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 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.

2021 EGG TEST - Based off the 75 years of research on Wild Turkeys nothing NEW, it's been the same story, only difference today no fur market and less trappers. Raccoon is the No.1 Nest Predator!
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.
