    Damned raccoons

    It's not legal to relocate raccoons. They must be euthanized or released on the same property it was caught on. Applies to pretty much any critter that you can be legally trapped. The ones you can relocate, beaver, groundhog and muskrat, need landowner permission to relocate. Good luck getting...

    Damned raccoons

    Raccoons make great garden fertilizer. Dig hole, plant raccoon, pur 4-6" of wood chips on top and you can grow some big plants

    Damned raccoons

    Just catching them at the feeders is enough to spook them off for a while. That's why I don't set traps on feeders when I'm doing work for hunters. Why I tell guys to stop mowing around the feeders let the grass grow so trails can develop and catching predators around feeders here a lot easier

    Groundhog tactics?

    Groundhog tactics?

    No need to fill up holes on a groundhog den to see if it's active. If there's trash in the hole, they aren't using it. I trap nearly all my ghogs. Rarely do I pull out my .22, .17hmr or .223 unless one just happens to not have the smarts to disappear when I pull up in the truck.

    Groundhog Population?

    This time of year you should NOT be hearing coyotes. They generally go silent when they have pups till about mid August or so when the pups start hunting with their parents.

    Groundhog Population?

    I get paid to catch the things and they're booming in towns. Golf course I play at is littered with em
