I tried that and three nights in a row it got the bait, sprung the trap, and sauntered off, feeling cool and accomplished. This is no ordinary raccoon, lol.

Did you close one end and put the peaches all the way in?
Real big ones can keep the door open with their backs and still get the food.

Walked out the ridge behind the house about 100 yards. Found four uprooted oaks that were at least 33 inches in diameter. Big tangled mess with only a game trail for access.
Dropped down into our spring hollow. The hollow was protected from the wind of Helene so only a few trees were busted up. Checked our spring fed reservoir and our two springs. All good. We now have a couple of wells but years ago we pumped water up to the house from the reservoir. Found two whitetail kills. Only hair and bones left. Coyote kills for sure. Back up to the house following the old water line. Busted trees uprooted trees and tree tops all tangled up. Had to crawl under and over.Lots of fuel on the ground and lots of Widow Makers. We will never recover totally from Helene.

Back on the roofs to repair raccoon damage. I'll try to trap it again but have had no luck in the past.
