Saw some great feedback on the squirrel hunting tactics request, so I thought I’d ask about the masked bandits.
Stupid question, but do these things only come out at late night early morning? Is it normal for them to be seen out during daylight?
Can they be called in, using mouth or electric callers?
Ive heard others say baiting is best. What type of bait?
Last question, and this is for validity really, is it true a home made trap can be made, by drilling out a hole in a heavy log, like a deep augered out hole, then something shiny dropped into the hole. The raccoon reaches in to grab that shiny gadget, grabs hard and makes a fist, and now he can’t pull his hand out cause he’s determined to take that shiny whatever. So, in essence, he’s trapped. A guy recently told me that, and I had to ask on here. When I asked him what size is the augered out hole, he didn’t know.
