Trapping Raccoons with Dog proof Traps 2016

[@ericgunter45]

might try some sweet, sugary baits. skunks seems to like the fish/meat baits. probably not totally skunk proof but may help.

[@IllinoisTrapperOutdoors]

+Eric Gunter I was thinking the same thing. Hard to beat that fishy smell but marshmallows seems to work quite well as an alternative. Thanks for input

[@jakethompson9572]

If you use a pole with a needle and syringe filled with some acetone. They won't spay at all. Had a buddy get 5 last year non of the them sprayed

[@Hayden-t7l]

Im reading through these anti Trappers comments right now and let me tell you one thing I'm laughing my ass off they have no idea what they are even saying just a bunch of ignorant idiots. they think that they're doing the right thing by saying that trapping is evil but really be honest there just embarrassing themselves and Great video.

[@IllinoisTrapperOutdoors]

+RippingLips3 Thank you and if I ever need a good laugh, I have gone back and read some of those crazy comments. They are just crazy idiots lol 😂

[@willdwyer6782]

Golf balls resemble eggs which raccoons love to steal.

[@robertbartush509]

Great videos! I trap a lot in north central Texas area! I feel you on those possums and skunks, they never seem to stay away from the traps.

[@IllinoisTrapperOutdoors]

Always wanted to chase some cats and coyotes down south. Especially in Texas. Hope you have a great rest of the season my man!

[@josie4peace]

Leave them alone!!!

[@dpfritz1066]

What do you do with the possums? Sell em whole or skin and try to sell em?

[@danwilkie1051]

Shoot a skunk in the spine they spray when their tail goes to a 90° angle with the body. Without spine they don't move the tail. Good luck

Where do you sell your pelts because i want to get into trapping but i dont know where to sell them at

[@rylangames9954]

Rob Ellenberger online sites like eBay amazon

[@GFarrow20]

Great job guys! Keep up the great work in being good stewards of the land

[@prideventues]

What is the reason..........I am interested? Are raccoons stealing something or possums? Possums usually help with getting rid of bugs that hurt crops or eat deer ticks that spread disease.

[@IllinoisTrapperOutdoors]

Thats the first time I've heard that. Around here possums and raccoons eat chicken eggs. The animals I catch get skinned and sent to Canada for the fur trade.

[@prideventues]

Illinois Trapper Outdoors Ok. Just interested instead of attacking someone about something I don't know about. I have been a bow hunter and firearm hunter since I was a teen in the late 1970's. I live in a bigger city, Philadelphia, but we have one of the largest public parks in the world. I see on a regular basis deer, fox, groundhogs, chipmunks, squirrels, possum and raccoons, and even a wild turkey because I live a block from the park. The possums are known to be good for gardens in our area. Raccoons and Possums live right in trees in many city regions and actual city neighborhoods, eating out of trashcans, etc. They can be pests but are just a novelty pretty much. The most fear is about rabies in raccoons in the city. Now I understand how they are utilized in your region. Thanks for the education.

[@prideventues]

Illinois Trapper Outdoors BTW: I subscribed because I like learning about what you do and your show is really good!

[@IllinoisTrapperOutdoors]

appreciate it! take care

[@mhr5586]

You obviously don't live in the country. Raccoons are beyond destructive. They kill chickens and roosters. They spread rabies disease to dogs. They steal deer food. Just worthless. Shoot them all.

[@scottcomella2264]

16 oz. hydrogen peroxide, 1/8 cup baking soda, 1/2 tsp. any liquid soap. Mix a ND apply, must make physical contact. Will neutralize skunk scent in about 3 seconds. It neutralizes, does not mask scent.

[@bennyhassan1398]

OK I got racoons in my backyard and freaks me out when I take out the trash, What's the best way to get rid of them without seriously hurting or killing them? I just want them gone.

[@IllinoisTrapperOutdoors]

+Benny Hassan Hello, thanks for commenting. Best way to get rid of them is to use a live trap. They are simple to install and you can easily relocate them. Best bait is marsh mellows. Don't put anything meat based you'll catch a skunk

[@masonelrick]

live traps

[@danwilkie1051]

I don't mind catching skunk. I find that after catching a skunk that trap normally will catch more. I trap coyotes, bobcat, and raccoons. I use skunk as a call lure and cover sent on almost all traps. Good video thanks for sharing long forward to watching more

[@danielharris3827]

bring an airgun to dispatch your skunk, then heart shot him! The quiet pinch doesn't alert him.

[@NathanH83]

Hey, I’m from Illinois too. What part of Illinois are you from?

[@manjoe9043]

where are u located that weather looks nice I miss it. we only have it few weeks or the year. good vid

[@joemontiero5978]

The raccoons are telling the possum there is free food down by the creek lol that's why more possums

[@spencermartin9893]

Love your videos, fuck the haters they are inconsiderate citidots that thinks that meat grows out of the ground...Keep hunting/Trapping and doing what you love and keep making awesome content

[@josie4peace]

Leave the raccoons alone, please. Please don't harm them. :(

[@Growinggolfing]

Doing gods work my man. Every time I put crab meal down for my plants, a damned coon digs them up. I have learned the ways through your videos and will eradicate the raccoon species from my property. In the words of the dude “this aggression will not stand, man”

[@IllinoisTrapperOutdoors]

You bet. Give me a buzz sometime my man. I called you today no answer, hope your doing better

[@lorinkramer1524]

The possum may be playing dead and you planned on letting him go; "he's a little guy." What's your method of releasing animal from a DP trap? Just in case those "little guys," come to life.😆

[@Alpha1545]

Everybody is saying they stay in the woods because it's their natural habitat and this is not true. They eventually end up on your property and into your trash and then into your attic or basement and scrap with your dog or cat and dig holes and eventually it is a problem. So getting them in the woods prevents this 90% of the time.

[@arieltrapp5103]

Cool video! Very informative.

[@cory9572]

Just picked up some of these dog proof traps. First night 2 of the 3 traps had coons. Great traps so far

[@josie4peace]

Leave the raccoons alone, please. Please don't harm them. :(

[@Bayan1905]

So what do you end up doing with the possums? I never hear of them being worth much after trapping. Raccoons are finally starting to get a little better when it comes to fur prices, certainly nothing what they used to be years ago before the greenies ruined the fur market.

[@josie4peace]

Leave them alone!!!!

[@kevinclark3557]

catching the opossums helps to pay for your gas anyway....I don't have a way to keep them from spraying but once you get them out of the trap I have a way to get the funk outta the skunk...1 pint of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, 5 gallon bucket 3/4 full of water, a big squirt of Dawn dishwashing soap...then just give the skunk a bath in the solution and that should remove the funk so that you can skin them out......works awesome and we also use it on our dogs if they get sprayed....I make a ton of money selling skunk pelts so you shouldn't let them scare you

[@IllinoisTrapperOutdoors]

+Kevin Clark Awesome. Thanks for the info, I'm sure this will come in handy when I get sprayed for the 2nd time! Lol

[@coolaisiankid]

What do you do with them

[@IllinoisTrapperOutdoors]

Skin them out, and sell their fur.

Hey, skunks don't like to climb. Put your trap up higher, and that should solve that problem. Also, Opossums are actually a good animal. How do you release them? That might be a good video. Sorry about the ignorant haters on here.

Is there any valid reason to warrant catching raccoons in a forest to kill them? Are they impacting anything or do you just want to kill something/anything? They aren’t in your house or affecting anything from what I can see.
