Im always warning my mom about the owls and raccoons.

Yes I've been trapping raccoons for 10years and in Texas they love the fishy smell and if they do not fit the cage they will not go in.

Boost the shit outta this y'all

So cute!

i was noticing that and thinking that too.

They know who the food provider are.

Turtles and tortoises don't feel that range of emotion. Stop anthropomorphising them.

@@kevjames4236 just because you use the big word doesnt mean you know everything. its obvious to anyone with common sense that animals trust and love ppl who treat them right. those turtles do know they can trust/love/depend on kenan and idc what big fancy words you use to dispute it.

Catch racoon & feed it to your lol fish. You'll need a meat grinder, though, give them fishies some racoon burger. It's the ultimate dunk to eat your predator. :)

@@choreboy988 although that sounds badass, its not adviced to do as raccoons carry many pathogens and diseases.

There goes your supper panface

Raccoons dont wear their masks for nothing...

@@choreboy988 ew, that’s messed up.. we’re living in their habitat not the other way around

Devastating man….thanks for reaching out!

Hey kamp they live in your backyard you need to check everything and cut trees because they there

Get the raccoon!!!!!!!

Feed it to slink

@@KampKenan ever think about getting a guardian dog?

They learn who the food provider is! They are very intelligent and will follow whoever brings the food. My turtles know I am the one that feeds them and will follow me but no one else lol.

Turtles don't have the concept of love.

@@prawngravy18 killed the vibe

@@prawngravy18 love is not a concept.. love can be a wide range of emotions and mental states. also can you prove that statement?? where is your evidence animals do not have love emotions?

@@apotheos5341 He has no evidence. And yes, even if it is just loving you because you give them food, animals can love you, and other animals. Even within human culture, there are many types of love...

also the raccoons fear dogs... barking dogs scatter them get a recording of a dog barking that loops every 30 minutes it barks.

Yah and maybe sensor lights

1000%, the cellular or wireless ones too so he can view them from a distance.

Yup that's what I've been thinking throughout this video. Some good trail cams that pink you via your phone. Maybe bury your dead too so he can be sure they're not new dead ones and they'll still decompose/ not draw and animal in to where they are to eat them or other animals around.

@@jai8064 Those are shit. He could easily run wiring in the ground to the critical spots and use high res IR ip cameras.

@@sinenomine4540 those are expensive as shit. I’d do the wireless cameras for now ASAP

I was thinking the same thing. even if its not something that will kill the raccoons, just something that is loud enough and had the drive to chase them away

they will eat the turtles my grandpas hound dogs used to tear them apart on fishing trips when my grandpa would throw them to them, the midwest is fucked up.

Carpet bomb your yard with traps.

Almost every time I see them on trail cameras it’s a family of them moving together.

Wyze cameras are pretty affordable

@@henrybriley1334 Yep always

Maybe use a deceased turtle as bait. It's a shame but if it ends it id try it

That’s sad for eveyone involved :(

Double the fence up, put another about 6 inches from the other, wouldn't be able to reach the inner fence, I know it doesn't help now but could in the future

This is a horrible story. Their intelligence and persistence cannot be over stated. What animals were you trying to protect? Did you kill her once you "got her"?

@@hugoh.9694 for trying to survive she deserves to die? I get being upset over the loss of your animals, but that's part of keeping them outside. You have to take insane safety precautions and even then a couple might get taken. To kill a native animal for trying to survive after we've taken most of their land is barbaric and disgusting

@@hugoh.9694 without precautions you're offering wildlife a free buffet. If you don't want your animals eaten, double up your fence, 2 fences 6-12 inches apart and a top or barbed wire that faces outward so they can't climb up and get in, and even then you still might lose one or 2. The only way to protect them 100% is to keep them indoors, keeping them outdoors you assume the risk.

Completely agree.

Try using a an infared scope or camera an walk around your property at night

It's just a reptile

@@KirkLee1983 j

@@KirkLee1983 and you’re just a mammal.

Over the years Kenan has mentioned multiple times that he doesn't like furry pets

kenan likes dogs that are not his. he's a reptile guy you cant change that maybe he should ask Chandler to take his dog with him to chase the raccoon away.

Kenan unfortunately doesn't like dogs that bark, but good idea!

Kenan doesn't like dogs, his or any other dogs.

Kenan doesn't like dogs in general But if the traps wont work then they would have to get a dog It's going to be difficult since lgd dogs are more used to cattle goats poultry etc But it's possible I have seen dogs get along with turtles as for the iguanas and slinky and pinky they can probably protect themselves from a raccoon The larger tortoises might be too big for most raccoons but the medium to small ones definitely need a guardian

I lost part of my soul already this took the other half like dang

@desmond i feel that symbiotic relationship pulling at my heart strings

I am telling ya! Brought tears to my eyes....

Not not just you, breaks my heart..

Totally I saw notification and video title and gasped, then stopped making coffee to start video. 😳

Raccoons don't jump.

@@twizz420 You are out of your mind for typing this when all you had to do was scroll up to the search bar and type 'raccoon jump' to be presented with myriad videos of raccoons jumping.

