I tried tuna, he avoided the trap and got in my dumpster instead. I'm thinking he may be trap savvy.

Ahhh, that's what all those alerts were!

Still no raccoon and still no Zelda babies. I set the trap with some stinky canned ham that had probably been on the back of the bottom shelf of the pantry for 20 years. No luck. I never was good at palpation, Zelda looks pregnant... As of today she is officially late and hasn't even pulled a...

But do they like it better than fresh chicken?

The babies are fat and squirmy. Both mom's pulled tons of fur. Zelda still has not pulled any fur and does not appear to be in any hurry to do so. The raccoon didn't go in the trap, but he did come back and raided my garbage can on the other side of the house. :he

Still no raccoon... But there are eight more healthy babbies! She had nine but one was DOA.

Still no raccoon, but now Brownie is pulling tons of fur! :bunny

I went out to make rounds. No raccoon, but 10 healthy kits with fat bellies!

If that question were presented to me under similar circumstances Id have to say "Yes, and now I have to turn it up even louder."

Another late night tonight. I replaced the tuna in the live trap with mackerel, hopefully it will yield results. Posey is pulling hair like crazy and a winter storm is supposed to hit around midnight, lots of snow and Sub-Zero wind-chills... I have multiple reasons to stay up tonight. Good...

I am going to go buy some tin today and hang it around the roost end of the coop and then use some chicken wire and 2×4s to make divider wall inside the coop so I can secure them into the roost area at night. I have had my hens for over a year and this is the first problem I have had. I had...

Still have not caught the raccoon. I am using tuna for bait now. I'm soooo tired. I keep nodding off at my post in the chair by the back window. I have my alarm set to ring every 20 minutes to make sure I don't fall asleep hard. I hope I catch him soon because I don't know how much more of...

Well, if you ever have a problem at least you know who to call! :lol:

It's a welded cage style live trap that a local trapper builds and sells. I've only used it for feral cats before, but it was designed for raccoons.

I'm sitting in the waiting room at Firestone waiting on tires. I hate sitting around waiting on things. All the magazines here suck, not a single Western Horseman or Backwoodsman... Good thing I have BYH! After I get done here I'm heading over to one of my Rabbit breeder friends to take...

No luck. It will be another late night.

Insanely tired. I just checked again. No luck catching the little bastard yet. I checked the rabbits wile I was out too and it was a good thing that I did... One of Loretta's babies had crawled out of the nest. Something else to be paranoid about. It is way too cold for that crap.

I heard a noise and went out to check... The bastard managed to steal the piece of chicken carcass I used in the trap. I reset it with some tuna... But my luck he's going to be full and not come back for the tuna and I'll have to stay up all night tomorrow night too. :he

Hamlet? Do you believe in ghosts, greybeard? I'm open minded about them but I am starting to think that many can be chalked up sleep deprivation derived dillusions. The coffee isn't working and my trap is still empty... right now I'm thinking of a different Shakespeare quote - 'We are such...

Good think I'm not planning on sleeping... That's what nightmares are made of.
