Coon invasion at the house :eek:

[BTLowry]

Have Cudde camera on trap I have set for pigs and this morning I got the usual 6am textof last nights pics.

I thought I had a pen full of pigs but when I zoomed in it was coons, 13 that I could count and possibly a few more.

I knew there was a family of them and had intentions of thinning them this winter.
Looks like this afternoon I will be setting all 5 of my DP traps around the pig trap in an effort to thin the dang coons

I have seen the pics on here from various people with a swarm of coons on the feeder but never thought I would have that problem

I will post a pic tonight

More worried about a distemper or rabies outbreak than a bunch eating all my corn too

Get on 'em. Those critters can pull at the solar panels, bend the spinner plate. cause all kinds of havoc. If you have a whole squad of them. Set as many traps as possible and bring lots of 22's

My house is covered up with them, wish I was there to trap them, wife is trying her best with the live trap but no luck so far.

I had this problem at one of my feeders here at the house recently. Good luck on trapping them. Over the last 4 to 5 weeks I have eliminated 16 the old fashioned way. I am still hesitant on using the dog proof traps because I have a couple feral cats outside that are varmint killing machines. Still concerned they would get into these type traps.

They got into mine here at the house. Tore up a solar panel, pulled the cover off and flung, I say FLUNG a new 12 volt battery out and broke off one of the studs in doing so. I had an old solar controller, wire and all the fixin's, so I rigged up a hot wire and ran it around the legs. Oh, and I personally know it works. No problem since.

Brace yourself, in a couple of months there's gonna be more! All the youngsters are gonna get booted and looking for a place of their own, anywhere there's a free handout will be a major attraction.

Killed 5 a few weeks back while waiting on the pigs to show up. Had to sneak back to my truck to get refilled with air b4 the pigs showed. That .457 leaves a big hole in them!!
