Just an advice YOU will need to put a predator apron Around your coop You can use CHIKEN wire or something Like that Before you get all your CHIKEN ate 😟🤨🥳
Hi Kelly, what a wonderful video once again! So with trapping the raccoons another bate that you can also consider using is to save some leftover fish that you guys get from your fishing trips for it. Raccoons love to eat things from the ocean too. That way you won't have to spend extra money and time to go get the dog food or worry about your kids reaching into the trap to get the peanut butter and captain crunch. :-) By the way, I love the Jack Russell that you guys have. Now I am considering getting one for my little one too! Thanks again.
It was worth it just to see Gabe move that fast at the end. I mean the dude will wade through gator infested ponds, but bolts from a baby coon. Hysterical! Another awesome vid Kelly.
@@jeffadams7134 I remember almost 55 years ago as a kid, my dad told us all to run inside the farmhouse. A rabid coon was walking around our house, mid-day, gnashing his teeth. My dad popped him with a 12 guage pumpkinball. I had a blue tick coonhound, we killed 50 coon per year along with my cousins and their redbone coon dogs. Only 2 of those raccoons were rabid over a 10 year span, 500 coons plus. Most raccoons aren't rabid. But they can get that way on rare occasion. More likely foxes or bats.
@@turdferguson5300 Raccoons can kill a dog one on one, especially where I'm from in the northern USA where raccoons get 50 or 60 pounds. Even smaller coons more southward can put a hurting on a dog.
@@stevemeek1994 i know right... hmmm... I guess that is how evolutions work .. like that of penicillin against bacteria... 🤣... you just can't win... but submitting to the evolution... dumb wife..
Kelly put a tarp over the trap and put marshmallows in the trap the big ones you'll catch them every night I caught 13 in one week trying to get into my chickens good luck yes
I’m with Gabe, a raccoon is a badass to tangle with. You will lose trust me. Kelly you are simply the most beautiful woman both in and out. Love yours and Gabe’s channels. Wish you both nothing but the very best of everything.
I understand the bleeding heart Ms Young, but I am against turning that raccoon loose. All you did was pass your problem off onto someone else. I like the egg dispenser though
Yeah a reason we don’t have a good quail population in central florida. With the trappers disappearing the numbers of mesopredators is getting wild. Hope they don’t kill off anymore ground nesting birds.
Until you've seen a raccoon in full alpha mode, it is hard to comprehend how aggressive they can be. Try climbing a tree to shake one out to get full appreciation.
Oh my goodness Kelly, great job. Thanks for all you do for the Biys! Walt & I are going to go over & catch up with mr Gene & see all of his feathered friends 👍💗
I've had good luck using large marshmallows in the traps for raccoons, caught 3 of them over 2 nights. First, I tried using cat food and tuna fish, but all I caught were possums.
Wow!! Bluegabe can move if he needs to. I've only ever seen that sort of speed once before, when a colleague got a fright from a snake, and seemed to teleport from one spot to another several metres away.
LOL...9:48....love his shirt, I have one says the same thing but different! Awesome neighbor Kelly! My gf distracted me but I finished watching...he was soo cuddly looking...lol, poor kid. You got to find a baby one now and raise it to love the family! I also agree with Gabe..."you never had one attack you", he who ran the fastest and farthest away! GO GABE!
I've been trapping coons for years to keep them out of my chickens. What they'll do to a chicken is terrible. They usually bite the head off and drink the blood. When you set the box traps use a long steel pin to secure the trap to the ground. It's also a good idea to carry the trap with a pair of leather gloves to protect your hands and use a broomstick to open the trap when releasing the animal. Good luck!
Be careful where you release raccoons. In some states it's illegal to move them across county lines (due to the spread of diseases) and generally if you don't take the raccoon around 10 miles away they can or will find their way back to your property . Typically if you move a raccoon off your property to public land , you are just creating a nuisance for nearby neighbors when the animal decides to raid their property..
You should have named this episode “The Trash Panda Special”! Gabe was right to run like mad because while the look cute they can be very aggressive and really nasty in a fight- been there and starred in that show…. Nope, nope, nope! Don’t wanna do that again. Thanks for the great video, it was good entertainment.
you are a true animal lover...........i wouldn't be able to kill him either ..........let him go to a new home way far away from yours...........good call Kelly...............
Great Story....Need to be very careful around Racoons, they are vicious, very sharp claws & teeth and high chance of Rabies..... They routiney fight with Dogs, Bobcats even Cougars, they are fearless, although very Cute I am surprised Jake didn;t insist on a Daniel Boone Racoon Hat....LOL
Next time you set that trap, work the wire at the bottom down into the dirt or the mulch so the bottom is just like the area around it. They will shy away from walking on the wire cage but will walk right in if the bottom feels just like the outside.
