Chernobyl Raccoon Eggs dog proof cap with scent / lure holder base made to protect your raccoon bait and enhance your raccoon bait.
Helps keep mice, birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and pack rats from eating bait out of Dog Proof traps. Your trap still has food in it when the Raccoon comes by.
Helps keep bait dry from rain and snow, so that bait is fresh and scent still working. Not 100% airtight so scent can still get out.
Helps with the eye appeal at night, keying off the raccoon’s eyesight of detecting shiny objects. Helps on those nights that the wind is in the wrong direction the raccoon is traveling or moons are not up all night and/or overcast skies at night.
POWER of the EGG - The No. 1 Nest Predator - Research going back to 1948 by biologist across the nation. 75 years of research on Wild Turkeys nothing NEW they are looking for the eggs. They can’t help themselves. If you ever raised chickens, you know this to be true!
SCENT / LURE HOLDER BASE - Creating a feeding frenzy that needs to be satisfied with bait in Dog Proof!
SCENT / LURE HOLDER BASE
Creating a feeding frenzy that needs to be satisfied with bait in Dog Proof!
You can do this in any order.
Take 1 cotton ball and with small screw driver shove into base aka as scent holder.
The bolt will grab cotton and keep in place.
You can now add lure/scent, fish oill, salmon oil, or crayfish oil to cotton balls before you deploy in dog proof.
Whatever it takes to produce more tight chains.

HISTORY LOST
Trapping Community
Going from the footholds for raccoons to dog proofs in the early 80’s some history or knowledge was lost, forgotten or just not passed along as the type of trappers have changed from fur takers to landowners for management.
It is mentioned in the book A Natural History of the Raccoons - MacClintock page was published in 1981 pre dog proof traps. “Trappers take advantage of this attraction to bright objects”
1933 thru 1981 publication it mentioned – Water Set – For Raccoons, a bright object like aluminum foil, clam shell, or bottle cap wired to pan will act as attractant.
Trapper 1 - In my story “First Catches” which was in Trapper’s World I described how I caught my first raccoon with a piece of aluminum foil on a trap pan in 1962. One of my uncles had told me to do that.
Trapper 2 - Remembers people talking about aluminum foil and metal shiny crawdad's also for trapping raccoons.
Trapper 3 - This is from the FC Taylor catalog shiny metal fish, I used tin foil on the pan, caught my first three raccoons on tin foil on trap pans set in shallow water.
They mention raccoons like to play with bright objects like brass trap tags, soda can tops, aluminum foil, fake crawdads or fake minnows. Even one book has the - Shiny-Pan Set
Scientific Community
Raccoons are thought to be color blind or at least poorly able to distinguish color, though their eyes are well-adapted for sensing light. - (Hohmann, p. 63; MacClintock, p. 18; Zeveloff, p. 66)
Eyes are large and convex, which allows for bright images to project into the retina. The retina contains fewer cones therefore raccoons tend to be color blindness or possibly have “color weak” vision. It may be difficult to detect colors but they can detect a difference in brightness. (Zeveloff 2002).
Historical Literature
Where the Red Fern Grows Chapter 7 – 1967 – Raccoon would stick his hand inside the brace to pick up something shiny (like a piece of a tin can)

August 15, 2023 – Set Trap at the edge of camp, I was going to be at camp every day. Not a great location but handy while I work on camp. Chernobyl Racoon Egg base is removed and mounted to pan trigger.
August 25, 2023 – Closed Doors because I would be back for a few days. But ended up getting sick for two weeks then leaving town for a 3rd.
September 12, 2023 – Raccoon came by to check it out trap finally.
September 13, 2023 – Raccoon came back and decided if it can’t have the Chernobyl Raccoon Egg it would take the cage with him. Started moving trap around and multiple times put it paws around Egg.
September 20, 2023 – Trap was in the middle of my road.

J & H Predator and Nuisance Removal
J & H Predator and Nuisance Removal - I appreciate all of it the eggs are fantastic it even rained last night definitely happy with what you do as well as the research that went behind the eggs! And here in Alabama you are lucky to get one in the country this big but it’s a town raccoon, so you know he’s been eating good! Thanks for everything! This has been a complete game changer for the raccoons and ridding of them faster at that! Not to mention (some of my clients in town) being able to look out the window and see that it’s gone makes them feel safer after a HUGE in house infestation. So I get the update and ultimately they know that one isn’t going to be a problem anymore. You have made a lot of people in our small town happy and feel more secure.

Chernobyl Raccoon Eggs defeats the night, wind, and rain in Missouri –
Over 1” of rain last night, glowing 360 degrees, taking the wrong wind direction out of the equation, and keeping bait dry until the Raccoon came in.
Keeping this Missouri Trapper from wasting time, effort, and money.

Had 1 ½ inches of rain and finally put water in the creek just off property line where I cannot set.
So, I put them in the open where the dog proofs with Chernobyl Raccoon Eggs can be seen at night from the creek, on my side of fence.
Added some Wildman’s Hammer Time yesterday for a deadly combo, before this big front comes in. – Scored a big boar today.

Sorry friend, I am hungry! No honor among Raccoons
Finally got to review all the videos late last night.
Both feeding on the over pour of bait, first raccoon remove Chernobyl Raccoon Egg, then second raccoon made a quick snatch of the egg and chews on it while the other eats, but the best part the first raccoon sets off Dog Proof and gets caught and moves off camera, but then the second raccoon comes back and eats the rest of bait. Sorry friend, I am hungry! No honor among Raccoons

Couldn’t stay away – Thursday’s partner in crime, couldn’t stay away. He got away free and clear, but not before finishing his friend’s food off that was hanging out in the dog proof.
I made sure they had a reuntion.
