I've done a lot of trapping and big red soda and corn work just fine.

Guess I could do that Charles. I've had it on the pit before and it taste good. Just don't want my dogs to see it after I catch it. They are real gamey and it would be bad news for them if they tried to trash on a coon.

.22 to the ear in the trap, clean trap n bait it again. U using live traps or foot hold? We used to use a steel 55gal drum, hole cut in top bout the size of a 5gal bucket, sardines in the bottom of of drum, 6-8" tree limb leaned up against the drum to allow the coons to get on top of drum n drain sardine juice up the limb. We dang near caught them all out on nearly 2ac in the winter/fall time back in the late 80s early 90s.

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!

I use a live trap, but that 55 gallon drum truck sounds like it will work like a charm. I know they want corn bad. They chewed the funnel up on my feeder so it would pour it all on the ground. They are 100# in three days!! With a little help from the deer. |

Id set me out a barrel with molases n corn n c how many u catch. U can even put a thing of water for them, as to ensure they r treated humanely n not tortured, like some foljs do to hogs n other animals that we dont know bout.

Sour corn and dust lightly with strawberry gello. The gello forms a coating that they just can't resist and I spray sow in heat all around the outside as well.

Why would u need to vent it? There is good size hole in the top, no need in puttin any more holes. Durin the fall n spring months, we would ck every 24hrs, winter n summer was every 12hrs. Put a water trough or bowl in it so they got water. |

I put 50lb of corn, 1 cherry mix and 1 strawberry mix jell-o, water and 5lb of sugar. all mixed up in a 55 gal steel drum with the lid on. Temps should be mid 80"s this week. There's 3 fist size plugs on top, I have one removed, I just didnt know if i need to seal it up, or just let it breathe. thats my question. Thnks
I'm gonna try and bait my honey hole with this every week. Along with my ususal fresh dose of Motor oil. Loggin does have some benefits lol.
