Daughter's first raccoon set #7037274 11/03/20 09:07 PM 11/03/20 09:07 PM

The bait is garbage, because of course coons eat garbage, and some of daddy's "raccoon smell", which was some trailing oil. It's an egg box turned upside down with one flap held open by sticks, the idea being that when the raccoon goes to eat the garbage, it'll knock the sticks over and get caught under the box. I thought no it could use some better staking, but they're convinced the raccoon will just stay in the box. I'm not sure it's gonna connect, under the swing set isn't exactly prime coon location

Then mention to them there set connected but you dispatched it because it was about to get away ha ha Allan

Oh man please video that. I can just see their surprise and them jumping back when they lift the box.
