All by myself today
The job had chalnge like blocking his driveway off
the shigles were curled and britle so out came the hooks. I wired the ladder to the gutter and screwed the feet down . Working next to power lines never to safe
set the comstock chimney trap and addapter

Used my poles to drive her up


24" trap with room

Pesky you really gotta learn to turn your pics I m getting a crick in my neck looking at them. But keep them coming .

I did turn them I don't understand

Awesome Video!

Watch the power lines! Fiberglass when 10 feet of power lines.

almost every post shows lack of quality, and lack of safety.

Yes I would have chosen orange safety cones before laying a ladder in the drive way to block off traffic.

If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything
At all!

I really thought they were up right .i flipped them maybe to much . That coon had 8 kits . Haven't seen that in a few

I didnt say anything mean , but I grantee you that someone banging their nice car into a ladder would !!

That was directed towards Bud25 In particular but in
General on here people pick out the bad never the good!

Nice use of ladder hooks.

Do you beleave that guy . You can't park in the drive way

The hooks were a must have Dave on that old roof . We would have been like you damage my roof

Your welcome guys for me taking the time to post this . Sorry the wanta bees got on here acting like I'm doing something wrong . It's funny how you can tell by just looking at there truck . I truly do feel sorry for there customers . It's to bad they need to waste money to find a real trapper . There real easy to spot after they open there mouths . Instead of nagging on me call your dad up and ask him why you have no basic skill of a man . Maybe your mom really wanted a daughter . Could make a brake threw why you have no common sence .

i agree X's 2... way to many "professional" guys in here that "you do it my way... or your an idiot". or... "go do a search and figure it out", or just post a lot of "funny" comments. who wants to get railed on posting stuff in here that people wanna pounce on and show you how smart they are. and yet... i still come in here to see what pesky posts...

Guilty as charged! Pesky I have at times critiqued methods that you have shown. I hope that you have taken this critcism as constructive. This an open forum for the open exchange of ideas. If I see something that I can bring to your attention that may help you be safer or more effective I dont feel theres anything wrong in pointing it out, in a constructive manner. I Have been a full time operator for just over a decade now (meaning ADC has been my only source of income). Maybe I'm quallified to critique maybe I'm not. I know there are others on here with loads more experience than myself.I feel most of the frustration I have directed towards your posts is typically your habit of straying WAAYYYY off topic. But I have also been guilty of becoming frustrated when my posts are over annalized and overly critiqued. You are obviuosly very passionate about your work, I wish I still had that type of passion for my job. So keep the posts coming.

Rick I bet you got some great stuff to post to . Wiggler weather your stuff was good or not it would not mader . That part of the state you live in ,I crave on a daily basis . I cant wait to get up there and do some camping and get out on the big water salmon fishing . Trapper4 I can't really remember what you posted but it didn't bother me . I dint have to show the power lines . I could have easly made it look like that dint like electric . I point them out because I think it's a good idea to tie your ladder to the house when I'm working near them . It took longer to do this job . Because I took the time to take pictures . Do you think it is easy to push a coon up along chimney like that then stop him just as the traps about to go . Then get the video cam rolling and finish the coon drive . I worked to after midnight and missed my dinner . I'm a coon wrangler . I do understand that some company's are to chicken to dive into a coon problem . So your answer is to set bait cage traps around your house and hope you catch the right one . This baited cage trapping for coon will not work on my coon . So ether I scam people or find a new line of work or do what I do . I perfur to take the gloves off and get it done . I do not like wright stuff like this I know that . I can spot a fake from a mile away . I can also read poeple very well
For years I hired and fire 60 people ayear . Two things I learned is how to read people and I'm just better off doing it my self . If you have a suggestion on how to make job more easy then please open mouth . If you wish to pretend you know something about coon wrangling then start your Owen thred . Like ladder safety around power lines . Get a coon . A ladder and some power lines and post picture and or video . The bull stuff stops when the tail gate drops . If you wish to have a coon wrangling contest I have the coon . You can face off against my youngest boy he's 13 . My older boy has been working full time when not in school for a differnt company than mine sence he's was 10 . So would not expect you to face off with him . He's a long thin kid with animal bite scares on his body . A true born and raised coon wrangler . My guess anyone one of my daughters could catch and skin a coon faster . Pretend all you want I can see right threw you . That's why it's doesn't bother me when you rag on me . It's kinda like a joke to me . What bothers me is I take the time to post for my friends then fakes get on here . Acting like running me down will some how make you better or something . If you need training on wrangling coon I would be happy to train you hands on

Pesky, I was going to start another post but since the above post is all about raccoon wrangling and kids, this fits right in. My son really made me proud yesterday. We already know that he's taller, smarter, almost as good looking as me but today I got to see him in action. And he was coon wrangling.

We got a job on a second story porch, where the raccoon had her litter right out in the open. ( And this is not the first time this has happened either ) This is one of the hardest jobs to do in one trip. You have to set the ladder up quietly, climb up quietly, and then be prepared to use the landing net almost immediately.


I watched the whole process from the ground and he had to extend his arm and the four foot net all the way but he nailed her. We caged her and the four babies separately and brought them down so the grateful owner could take pictures. ( She actually watched the whole process from the porch window ) We were lucky, I'll admit, but this is the way to get great referrals!
