Do the coons mess with your bait. No matter how stinky I make it, the coon are all over it. Sometimes they set the trap off.

@@outdoordiy4884 ​ Oh yea I used to. Raccoons are opportunistic omnivores which means there really isn't much they will turn down , as long as its free and easy they will eat it . I try to bait an area for coons with leg hold traps or even cage traps . to clear out the problem causers before hand or even during . Sardines and cheap dry catfood for bait. The best way to avoid unwanted animals, though, is to change your trigger to a root bar or a trip wire.. This way you can adjust the height and sensitivity better. I prefer a root bar and a Guillotine drop door. Once i switched to that set up , i almost never catch anything other than hogs, and can usually catch a few at a time with a trap you size .

piglets too small to eat, coons , possums , and any other unwanted meats or scraps all go into the meat grinder, and are either used for a maggot farm for the chickens or cooked up for the dog food .

Now that the hunting season is wrapping up. It’s time to start catching pigs and processing the deer my family harvested. So those will be a few videos and cooking real people style. Not the cooking shows way. Appreciate you Sam. What part of the state you hunt.
