I got a couple of dogproof traps around my garden with the bear traps(but smaller) around my raised planter as the raccoons have been taking their fill of my veggies. Momma werent having it and told me that furry and adorable goes so far. Gut em she says... my lil flower.
So far 3 have been dispatched. 2 within the past week . They were thrown into the weeds on the banks of the creek that is in the rear of the yard. Well, Wiley and the pack aint snapping up them dudes and they're starting to get a tad gamey. I'm guessing I'll be digging holes for the next few i get
Raccoons are really destructive, they got into my neighbor's attic and started raiding my garden at night. I set out a live trap and caught two in three nights. Sent them to raccoon heaven. Needless to say my neighbor was very happy. Marshmallows, cinnamon raisin bread with a dollop of peanut butter, they couldn't resist.
Where I last lived, I think I took care of 6 or 8 raccoons. Subsonic 22LR work really great. I also aimed and hit their head. And very little noise.
I got zucchini!!!
YMMV. I tried using subsonic 22lr to dispatch a raccoon I trapped in a friend's attic. It just put it's eye out and I had to follow up with standard velocity ammoWhere I last lived, I think I took care of 6 or 8 raccoons. Subsonic 22LR work really great.
