I had the same problem with baiting the live cage traps. My uncle showed me to dig a small hole so that the bait is level with the ground and then set the trap on top of it where the trigger will go off. Give it a shot.
I have a raccoon I've been trying to trap for months, but so far he has evaded everything I've tried, which is everything in this video and a few more things. He either steals the bait without triggering the trap or trips the trap without getting caught. I've tried hanging the bait, burying it under the trap, tying it to the back of the trap and wrapping the trap in a blanket--nothing works. Anybody have any other ideas how I can catch this critter?
Jeff: If you make any more youtube videos please jack up the volume !! Your video is extremely hard to hear on my old laptop and I suspect that has a very negative effect on the number of views and comments. It surprises me how many people take the time and energy to upload videos without being adequately mic'd up. I had to add this video to a playlist to watch later by casting my laptop to my TV which has much better speakers. But I wonder how many people would be willing to do that.

Most country folks know this information, it’s the city dweller’s that need educated not just about the value of the trapper but the regular use of a tool called a firearm.
Opossums have been in this world for +65 million years, they walked with dinosaurs and they survived their apocalypse. I am pretty sure they will make it long after humans and our greed is gone.
I hope you relocate the opossums. They are marsupials-- the only ones we have in North America! Excellent pets!!! Wonderful animals , and they don't get rabies, unlike cats and dogs.
Louis Concordia Possums are the least likely of mammals to have rabies. Plus they eat thousands of ticks each year. They eat snakes too. They are mire beneficial than anything.
bank80 they might be least likely but they still get rabies and yeah they eat ticks but that’s not a really big problem and also snakes a highly beneficial to rodent control
Put some food out for the opossums and raccoons that will save your nests!! A bag of feed should be good for about a week; you can actually relocate the animals by moving the feed source away from your property!!!
Fuck you i hate these fucks especially racoons and opossum nothing worse than living in an suburban or urban area and have racoons holding your garage hostage. Cage trap+ dog proof trap+.22 or co2 pellet =😊
Do you like eggs at breakfast, sure you do. Well raccoons have to eat too. nature has to provide a way for all animals to eat and survive. Just as you eat to survive. without barbaric steel traps

Great video and I agree with it. I do wish you had put the link of the wire box traps in the description below. Thanks for the video.
This video has inspired me to get out and start managing these turds I see less turkeys every year. Time to get to work
They do a number on nests.
We take out all the nest predators. Regardless of what the bleeding heart folks say. I’d rather see more turkeys and quail anytime!

Caleb Carty Good ideal Caleb I'm going to try that one
And as a way to save your bait you can use a tin can like from a can of veggies and bury it.
Excellent video thank you!!!
where can u find those cage traps
Amber Tucker home depot
2:42 opossum has very little value in the market but they make great dog food plus they taste like wild turkey and have no funky glands
Can you upload recent stuff??
Evan Swift You like trapping?
Very informative.
Thank you!
I have the same xtra large hilltop trap. I have to wire bait to the back in order to get it to trigger the door to shut.
Did he just pull a marshmallow from his shirt pocket🤔😂🤨
Raccoons love marshmallows!
great video
Bobcats and raccoons foxes coyotes they eat the Turkey eggs
Those cage traps by Hilltop cage shop cannot be found anywhere on the Internet, anyone know why?
Aliens
Have a heart live traps
They are called live traps
Look for comstock traps. BEST on the market IMHO. Those and Tomahawk cage traps.
I use peanuts on cave traps, just drop them between the wires on the top.
I have trouble with the raccoons scaring away the mature bucks that’s at my feeder and they eat up all my deer corn
All PETA MEMBERS...roll tape at 8:25. Get informed.
Sorry, but I can not find anyone with the kind of trap that you described. Can you provide more info on Hilltop cage please?
Andre Fr Search eBay for raccoon traps..... hilltop is a big seller of trapping supplies
Thank you P, I will ck eBay rightnow.
Sorry P, eBay just shows hilltop outdoors supplies, lost of dukes, havahart , I will keep looking for it.
Ok .... google hilltop cage shop ... there is a business in Louisiana, Mo showing up under that name
Andre Fr do dog froof traps
I can catch an opossum every day for 3 months and next year they’re overpopulated. Same with coon

Tie it to the center of the back like before but put a foot trap just to the left of it.
Shoot it.

You guys put food out in the wild what did you expect?
Dog proof traps can catch cats if they are a push pull if they are just a pull a cat cant set it off as far ass i know
No thing wrong with catching possums, they're good for possum stew.
Chicken is better for possum stew.
In the US are about 40 coons per square mile….we got some work to do…
The music scared me
great opossum
matteo cabrini those things need to be killed with fire!
@@KirarinStar & you're probably just some ignorant little girl that knows nothing about the positives Opossums do for the environment. Shut up MORON.
It time to thin some out ! Tear their ass up !Lol !
Cause his thing said professional trapper and that is not true
Fake
messed up
This is true, it's messed up the nest predators get protected but the turkey, grouse etc have to take the hit.
Opossums have been in this world for +65 million years, they walked with dinosaurs and they survived their apocalypse. I am pretty sure they will make it long after humans and our greed is gone.

TastyCritters So just forget about the turkey and quail?
Relocation is usually just a slow death and possums reproduce at a ridiculous rate anyway.
All mammal have rabies you stupid fuck I’ve shot possums with rabies in the middle of the day attacking my dogs

TastyCritters fuck you

@@booster5329 its a possum, if you feel intimidated by a small marsupial then you are a pussy
Torture opossums
Possums are hardly predators
Bullshit you dont know much about possums. They eat lots of ground nesting birds and eggs chickens etc...
they kill birds just the same as coons
They are nest predators. Go educate yourself.
Do you like eggs at breakfast, sure you do. Well raccoons have to eat too. nature has to provide a way for all animals to eat and survive. Just as you eat to survive. without barbaric steel traps
Shut up management is a necessary deal
Your home is not wrecked from rodents I bet.
You don't know what you are talking about. PERIOD.
