very good point vette, but here is the loop hole , i trap nuisence animals for a guy , the landowner can claim the traps as thier own and adam is just a steward for the land owner, it works for any nuisence animal , we talked to our g w about it cause they guy i trap for works alot and doesnt have time to set the traps and check em every 24 hours , the traps i use , were baught by me but "loaned " to the land owner
Got your point Kat but the "wrong" GW will nail ya on who's name is on the name tag. If your name is on the tag then you set it and if it was "loaned" to the landowner his name should/needs to be on the tag. If there's no tag at all there's no defense no matter who set or was loaned to who. Do what ya like..just sayin':

Talked to the landowner this morning. Seems I was behind on my rent for the barn. I paid for last month and this month in full while I was there.

On another note. I talked to my WO yesterday since I am thinking about branching out this summer and I will now be calling the District office today and requesting a free nuisance permit. That will allow me to do this for others in the area and get PAID :D.

The application will be sent out today in the mail. Just need to fill it out and mail it back and wait for the ODNR to validate and sign off on it :D.

Now that I have had more then 10 min. at the computer I can add the latest.

I went out and checked the live traps in the barn late this afternoon since I had other things that had kept me busy all morning. I open the slider door and look up in the rafters at the trap I had set up there and notice it was moved a little and looked a little different. I look a little closer and notice some dark blob sitting all the way back to the back. I climbed up on a lockable food bin that is about 3' tall so I can see a little better. Low and behold another fuggin coon...SOB.



I told the landowners this evening that we need to get some of those holes closed up on the barn so the coon stop getting in there.

New Totals

10 out of the barn
2 out of a den tree out back
2 in the DP outback

If you close those holes up do it now before they have kits in there. A momma coon will rip that barn apart to get back in to her kits.

I don't think they will close up those holes. The barn cats she has uses them to come and go and I don't think she will block them out. They will just continue to have a problem with the coon as a result.

They are just lucky I'm not charging them $40 a coon to remove them ;) or maybe I should and that would get those fuggin holes closed up real quick lol.

I have a 3,000 square foot hay barn that sits above a cattle lot. Has maybe 30 round bales in it.. There is a solid trail of coon crap all around the walls. Every rafter beam, and most of the hay has coon crap on it. The cows have been out of pasture since November and were in the lot. The barn also sits between two corn fields not 40 yards off each side. My coon hunting buddy has a ADC permit and we set 3 cage traps in there Friday. Got 1 that night and the other 2 traps had been moved and set off. No telling how many we're going to pull out of that barn.

Your going to have a ton in that barn. A nice place for them to get out of the weather and no foot traffic to bother them....that is going to be a handfull lol. One big ol den for um.

Tuna and/or corn will work wonders lmao

I was amazed how many I have gotten in this barn and almost everyone of them was caught with feed corn.

Landowner got another boar coon this morning. Bringing the total to 3... However 1 got away. I was transferring him from her trap to a rolling cage so she could reset the trap and accidentally hit the release on the catch pole.. AGAIN!!! Nothing like having a noose around a big boar coons neck, then dropping him right at your feet!

(A "rolling cage" is like a big hamster ball used to train coondogs.)

Oh hell...that's not a good thing at all buddy lol. Surprised he didn't want to climb :smiley_crazy: Glad he decided to run the other way.

I need one of those catch poles. The landowner has one because of the dog kennel and she said I could use it if I ever needed it but I would rather use my own since they will tear it up over time. Would make it fun with the DP traps :D.

Dante and myself went out groundhoggin and I checked the trap in the barn. Found a nice female in the back trap this afternoon.





Turned out to be a good day. Dante tagged a ghog and I blasted one and sent him running and shot it down open sights on the run with a follow up shot lmao.

11 out of the barn
2 out of a den tree out back
2 in the DP outback
