TEACHERS OF THE NIGHT - RACCOON
... DVD Only ...
$49.95
by Predator Control Group
Raccoon are child’s play to catch, right? I guess that is true for the ones we catch, but what about the 2-8 that we as trappers don’t catch at a set. You will learn a new way we as trappers should be gang setting. The old way of stringing 2-6 sets on a stretch of creek is missing the boat. You will see why you are killing your numbers if you drown a coon at a set. Again the camera does not lie. The habits of the coon are not what trappers have read about all these years. If you want to take more coon, you have to understand what a coon does at a set. You have to understand how a coon reacts to a conibear and oh yes, they know it’s there. One thing will become clear to you is that a raccoon is not a simple animal to catch. The way a raccoon uses his nose and sense of feel is nothing short of amazing. It’s up to you, stay in the past and catch your normal amount of coon or you can start working on the other 300-800 percent that we as trappers are missing each year. Copyright 2007
