Wildlife Wrangling (Part 2)

Another day and another raccoon in the trap. This is the third raccoon from this spot in back of the barn. The first two raccoons were very passive and easy to deal with, this one must have been part Tasmanian devil. This raccoon was released at the same location as the second raccoon.



I've had an inferred game camera aimed at the trap and I checked the photos today. It appears that while the second raccoon was in the trap another raccoon (most likely #3) was also at the trap. This game camera photo shows the door on the trap closed and a raccoon on top of the stack of cement blocks.



As I stated at the beginning, I placed the trap behind the barn to catch a pesky woodchuck. This photo from the game camera shows the woodchuck standing next to the trap while raccoon #3 is in the trap. Maybe the woodchuck has learned more about the trap than the raccoons did. As of this afternoon, the woodchuck was behind the barn playing "Peek-a-Boo" with me.
