To All: And this... my local pawn/sport shop recently got in a batch of "dog proof" Raccoon traps!
They really are quite ingenious and according to some recent purchasers they work very well - again with no chance of a "dog" being entrapped in it.
The trap consists of a steel tube about 8 or 10 inches long with a spring and trigger mechanism inside it - a dogs paw cannot get inside the tube or if small enough to get the paw inside the tube then the leg (arm) of the dog is not long enough to trip the trigger!
Once the Raccoon smells the bait in the tube he sticks his arm down the tube and gets stuck there.
The shop sold out quickly but more are on order.
Hold into the wind
