One tough critter
« on: February 11, 2015, 07:03:46 PM »
I went out and set a few cage traps for raccoon  :dunno:  just for fun.
Well I caught one that was just a little mad  :yike: and he tore up a Tomahawk cage trap  :yike: and got away  :bash:
All I can say is he is one lucky critter

A tough one!  He made quick work of that cage.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I don't try to trap them because they are so hard on cages.

Thats part of the reason I have avoided them most of the season, plus the fact the hides are almost worthless this year.  :bash:
