This is part 2 of my scouting for raccoons.
The raccoons have been killing my chickens. I trapped one and killed it, but I'd rather shoot them with my 25 caliber pellet gun (Mrod) and get the hit on video.
So I set my trail cam out for several night to see where and "WHAT TIME" they will show up.
I live 200 yards from the creek and my guess was, they were coming from that creek.
Also, it looked like something was digging under the foundation of my barn to get in and eat the chicken food. The size of the hole was small and I figured it was a rat.
With the trail cam out waiting for the raccoons to show their faces, I see all types of action down at the stream.
I never would have known it was a target rich environment down there without a trail cam.
Now I can see I have a host of targets, not just the raccoons.
I want to make a coon hunting video and I caught 2 coons on the camera, so I know that I have targets for "THAT" video.
But I can see more than ONE video coming up this summer.
Here is a taste of the footage the cam recoreded a few nights ago.
I edited down 40 mins of footage to make it more compact to watch.
No shots, just trail cam footage with a wish that I was sitting there and shooting. Now I'm encouraged about shooting the critters.
Hunting video, soon to follow.