@@twizz420 oh yes they do! You obviously know nothing about them to type that! 🤦🏻‍♀️

That was my first thought too! “You spent all this time putting in an electric fence just to provide the perfect bridge to get in!” Hopefully he sees some of the dozens of comments pointing this out and adjusts the placement of the trap.

Get two then. If it's stuck outside, it will be lonely.

That man's not gonna fly to Florida for one raccoon lol

@@ayeme9246 it may not be just one.

I think Sherni was his main racoon hunting dog :(

Sadly his racon hunter got hit by a car

@@CynthiaPrice79 he wouldn't fly there for a dozen racoons lol. Kenan can take care of it.

Shouldn't kill animals for doing what comes natural. He just needs to get a dog or two. I had the same issue except it was with my chickens, obviously you can't pen the turtles at night but a dog would help deter them.

@@parisinthe30sx we can agree to disagree. Stealing is stealing tho in my eyes. We put time and resource towards raising birds as a hobby. We attempt to deter or relocate when we can. I agree on the dogs it has made a world of a difference for us. But with the dogs it’s more humane if I get to them first I can guarantee that. My hunting dogs got a nice little set up outside and with the hound out there at night most things get deterred by her sounding off.

Good idea

well he did not check Electric fense so..

Fences go out randomly, mine has before too and sometimes it’s hard to know it has right away. I’m sure he feels bad enough without all of the ridiculous commentary on these threads.

exactly what I was thinking

Not always they also travel alone

Agreed, get someone with a good hunting dog. A Hound will find that thing right away.

Otto would just try and eat everything there.

i just said the same thing

This is such a good idea!

I concur

His coondog was hit by a car. :(

Very heartless comments. Having dogs attack and kill Racine which are only doing what they were born to do, (instinct) is absolutely barbaric. I wish you all were racoons. 😡

@Shane K i know riiiiiight!!! Robert Arington who've known for over ten years on youtube(as well as knowing Kenan Harkin from his teenage bmx days) will have No freaking problem tracking and catching all these suckers in a cage within a day or two. Ive seen Robert bait deer,elk,wild hogs and raccoons with a sugary yellow and white corn(candy corn mixture)and it legit always worked(btws humans can eat this bait too) But let me explain something since i jave personal experience with raccoons: "Kenan your enclosures in the middle of the yard that house the turtles are far too low,not to mention Raccoons can climb dude,they will use the trees to climb or climb and jumb from tree to tree." Hunger is an animals teacher,you ever been on the end of starvation where you goal is survival? 👀 thats how the wild animals think, they don't care you have momentary value in your pets free roaming outside,they are hungry and do what they will abd shall do for survival. Please Robert Arington over for some deep undercover thermal images so you can catch each Coon one by one

Exactly what I was thinking watching the video.

🤯

yeah. yet the trap is too small

For sure!

Wtf is spay/neuter return

@@bevandarke2300 it’s to control stray cat populations in neighborhoods. You catch stray cats, spay/neuter them, and return them back to their feral life so they cannot breed

@@sierrab.1373 but they can still decimate local wildlife..... Australia is doing it right.

@@DRaquascapes yeah I’m aware, stray cats kill off many native birds and other wildlife. I was just responding to his comment on what spay/neuter and release was :)

@@DRaquascapes look up the vacuum effect.

I w3as going to say the same thing . A dog or two that would at least bark and let Kenan know something was on the prowl at night ?

He could invest in a livestock guardian dog. They are breed for that sort of thing.

@@AlanSurgeoner Better 2, dog are pack animal. One alone is too much job. Maybe one very big an another one more agile.

poison would do the trick

@@HellSkater19 Poison could also take out other things that he doesn't want to kill. Also using poison is cruel it slowly and very painfully kills whatever eats it. So if he has a dog or cat they could also eat it then slowly and painfully die.

I was thinking the same thing. With 2 acres he has the perfect setup for a livestock guardian dog. Farmers up here (New England area) say that just the presence of a dog is enough to deter most pests. Dogumentary TV is a great channel with lots of informational videos on different guardian breeds (because when I'm not watching reptile videos, I'm watching dog videos).

Yep..... had trouble with badgers going after my barn cats kittens. Killed 3 of the kittens before I got out there. Next day i put my female Anatolian in with the momma and kittens. Next nite, lotta noise and fighting. Came out and dead badger. Badgers are bad ass but no match for a 150# LGD.

@@highplainsdrifter9995 wow kangal are savage killing a badger not easy

Guardian dogs are better in pack. Like for example 3 dogs with 3 different functions, the muscle on, the barky one and the fast boy.

Most dogs will go after the turtles and tortoises unfortunately. He’d have to keep them out of the areas but good idea 👍

as a vegan i would shred the f&&@king racoon evil things just rip up dogs and eat like very tiny percentages of the animal like the racoon was literally just killing the turtles not so much just eating them like i would buy a shredder an shed mr coon while i drink my yummi smoothie✨🌤🛥🍹🍹🍹💖🍼🤍✨

@@cremekimmy4995 Calm down. It's a raccoon, it doesn't have morals. You can't blame it for killing other animals. It's what predators do.

