i put 1 inch mesh on the ground outside the pen and tie it to the wall of the pen .
they cant dig through it and they are not smart enough to go back 2 feet and start to digor 4 feet depending on what width you buy.put some rocks on it to hold it down, in a year or so the grass has the wire held down .
have a good one

I got 4 pairs of California quail last year.I put them in the pens and the next morning the coons had reached through 1/2x1/2 wire and pulled off all their legs!.I built a wire cage over my pens to keep the coons out.I set 2 have a heart traps alongside the cage and caught 16 coons,2 possums and a skunk in 11 days!!!! I took them all up the road to a dairy farm that has a pond and alot of woods for them to live in,they were free to go.........as long as I missed all six shots!!!!!  I was going to set some of my 280 conibear traps around the pens but I was afraid of catching a dog or the neighbor kid. Nick |

Nothing like a leg hold trap for the raccoons.
You can always let the dogs go.
It's the Fisher cat that get me.

Use a leaning pole set with either a 2 door have a heart or a 220-280 conibear,use a hunk of venison for bait and you'll clean up on the fishers. |

Sharpshooter, Are you saying mount the live trap off the ground and attached to the leaning post. So it is the same set as you would use for a leg hold or conibear. Ok ... I answered my own question.  |

Must be fun to check the sex on it in the trap.
I suppose it would work on coon also.
How high off the ground?

LOL!!! He just goes by size,he's not lifting the tail or anything.Would be fun to watch though!!! He caught one in a 110 set for mink.Pinned it down and took off the trap.It was dazed for a little while but it took off running in a few minutes. The bottom of the trap is 4-5 off the ground.

I live in south carolina and believe it or not, I have a fence around all my pen and I just keep my little jack donkey out there with three goats. He has got to be the best guard dog ever! They are very dominate over property and know when something is there that doesn't belong. He will even take care of most of the snakes if they ever come linqering around too!

Why not put the radio on a infa-red motion sensor to activate the sound? Steve Pheasant Hollow Farm |

I bet you don't say it to gals, a lot. Unless you're at a safe distance, and moving.
That reminds me of a true sorry. Several, in fact.
