HELP- More impt than tractors

For racoons, I personally find things like the egg traps or coon cuffs to work well.

Just can't bring them in for the night as they need to use bathroom at the most late hr. Failure to let them out provides wonderful surprise in the morning to deal with prior to leaving for work :)

Once they find a patch of corn they will destroy it. Deer got most of my beans this yr. so I planted a second time to ensure freezer gets some fresh deer meat :)

I find trapping more effort than a kid with a .22

But, to answer your question, are you sure you have 'coon traps? All small animal traps are not the same. Next, if he's moving the blocks, silicone glue or tie-wrap them in.

I live in the boonies where garden predation is solved with 6 strand electrified fences. If you think 'coons do damage, you should see what 12 deer can do in one night... or one bear.

I have killed coons with 22s and 410s, if you want
to do that take a pocket of extra ammo, you will
need it. I recomend using something bigger. The last few possoms I killed were with a 38 special
and most of them took more than one shot.

Keeping the grass mowed real good has worked for me. I live next to some wooded land and used to
have all kind of critters coming in the yard to be
killed by my chows. After I saw one too many
snakes I mowed the grass between me and the woods
I use a push mower and even mow up to the trees.
It isnt that much mowing and I am suprised how
much of a difference it makes. Since then nothing
has come in the yard. Coons like trees and if you get to shoot one he
may be in a tree.
