What are you guys using for a decoy when calling racoon? I am having trouble getting them to leave the hole. I think I need something visual to get them to move.
I use a Primos sit n spin and on open ground I place a little kids stuffed raccoon beside it. I picked it up at Wal-Mart for a few dollars. seems to work well
I use a foxpro 'jack in the box' with the coon topper. Honestly though; most of the time it is not needed. Just set the caller on the opposite side of the den hole and don't let the coons see you moving. If they see you move it is game over!! If you are having trouble getting them to come out they are probably seeing you.
