I figure before I deal with the coyote I've seen twice now in the last month, I probably ought to deal with the coons that ate my fish and keep knocking down my bird feeders.

I ordered a dozen of these traps, but I'm going to start with live cages. I want to make sure I don't trap the barn cats while I nab the ones nearest to the house.

Going to paint 'em (try to prevent rusting).

Bait tips welcome. I know marshmallows are popular (look like eggs I guess).

I've heard raccoon is tasty.
