CHERNOBYL RACCOON EGG - VIDEO'S

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!

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)

CHERNOBYL RACCOON EGG - VIDEO'S

September 2023

​Never expected this but ended up with awesome video.


If I can’t have the Egg, I will just take the Cage! Power of the Egg. Egg eating DNA is in this Raccoon!!!


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.

Chernobyl Raccoon Eggs on the Radio
​8/2/2023

Human error - I made a mistake with the 1st Big Boar Raccoon on the 17th – I put the trap right back in the same hole from the Raccoon I caught on the 16th. Raccoon pushed trap right over, and I did it again but the trap stayed this last time.  I did move trap 4 inches.

He needs to quit chewing on my Chernobyl Raccoon Egg after they finish his meal. They are going to chip a tooth. Not his first egg to break open, but not this time.

Then cold snap and the fact that I burnt this area off on Sunday stopped them from coming for few days.

But either way, didn’t like the fact it ate bait out of trap without setting it off. So added a Gummie Lifesaver to the trigger along with the bait. Seems to have solved problem.

At least the birds are happy, keep eating the food around the trap.

​Chernobyl Raccoon Egg Strikes - 2023 Trapping Season

Turn up Volume - Seems everything is eating the bait before the Raccoon shows up. Blue Jays, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Cardinal, Tom Cat, Raccoon.

Coyote Howling is my favorite part, for a second, I thought a Coyote was going mess up a perfectly good raccoon trapping. That would be switch!

Well you done caught me, I might as well chew on my new Chernobyl Raccoon Egg.

Chernobyl Raccoon Egg - That's how you chip a tooth!!! - 2023

That’s how you chip a tooth!!! Raccoon tried to bite open the Chernobyl Raccoon Egg, that’s how you chip a tooth, might as well bite into a Q-Ball, this had the North American Trapper “The Magnet” lure in scent holder base, then dug into North American Trapper Raccoon Bait

Chrenobyl Raccoon Egg with Scent Holder Base - 2023 Testing - Great series of photos and playing with Chernobyl Raccoon Egg. Raccoon Smelling the Scent holder base creating a feeding frenzy to feel the need to feed.

​Chernobyl Raccoon Egg Test 2023 - Final Bait Test and Scent Holder 2023 Test

No. 1 – Non-traditional Raccoon Bait - Shelled Corn with added Big & J “To Die For” - Long Range Attractant with Crawfish in scent holder base of the Chernobyl Raccoon Egg. Corn was added to the “To Die For” so the Raccoons had something to grab. The aroma of “To Die For” seemed to put it over the edge when you spread the fine dust around trap.

No. 2 – North American Trapper Raccoon Bait with North American Trapper “The Magnet” lure in scent holder base of the Chernobyl Raccoon Egg. It was always between No. 1 and No. 2 setups almost too close to call.

No. 3 – Dry Cat food mixed with grape Kool-Aid with Crawfish in scent holder base of the Chernobyl Raccoon Egg did the worst – Raccoons would not always hit it, never first and only after the other two baits where gone.

Additional Information. I caught 1 the first Raccoon – Then decided to see which bait they preferred with a unset traps. Next round the Raccoons won’t be so lucky. I did cat food only, cat food with grape Kool-Aid, no lure, with lure, to die for only and to die for only with corn, the above was the final best options.

​They did remove the cotton ball with lure in base every time, but always went for the bait right after.

​Chernobyl Raccoon Egg Interaction 2023 Testing - Awesome short video to SHARE of the Raccoon flipping over Chernobyl Raccoon Egg, then enjoying the crawdad oil in scent holder base, then going after the food inside dog proof. Added re-runs zoomed in and slowed it down……………..

​​The Egg Test - Eye Appeal Only Test

Wooden Egg on top of a Duke DP.

Trapping Season is over in Missouri = Test only

Trap is not set, completely cleaned and no bait or scent.

I consider this a complete success and acutally better than I ever thought.

The Egg caught the eye of Rabbit, Multiple Raccoons, Coyote, Bobcat, Groundhog and Armadillo.
Reason I am trying this to get something that checks all my requirements.
​
1. To keep bait dry in trap,
2. Keep mice out,
3. Eye appeal for egg eaters,
4. Easy to make,
5. Easy to use.
