I have a Coon Problem...
 

Guys:

We have a terrible problem this year with coons at our deer ranch in Texas. They tore up almost every feeder between Labor day and Oct. 30. We put varmint gaurds on some of them and then they ate through the solar panel wires.

Years ago I read somewhere to put a coffee can with sardines and antifreeze in a tree and the coons will eat it and die. The trick is to put it so dogs and hogs cant get to it.

Has anyone ever tried this or have another idea? I don't want to disturb the least at night shooting them.

this method is not for the faint of heart or public view. lol

X2. Man u should not ask some ? On a public site. Just saying bro.

Somebody rang? :cool:

You should electrify a silver wire around your feeder.because everyone knows coons like shiny things.

Take the cheapest cokeacola you can find and mix it Gold Malrin fly crystals. put the mixture in a old bowl and set it in the feed pen. Coons will drink it and won't make it out the pen. End of coon problem

Shoot dat them clean smoke and put in gumbo

What about everything else drinking it. Drought in texas. My thoughts are anything that comes by is going to drink it.

These work great. You will only catch coons with these. We use them in texas. We set two or three the first night we are there and almost always catch in every trap. use marshmallows as bait. They cant resist. Unless you have a bad red ant problem they love marshmallows too. But these traps really work well.

I cant really figure out how that trap works by lookin at it.

They are extremely attracted to fox urine. If you use some in a live trap you will catch coons. No doubt.

Deer won't drink it and the pen keeps everything like hogs out. Works like a charm

Oh and this is in south TX

looks like the marshmellow goes in the tube and they reach in for it:confused:

I figured id come put my "two-sense" in on this post!!!!

as smart as coons can be they are pretty stupid! They stick there hand in the hole to get bait and thier hand wont fit out hole with clenched fist and they wont let go! The trap pictured looks like it may have some kind of spring loaded deal to trap the coon but its really not necessary.

I still laugh any time I see this pic!!!

It's one of W's favs, too.

Sorry I missed your B'day thread, man. Glad it was a good one.

The pick I use is dedicated to a lake P guide!

Guide? Which guide? :eek:

Funniest thing you ever posted is the confused monkey pic.

Do NOT poison the coons!

This guy got caught putting out Temik for coyotes, no more hunting for him for 3 YEARS:eek:

Hell, just sit around and shoot em one afternoon or hunt em at night, much more fun than sitting in a stand watching a corn feeder:)

Guy I work with mixes red pepper with crisco then rubs feeder legs down, he said they can't climb it and its funny to see when they rub the pepper on their face

i bet that is funny!!!!

To keep them from climbing the legs, take pieces of tack strip like for laying carpet and zip tie them onto the legs. Use three pieces for each leg. They'll still come in and eat the corn on the ground, but they can't climb the tack strips.

Axel grease on the legs will stop them
