I decided to trap a raccoon last night....

it may sound wrong, but when you trap them, get a stick.

and not hard, but very sternly give each one a little whack. not enough to break or bruise anything, but more so to associate your trash with pain. kind of like how you can train a dog with a stern smack. same principle, though a little harsher for the outdoor vermin.

Go to tractor supply or homedepot and get a live animal trap- best bait for a coon is to take a small piece of chicken and put into a microwave for a few seconds, this will juice it up - then i take the chicken a put on a safety pin and suspend it above trap release- inside the trap - I also hang a silver spoon with the chicken- the shinny makes the coons curious- I have trapped a lot of coons this way - 6 this year alone- earlier this year coons got into my chicken coupe a killed all my laying hens over a weeks time- coons are very smart and I tried a lot of baits before I came up with one they can not resist- also when you release them make sure to take a long ways off - they will return if let go only a few miles away

every stoner has a raccoon story

true. i've got hundreds of them. :stoned: i love coons, tho, they are the coolest little furry beasts. they will come right up to us if we are out camping and just look at us like they're thinking, hey! just what the fuck are y'all doing in our woods talking and smoking weed all night?? there is decent coon families out here trying to sleep and hunt say . . . is that a hot dog??

you can actually buy coyote urine off the internets to keep them away or yeah, like the above poster said buy a live animal trap at a feed store and haul 'em off, just be careful they can bite and, as was said, can carry rabies.

Get some stuff called Critter-Ridder and sprinkle it on the food garbage. It has hot peppers in it. It won't harm them but once they get a taste of it, they won't come back so fast. :thumbsup:

They won't come back so fast? LoL

Funniest thing I've read all day!

Well, besides killing or hurting them, which he doesn't want to do, what else is there other than using a repellant such as the one I mentioned, or making the garbage impossible for them to access?

Sorry maybe I should have just quoted the "won't come back so fast" part. Didn't mean your whole quote was funny! LoL That was completely my fault! I'm a bit :stoned:
