How To Release A Raccoon From A Live Trap
มุมมอง 49Kปีที่แล้ว
Lots of videos on how to use live traps to catch critters, but not many on how to release them, so this video will cover that topic.
If only someone would think that far into the idea of an animal trap and make one like that!!!
So I was trying to catch a feral cat and ended up catching a huge possum last night. This video has helped me tremendously. I've caught raccoons in the past and got my cousin to release for me but I'm on my own tomorrow😂 This was the video I needed to see. Thank you
I had a den of twenty or so racoons living under my deck who I fed cat food at night. They never destroyed anything. They would even take turns eating with possums and the two feral cats we had fixed! Cool, sweet creatures.
Thanks for the info!
These traps are a terrible design for actually releasing. Terrible.
How did the cord pull door up and push other thing back?🦇
Thank you! It worked great!
Nice job Robert.
Used this same method with the wire for opening the door.... worked great this morning.... Rocky is now in his new digs 10 miles away.
They so fast!
😊👍
Excellent video! Thx!
He likely died within months if he is in unfamiliar territory. Especially with a transition from city to woods. Fact.
There's always that one guy...
Thanks for the video
Most Americans remember when Barack and Joe said "You can keep you doctor and it will be far cheaper." well guess what! that was a bunch of Bull Crap.. aka lie..
Joe you without a doubt increase our taxes by allowing 18 million illegals, and the reason why you hired 78,000 new IRS agents.
Thank you!
THANK YOU Sir....rest of videos...done by idiots...that don't know what they doing
That is genius. Worked like a charm!
thank you
Poor Coon😢, dumped in a strange area, no shelter, food or family.I hope he survived.
Right? this is awful. They rarely live more than a couple of months when relocated like this. It's also illegal to do in some places.
I wish I watched this video before I had a pissed off squirrel in my trap!
Great release method, Mr Eckard. Thank you for sharing. I've used a spray version of rubberized dip on my trap to minimize damage to the animal's forearms, something Havaheart could be doing. Keep managing your land and have a blessed day.
This was a huge help. Your cord trick to open the door worked like a charm.
Thanks for the video. You're right, very few videos on how to release them.
My trap has a release on the other end.. much easier.
great idea with the string. Thanks!
Thank you.
Great video can you believe how stupid the people that designed this trap were. Unbelievable!
I just caught a troublesome squirrel and knew some kind soul would tell me how to safely get him out without getting myself bitten! Thank you so much! I like your release area! I will do the same type of area for this guy!
put bacon in trap, caught rabid raccoon that killed the neighbors dog, dnr tested it
The one in my cage is highly pissed off! I’m waiting for a professional!
Thank you!
Had a very large one who was very agitated, opened the door, it went about 5' stopped and turned around to look at me. I was prepared with some wasp spray, one shot and he decided to head in the other direction. Caught this one when the trap was set for a groundhog. Do not like dealing with them since large ones can really tear into a trap and they can carry parasites that are transmittable. Big ones can be very unpredictable.
Did you ever think about the rest of the animals that live where you release that raccoon? If everyone does that then the population will be too high. They are still going to travel, maybe find the closest houses trash cans or small livestock and have at them. If you have a problem raccoon and decide to do something about it, please suck it up and don't make him someone else's problem.
Yes I think about where I release the animal. It is miles from any people or areas where it could get into trouble. Its a very large wildlife area swamp on the Tennessee River. The ones I release are young ones im giving a second chance at a better life vs old boars, which I just dispatch
@@roberteckard4063 If you catch raccoons so frequently, there is an overpopulation in your area, so you don't need to release them and in fact you're helping maintain nature's balance by dispatching them.
@@oczhaal Actually developers are clearing 100s of acres behind my farm for homes and stores. My little oasis is 500-600 acres now surrounded my million dollar homes and soon to be homes and shopping centers. So the wild life is running to my property, with no where to go. I do what I can to save some. I have more deer running around now than a state park. I cant trap them so they end up on the hiway, typically destroying cars and trucks and a few lives. Now we are fighting off the many wanting our land now that we are surrounded. Imminent domain they have tried that a few times, dig up my property and cut my hundred plus year old trees to make room for the sewer lines and power poles. Come walk my shoes and then see how you feel then.
@@roberteckard4063 I understand better now that you gave some context. Big real estate will ruin the countryside sooner or later.
@@oczhaalseems rather ignorant to speak up on a scenario you have little no to info about. Maybe trust the guy who opted to show you the info in the first place
They do scoot when they realize the door is open! The ones I've done in the last couple of days didn't even look back or say thanks! LOL I find putting a blanket over the cage when you transport or even when you carry it, makes the critter a little more at ease. No need for extra trauma. I like the welding glove; extra protection up the arm a ways.
Yep put a tarp over the trap when I got a skunk in there.
Good video! I just trapped and released a raccoon this morning! He moved into our barn in late November. He was sleeping in a horse stall feeder, then he found his way up into the higher parts of the barn. I could hear him crawling around in the walls, and decided that now’s the time to get rid of him. I took him down close to the river that’s near us, opened the door, wearing welders gloves, out he ran through the snow to a big cottonwood tree and climbed up. It’s getting warmer now, and though there’s a lot of snow, I’m sure he’ll be able to find food and shelter.
That's fine with junior, but when 40-Lb grandpa is in your trap and really PO'd, he's not going to be so meek and timid.
Ive had a few of those. I didnt bother with relocation. The more docile ones, I try to give a second chance, in an area where they are miles from any places they could become a problem again.
you can still calm it down with a well placed ,22.
Check local laws, in Ohio it is illegal to re-locate a coon. I pour them out of the trap, after giving them a lead pill the buzzards need to eat also.
The local county law allows me to relocate within the same county. Yes always know your local laws.
No clue how that was tied.
I just tied a piece of wire, one end to the spring handle to pull back and the other to the bottom of the door so I can pull it up. So with both ends tied you just pull the wire and it simultaneously pulls back the spring hinge and lifts the door open. Now keep in mind, if that little raccoon was upset, you can drop the wire and make a run for it, but Ive not had that ever happen. They are always ready to go the other way.
You could just give it to me.
Just the video I was looking for... Thanks!
Glad I could help!
✨Thank you!! 🦝😊
Glad I could help.
