Chernobyl Raccoon Egg
Cap for Dog Proof Raccoon Trap
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.

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)
Dog Proof Traps that Chernobyl Raccoon Egg have been used on.
Duke Dog Proof
Z Trap Dog Proof
Minnesota Trapline Bridger / T3 Dog Proof
Freedom Brand 2 Dog Proof
Freedom Brand 1 Dog Proof
No BS KO Dog Proof
Fleming Dog Proof
CAUTION - Chernobyl Raccoon Eggs – DO NOT FLOAT – So when using near creek or water keep that in mind you might have to go for a dip to retrieve it.
I do not know what they will do in fast running creek when it floods – Can only assume that it has enough flat surfaces that it will tumble down stream on the bottom.
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.
Helpful Hint: Tighten nut slightly with 7/16 socket and add lock tight
Do Not add lock tight if you are going to mount inside of cage traps so you can disable or to replace base at a later date. |

This has stuck with me after reading. Maybe this information will help you or organization!
“Just sat through the last two days of a convention with our trapping organization.
Maybe we didn't do a good enough job of presenting ourselves, but other than other folks that already do a little trapping, I would say there was a ratio of less than 1 out of 5,000 of the attendees that showed any interest in trapping. The folks that I did speak with, I would let them know that all the other things that they were doing for turkeys would only have limited success if the predator population wasn't kept in check.
The folks attending the convention were more interested in "Stuff" more so than they were in doing anything for the turkey. Most of them do not know or show interest in the legends of the sport but are quick to track down the young social media sensations of the day. It's a real eye opener to see the generational differences and what they see as important.”

DOG PROOF TRAPS - TIPS
This is not the only way, just my way of using Dog Proofs. Maybe this will help someone getting started.
Multiple recommendation incorporated from brother and sister trappers’ suggestions from over the years.
I keep my Dog Proofs prep with quick links and brass tags, cables, pliers, and DP setters in one ammo crate to start.
Once it’s empty, I just store till time to pull traps for season. Pliers and Setters will go in tools ammo box rest of season.
I am setting 84 acres of oak/hickory forest – Logging roads ridges, edges of food plots, orchards, watering holes, 2 lakes, and streams – But drought still hasn’t gotten much flowing yet.
Ziploc bags have a specific length of cable and keep them from being tangled. 9-to-3-foot lengths This happens to be around 4 feet.
|
|
I cable to a tree with limbs, so I don’t have to worry about the Raccoon climbing in this case edge of logging road on ridge top, entrance of food plot right in front of rut that holds water. Then I quick link it to dop proof swivel.
You can make it quicker if the loop is bigger and allow Dog Proof to fit thru and have everything attached already – Myself I want it where it can’t come off tree without set of pliers or cable cutters. You can add an extra J-hook and crimp it down to the cable for extra theft deterrent. Or even add another swivel if you want.
I set put trap on my thigh and use Dog Proof Trap setter or long screwdriver works also.
I add my bait which can be about anything, I don’t like sticky in Dog Proofs prefer easy cleaning at end of season.
Plus, I keep all my bait, fish oils and scents in separate boxes.
IN THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT IS DARKNESS!
For 40 plus years dog proof trappers have fought rain, mice, wind, and darkness!
Only 1 overcomes them all!

The Moon might block out the Sun, but it can’t touch the POWER OF THE EGG!
In the absence of light is darkness – Watch your dog proof traps disappear for 4 minutes during eclipse when everyday it disappears for 8 hours day as the sunset.
Raccoons are sight and scent hunters – Why excluded sight?

Compiled Raccoon Bait List Page
Then some type of Dog Proof covers or topper “Marshmallow, Solo Cup, Tin Can, Golf Ball, Coffee Can, Refrigerator Magnet, top of Tin Can, Tin Foil, or Egg” whatever you decide. Nothing is wrong, I used it all one time or another.
Then you can use some type of trailing scent or NOT – Your choice might catch a raccoon or opossum that is not downwind of trap or on opposite side of road. – Fish Oil, Shellfish Oil, etc. in this case I am trying out persimmon scent oil.
Good Luck Brothers and Sisters!!!

What is the Shore Hardness Scale?
The Shore Hardness Scale, created by Albert Shore in 1920, quantifies hardness from 0 (the softest and most flexible) to 100 (the hardest and most brittle) for various materials. Resins are measured on the Shore D scale for rigid materials (as opposed to Shore 00, Shore A, Shore B, etc, which are used for other types of materials).
Below is a chart outlining the Shore ratings of some commonly found materials
Chart Of Shore Ratings
Shore 00 is for very soft gel materials:
Marshmallows and gummy candies: 10
Chewing gum: 20
Gel shoe insert: 30
Silicone mold: 50
Shore A measures the hardness of flexible rubber materials.
Rubber band: 25
Inner tube: 40
Pink eraser: 55
Car tire tread: 70
Skateboard wheel: 98
Shore D measures hard, rigid materials.
Golf ball: 50
Shopping Cart Wheel: 60
