We have big nasty ones around here that would be easy to kill but, that little guy is kinda cute... You gotta do what you gotta do though, I've lost a whole chicken coop to the bastiges.
We relocated for a while, then got suspicious that we were catching the same coon.
We painted it blaze orange and released it.
Caught it again in 10 days......he was 8 miles away when we dropped him off.
No more relocation after that.
Also, dog proof traps are not...NOT cat proof.
Marshmallows and grape jelly are a better bait.....and not attractive to cats. Unless your cat is from Tn.
A man told me that a stray dog took up residence at his house years ago, and he put it in his truck one morning on the way to work and dropped it off about 12 miles from his house. It was back at his house when he got home that afternoon, according to him.
I have used marshmallows, but usually use dry cat food, because it's cheap and I have it on hand. I'm going to try fish oil, and some other things.

The great bait debate!!!
Since coons love sweet corn...
Why not use an ear or a bunch of kernals of said corn for bait. Just tell the ear he is taking one for the team!!!
Chill out - coons are terrible pests, as are possums.
The hypocricy here is so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Come on, BH, quit actin lika dayom yankee, please.
The truth hurts.
Yep, the truth does hurt.............you. You give the damn Yankees a bad name.
It doesn't matter. yankees, blacks, mexicans you inbred scum bags from Texas and all over the South hate em all. Well the feeling is mutual ass hole. You Texicans in particular are a sad bunch of losers.
I used can sardines for coon bait back when I was trapping in HS.
"Allways speak the truth and you will never have to remember what you said before..." Sam Houston Texans, "We say Grace, We Say Mam, If You Don't Like it, We Don't Give a Damn!"
Watermelons are a good coon bait, as well as fried chicken and chitlins. But, a White woman will catch every coon in the ghetto, as well as welfare check.
Anyone try peanut butter for coons? I trap chipmunks because they ate 200 worth of wiring in my wife's car. Peanut butter works great for chipmunks. Got a young coon once. I used to throw the live trap in a bucket of water and it only took a few seconds for chipmunks to die. Now I just shoot them in the trap with a .177 pellet rifle.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
The Atlanta police department retired all their German Shepherd K-9's and trained a bunch of blue tick coon hounds to take their place- - - - -somebody finally figured out the Germans weren't the ones causing the problems!
