Yes barbecue rib bones work really well.

hummmmm. Have you ever tried BBQ coon? Very good. Wonder if the leftover bones will work as bait again?

Getting close to that time of year here.. when they start teaching their Young how to hunt they like to visit my chicken coop.. even though they never get in they try night after night. Always causing damage.. living by a creek doesn't help either. The creek is a coon highway.. when enough is enough they take a dirt nap... Shame no one traps them anymore to keep the population down some..

I do miss those days of hunting and trapping furbearers for money. A large female raccoon would bring 40.00 easily. The 2nd Tuesday of the month we would take all of our pelts down to the stock yards. The fur buyers would line up tables all around the parking lot. We all had our relationships with different buyers for different pelts. I had a "coon" guy, and a "mink" guy and of course a "bobcat" guy. In 1978 I made a little over 30 thousand dollars on just pelts.
A lot of hard work, but it was all outdoors.

Can of tuna will bring em in like a dinner bell, heh. Noticed a fox poking around the chicken run area tonight. We still have a bunch of snow so going to get up early in the am to see where the sly one went.
