Corn Stealing Raccoons

frankwright · Feb 6, 2018

are raiding my pig feeders. I have had eight at once.

I asked the landowner about a trapper or hunter to come in and thin them out but he is real particular and I am lucky to be able to hunt there.
If I wanted to try some traps I saw, dog proof coon traps and put around my feeder, I guess I would be trapping and I assume that requires a license?

I have never trapped anything and just want the coons thinned down or gone.

I guess it would be legal to sit out there all night and try to shoot some.

They are destructive as heck too, chewing through wires and everything.

Got a buddy that adds a cup full of diesel to a five gallon bucket of corn. He says hogs love it and it keeps all the other critters in the woods from eating it. Have not tried it my self. I need something to add to corn to keep the hogs from eating and not the deer.

I thought there was some sort of mention of Raccoons in the hunting regulations ? But I don't see any mention of them being game or non-game ? So are there no rules whatsoever on hunting them ?

They are considered small game. Illegal to hunt over bait.

I have also heard that fact too BUT I have never tried it either. I am just glad that the hogs have finally left my property for about 18 months now.

Of course, I have over a dozen raccoons roaming my property 24/7/365 unfortunately and they LOVE corn too as they will try to vacuum it up before any deer have a chance to eat any.

Get you some of these and learn to use em. Better hurry though. Trapping season for coons goes out the last of the month.

You betcha Nick I use them all the time. They work like a charm. The coons are bad about getting into my corn from the deer feeder, birdfeeders and they love my cantilopes and melons in my garden.

So do I need a trapping license to use those?