ONLY AN AMAZING PERSON WILL KEEP HARMIT CRABS AS PET, YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON...i GREW UP IN A BIG OPEN FARM HOME, WITH SMALL CROPS DUSTER PLANES, TRACTOR, DUCKS ALL KINF OF VIDS, WHEN I WATCH YOUR VIDEO, IT BRINGS MY CHILD HOOD BACK.
Miss Kelly do you think you could kill the coon had it. Killed your turkey and chickens. After investing all the money and time you and your family have. Just wondering here in east Texas.
I like Mr gene! Super AWESOME! He was trying so hard to get him a quail to snack on. He would have eventually dug a hole under the fence and stole eggs and would have been a slaughter house
KELLY AND GABE: MY ANGELIC SERIES OF 16 VIDEOS IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC VIEWING ON "TRUTH BRONCO WITH BILL WARD"! NOW THE PROVERBIAL QUESTION OF "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE ON EARTH" IS NOW FINALLY ANSWERED!!! I ALSO PERFORM NINE OF MY ORIGINAL SONGS IN THESE VIDEOS!!! HANG ON TO YOUR HATS! IT IS NOT A SMOOTH RIDE!!!!!!!
I have had raccoons nest in my attic three times. I would seal up entry way and she would rip it off. Caught 17 raccoon one year. Relocates to wooded park five miles away. They can be disruptive
Gabe totally wussied out on the racoon release! Pretty cool but not as pretty as Kelly's composer. Love both your all's channel's. Let me know if you want to catch some big catfish or sturgeon on the Snake River outside of Boise. Would be cool to meet you guys and put big fish on thr end of your line.
They're good eating! You let food better than swamp rats go. Time for the pellet rifle. Sorry I just don't like live racoons they are too smart and super destructive.
Watch out for opossum they will eat the head off the grown chicken and eat all of the babies I had them getting into my chickens I removed 5 opossum before I stopped losing chickens love your and blue Gabe channel and deermeat
Hey Hey Boo Boo you have to smarter than the average Raccoon. Them Raccoon will get you when releasing them I have a Rope tied on my Door. Enjoyed it Kelly
Raccoons are NASTY on a chicken coop!! So are opossums! Use a can of tuna fish with the live trap and puncture 3 holes in the lid with an "old school" triangle shaped can opener to bait them in!
Gabe has every right to scream and run lol. I hunted coon for years not only do they bite but they will jump out of the tree and climb up a person to get away from the dogs. They might be cute but one of the meanest animals in the wild
Puppy chow (dry from a bag) and mini marshmallows in a small pile at the back of your live trap. Sprinkle a few mini marshmallows along a center path into the trap and a few in front on the ground. Make sure you stake your trap to the ground. I've caught hundreds of coons this way. To let the coon out, flip the cage upside down. The door will open and the coon can exit.
I had a strange little garage apartment years ago when my wife passed away ...In the early morning I would see deer and some descent sized animals cutting through the yard . Well one evening I heard some noise on the porch which is upstairs of course . When I opened the door there sat a pretty hefty racoon . Like Gabe I wanted nothing to do with a Racoon that might be carrying rabies so I shut the door real quick . There was bag of trash he got into with chicken bones and other stuff in it but he was gone . I found a screen door in the garage and mounted it . Plus I didn't leave anymore bags of trash on the porch...problem solved . As cute as racoons look I'm sure you know how agressive they can be . PK
That raccoon attack must have really been something, since this is the same guy that jumps in the water with alligators! Then again there is the popsicle stick situation, so who knows… 🤷♂️😅
This video was fun‼️I learned a lot ‼️thank u for not killing the racon 🙏🏽….the funniest part was 🤣watching blue run like hell 🤣🤣dude was gone in a second 🤣
I just use a sardine can with a pc. of sardine in it. I make a hole in the can with an ice pick, run a pc. of thin wire through the trap to the back and secure it to the back. Put a stake of some type to hold the trap down. I also use some type of cinder blocks around the back to keep there paws out. Put some bricks on the top to hold the trap down. Do Not put the trap on any kind of floor, like rug because they will pull that into the trap and make a mess for you and can scratch your floors inside. I have caught many coons in this way. Find some one that will get ride of them, and remember they can cause Rabies. I just feed them Lead from a 22 and bury them. They will come back if you release them. Kelly you might have to put some heavy wire in the ground all around the chicken coop, they will dig to get in and you could lose some chickens. Fix that hole around the pool. Becarful sometime they will come back at you and always wear gloves. Good Luck !
I fasten my live trap to a piece of plywood that extends 10” around the edge of the trap. I found out a raccoon can still dig to China inside a trap. My bait is always a piece of bread with a big clot of cheap jelly. What’s really peculiar is the raccoons never come out of the trap alive. So strange for a live trap.
You need to put your bird and chicken feed in a container that you can fasten shut. make sure it has a lid that a racoon can't open that either clamps shut or is too big for the racoon to put it's paws around and take off. You could also put it in a 5 gallon bucket and put a concrete block on top of it.
