Coon problem...in dire need of advise!

[slicktrick87]

So I have a small coon problem. I have a group of about 6 coins that are at my protein feeder all night, every night. They wrap their back legs around one tube and use one of their hands to scoop gobs of protein out onto the ground. Obviously the waist of money is a big issue with me. The other issue I have with these thieves is they leave a lot of it on the ground. So when it rains the protein spoils and begins to stink something awful. I bought some coon cuffs and baited them with marshmallows around the perimeter of my feeder pen but they never touch them. I don't have time to give them led poisoning. Is there something else I should be baiting with?

Search Golden Marlin.
I also offer an option for your issue to only have protein in the tube during daylight hours..

GM is the ticket! If not buy some cheap cat food and put it in the cuffs....or cheap sardines or something that smells

Grease the legs

put you some sardines in the traps or whatever you can find that smells fishy.

I have been eyeballing your feeders for a while. The only thing stopping me is money. Once my 90 day probation period is up money will no longer be an issue.

sardines...I guess that will be my next venture.

If you put out GM, your coons will be gone in 2 days..

Easier said than done...I don't know a lot of people that are willing to do that for me.

ants may be an issue now with the heat, so you may want to buy a small can of SEVIN ant powder from Home Depot or Amazon. Sprinkle a little around the trap. If ants get in the bait, which I can almost bet they will you won't catch any coons. Just a piece of helpful advice

Try baiting them with the protein they are currently eating

At the most....and DOA within 20 feet

How would you recommend putting out golden marlin? Deer won't touch it will they?

Wouldnt the smell of a rotting carcass from an illegally poisoned raccoon be worse than a little wet protein?

Move your traps a little further away from the feeder and bait them with sardines or cat food. Then if you don't check them often it won't be stinking it up around the feeder.

And deer won't eat the poison. But a protected animal such as. Buzzard might eat the dead coon, and then die which could and has led to major legal problems. Just sayin...
