping or hunting anything as long as you eat it. But all these people that kill a bunch of animals for a few pelts are a problem in my opinion.

@@EngineeringHooksets People, over the years, have manipulated the balance of nature. I live in Missouri and the wild turkey population was, in the past, devestated. Through a repopulation program they have made huge strides in their population. Coons and coyotes used to be hunted for their pelts. PETA, and their anti-fur campaigns have all but stopped the fur trade. I've seen it said that there are over a million coon pelts in cold storage, waiting for the price of pelts to rise. Not many people are hunting them or trapping them. Coon populations have exploded. More coons equals less turkeys. I have taken 35 coons off of 17 acres in three years. I can't see that I've even made a dent in their population. I trap coons so that I can eat more wild turkeys. We need more predator hunters and trappers. IMHO

How sad. And I say that as someone who has nothing against legitimately taking game for food or doing pest or predator control Like at @, a highly intelligent animal spends its last moments in terror so someone can kill it and get five bucks for the fur.

@@furcoatssuck3143 its not about collecting fur, its about pest control. Would you let bed bugs infest your home because you would feel too bad exterminating them? Or how about mice, who's droppings can carry the hantavirus? Raccoons are gorgeous creatures, but they are destructive and will kill chickens, geese, ducks, they will eat the koi fish out of your pond or stock tank, they are potential rabies vectors, and they carry roundworm which can be dangerous to adults, children, and pets. So putting a potentially dangerous animals well being over your livestock, pets and children's well being is actually quite neglectful. I have never taken fur, I just don't want them going through my bins and destroying the garden I worked so hard on. Make sense? I pity every raccoon that I put down, but I value my property more.

Raccoons as well as opossums are a decent predator of wild turkey and quail nesting aread. Not to mention the chickens they kill. Traps are relatively humane as well. The trap does not hurt them. Yes they are heavily confused and scared but they are only restrained. Not hurt

This awful and cruel. I don’t understand why you are trapping these animals.