@@cremekimmy4995 this is why everyone hates vegans

@@cremekimmy4995 That doesn't sound very vegan :P

Livestock guardian dogs work best with flock animals. He’d be spread too thin trying to protect many different pens of reptiles who don’t stay together and are therefore harder to protect. I think Chandler said he got his to make his nosy neighbors stop trespassing

@@JackOfAllTrades0404 you can train dogs to pick up raccoon scent, different type of training than livestock protection. Blue tick would tree any raccoon that tried making his way onto the property

What about a couple of terriers

@@sharpshooter00111 yeah that’s what I was thinking: an animal bred to hunt not protect. But then I worry about the prey drive turning into more of a problem than the solution with regards to his lizards if they ever got out; my 16lb terrier has tried to attack gators and iguanas almost as big as him. When he saw them run it was like his instincts took over immediately. Kenan and his wife said they don’t want a dog in one of Chandlers videos though anyways and once these raccoons are gone the electric wire will be checked regularly so I don’t think it will be an issue going forward.

Brenda Shadley Shadley I know, I was joking

I vote for raccoon vs slinky

Agree. I think it would be a good idea to have a livestock guardian dog, or maybe something a little more gamey patrolling the property.

@@aina3387 they're also quite greedy, unlike other wild animals some of them just gorge themselves, it's not good for a balanced ecosystem when they get like that either. I mean eating a single leg on an animal and then killing more instead of finishing what you hunted isn't natural, they get too greedy when they have free reign of prey like that.

Goat make good guard animals

Yeah a good sized dog, that stays outside and knows not to chase the turtles.

THIS

Boils it down to an entirely new perspective.

Native yes. Also over-populated (unless the Bernese python has already done a job on them), highly destructive and vectors of countless diseases and parasites communicable to humans.

@@hugoh.9694 Part of the ecosystem, nonetheless.

@@Oorlich95 A WAY over represented part of our ecosystem for sure. With coyotes, wolves foxes and bobcats so drastically reduced in numbers now (and the puma essentially GONE), it's no wonder they have reached plague proportions. Left unchecked, just like the exploding swarms of rodents that take over Australia every few years, eventually they too will start eating each other just to survive.

@@hugoh.9694 I live in rural Appalachia, and we definitely aren't hurting for coyotes or bobs. I hear the cats in the surrounding fields every couple months and the coyotes patrol the property at night. The raccoons don't bother us nearly as much as the bears or the coyotes.

ey man thats the racoons territory just like his animals need to eat so do the wild ones..catch it relocate

@@A1Bokeh coons are pests you fool

@@Ryan-tq9wr so are many humans

@@killerone547 letting what happen ? And no they aren't you can't just kill humans dummy. And iguanas are considered pests too and people just shoot them and id imagine most people who are like Kenan would think that its a dickhead move. Hence why he himself didn't kill it. I guess the sht eaters are just exposing themselves

With truly honest due respect. That is incorrect. They dont always hunt,kill, or eat out of necessity. They do kill because they can, it's there, and the temptation for a little snack is there. There has been several recent(within the last few years) studies done on this topic as well that I will happily try and look for to provide my sources as I dont remember right off the bat and It was a a couple years ago when i read about them in school) anyway, they have found that a majority of raccoons living in human populations are almost never starving and has constant access to food either directly from humans, or indirectly from humans, by being fed by, garbage cans, compost bins and piles, and live food sources of pets, livestock, crops/gardens that attract other smaller prey animals etc. so more than likely they aren't poor starving animals just desperately in need of food. Regardless, they have been many times over to also kill for the heck of it where more often than not, they dont even eat the animal they killed or they eat a small bit and leave the rest to waste. When an animal eats out of necessity, they will either eat the entire animal, or if too much to eat in one sitting, they will take the carcass, or bury it to save and est for later. Given that there were several raccoons here, and all had just legs eaten/torn off, it is more likely they were not at all killing out of necessity. With that, it is still animals doing what they are programmed to do, which is understandable. But just like they have every right to do what they are naturally programmed to do, we have the right to stop them from doing their thing on our property. In nature, animals have territory, dens,young, food source, etc that they will kill to protect. There is no reason we cannot do the same. We are not some random aliens that showed up out of nowhere taking over animals home. We were here along with them and we too are a part of nature just the same. I already left a similar comment above and would like to apologize again for my English and grammar. I am working on it and hope I was able to make some sense of my rambling.lol I should add that when i say animals will kill to protect their territory etc. I am NOT advocating for him or anyone to kill any animals that come onto your property. Especially when there are other options such as catch and relocate etc. But, there are instances where sometimes its necessary or the only best option.

Ok good to know. I still love Kenan's love for his animals. And their have still been 296 senseless killings/mass shootings by humans this year of humans. That was only my point.

People always say that humans interrupt life but were apart of life. Not that I condone hunting in anyway shape or form other than population control or survival. If a racoon is killing your animals hit that fool with a 50 cal

I'm surprised he shared the details of this experience as it casts him in not a very good light. He seems like an awesome guy. I LOVE anyone who loves animals. Especially as much as he does but he really needs to be willing to get his hands dirty in order to preserve their lives against such a tenacious predator as raccoons.
