It was worth it just to see Gabe move that fast at the end. I mean the dude will wade through gator infested ponds, but bolts from a baby coon. Hysterical! Another awesome vid Kelly.
@@jeffadams7134 I remember almost 55 years ago as a kid, my dad told us all to run inside the farmhouse. A rabid coon was walking around our house, mid-day, gnashing his teeth. My dad popped him with a 12 guage pumpkinball. I had a blue tick coonhound, we killed 50 coon per year along with my cousins and their redbone coon dogs. Only 2 of those raccoons were rabid over a 10 year span, 500 coons plus. Most raccoons aren't rabid. But they can get that way on rare occasion. More likely foxes or bats.
@@turdferguson5300 Raccoons can kill a dog one on one, especially where I'm from in the northern USA where raccoons get 50 or 60 pounds. Even smaller coons more southward can put a hurting on a dog.
@@stevemeek1994 i know right... hmmm... I guess that is how evolutions work .. like that of penicillin against bacteria... 🤣... you just can't win... but submitting to the evolution... dumb wife..
I’m with Gabe, a raccoon is a badass to tangle with. You will lose trust me. Kelly you are simply the most beautiful woman both in and out. Love yours and Gabe’s channels. Wish you both nothing but the very best of everything.
I've had good luck using large marshmallows in the traps for raccoons, caught 3 of them over 2 nights. First, I tried using cat food and tuna fish, but all I caught were possums.
I've been trapping coons for years to keep them out of my chickens. What they'll do to a chicken is terrible. They usually bite the head off and drink the blood. When you set the box traps use a long steel pin to secure the trap to the ground. It's also a good idea to carry the trap with a pair of leather gloves to protect your hands and use a broomstick to open the trap when releasing the animal. Good luck!
Hi Kelly, what a wonderful video once again! So with trapping the raccoons another bate that you can also consider using is to save some leftover fish that you guys get from your fishing trips for it. Raccoons love to eat things from the ocean too. That way you won't have to spend extra money and time to go get the dog food or worry about your kids reaching into the trap to get the peanut butter and captain crunch. :-) By the way, I love the Jack Russell that you guys have. Now I am considering getting one for my little one too! Thanks again.
Great Story....Need to be very careful around Racoons, they are vicious, very sharp claws & teeth and high chance of Rabies..... They routiney fight with Dogs, Bobcats even Cougars, they are fearless, although very Cute I am surprised Jake didn;t insist on a Daniel Boone Racoon Hat....LOL
Kelly put a tarp over the trap and put marshmallows in the trap the big ones you'll catch them every night I caught 13 in one week trying to get into my chickens good luck yes
Hi Kelly ! There are more than raccoons roaming your yards... put the game cams in other areas around the pens facing out some time covering a wider area... right next to the pens you can add a foot wide strip of some wire mesh in the soil, staked or stapled to keep it from getting pulled up or undercut. Bury it about an inch or two below ground level to make it waste the predator's time.
Puppy chow (dry from a bag) and mini marshmallows in a small pile at the back of your live trap. Sprinkle a few mini marshmallows along a center path into the trap and a few in front on the ground. Make sure you stake your trap to the ground. I've caught hundreds of coons this way. To let the coon out, flip the cage upside down. The door will open and the coon can exit.
Gotta say, y'all screaming when the raccoon jumped out of the trap was the best part of the video! I'm still laughing! Whadda site that was! Glad ya got both of those raccoons, so, now you can rest easy and so can the birds! Thanks for sharing Kelly! 👍 😎
I have raccoon problems in central north Florida , Live Oak, fl to be exact in the country just west of town. We bought this retirement home on an acre December 2017 and have had problems with raccoons and opossums every spring. The yard had been neglected to tall bushes (15 foot tall azaleas 🌺 plants and both front lawns was mostly over planted with wild flowers 💐 by the previous owner. Any way trying to get the lawn right and watering a lot we found out that watering a lot brings worms to the surface and raccoons and opossums love worms and grubs. And they both are good diggers, raccoons did the deeper holes of the two. So far I’ve caught 7 raccoons, 4 opossums and 3 neighborhood cats using 2 live traps. Released them all. Raccoons and opossums have been known to return to their home territory from 3-5 miles away and one homesteader that I follow started putting a spot of red paint on their back and proved that is true as he caught one two additional times as it hat two red spots on it. I started the red spot deal and had one come back from 8 miles away. Now I release them on the west side of a river from our house and they don’t come back. They have also eaten vegetables from our two gardens. We put up chicken wire fences and that fixed that fixed that problem. I caught all with cat kibble with a little of the same captain crunch. I crush a little of both to get scent around the cage. I use a game camera so I know that I still have one smart raccoon to catch. I will be trying bread and peanut butter with captain crunch tonight. I also subscribed to your channel channel. 👍 😎
Oh my goodness Kelly, great job. Thanks for all you do for the Biys! Walt & I are going to go over & catch up with mr Gene & see all of his feathered friends 👍💗
You should have named this episode “The Trash Panda Special”! Gabe was right to run like mad because while the look cute they can be very aggressive and really nasty in a fight- been there and starred in that show…. Nope, nope, nope! Don’t wanna do that again. Thanks for the great video, it was good entertainment.
I had a strange little garage apartment years ago when my wife passed away ...In the early morning I would see deer and some descent sized animals cutting through the yard . Well one evening I heard some noise on the porch which is upstairs of course . When I opened the door there sat a pretty hefty racoon . Like Gabe I wanted nothing to do with a Racoon that might be carrying rabies so I shut the door real quick . There was bag of trash he got into with chicken bones and other stuff in it but he was gone . I found a screen door in the garage and mounted it . Plus I didn't leave anymore bags of trash on the porch...problem solved . As cute as racoons look I'm sure you know how agressive they can be . PK
😂😂 Man, I just lost some money on that ending. I figured that coon be making tracks at warp speed. Pfft, Wasn't the coon going Warp Speed! 🤣😂🤣 Too Funny, I can't stop laughing! That was an AWESOME video, Kelly! I needed a good laugh. just spent 12 hrs doing homework for college!😵 Hopefully, you won't be having any more raccoon problems any time soon!
ONLY AN AMAZING PERSON WILL KEEP HARMIT CRABS AS PET, YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON...i GREW UP IN A BIG OPEN FARM HOME, WITH SMALL CROPS DUSTER PLANES, TRACTOR, DUCKS ALL KINF OF VIDS, WHEN I WATCH YOUR VIDEO, IT BRINGS MY CHILD HOOD BACK.
Kelly n BlueGabe I am envious of your back yard especially the enclosed pool. I swear that looks very close to a place where I lived 50 years ago in bvb Florida. Best
LOL...9:48....love his shirt, I have one says the same thing but different! Awesome neighbor Kelly! My gf distracted me but I finished watching...he was soo cuddly looking...lol, poor kid. You got to find a baby one now and raise it to love the family! I also agree with Gabe..."you never had one attack you", he who ran the fastest and farthest away! GO GABE!
Yep - Raccoons had open the neighbor's rabbit hutch and killed one. So we had a mission. :) After failing with traps, I finally cornered and caught one with a gigantic net. A raccoon is both terrified and terrifying when caught. Anyway, we drove him/her (whatever) out 20 miles into some forestland - and we were both very happy. However, if that raccoon found a way back - it would not have left my property alive. Thank you Kelly for this great story - and the last part with Gabe is hilarious - and so understandable.
Wow!! Bluegabe can move if he needs to. I've only ever seen that sort of speed once before, when a colleague got a fright from a snake, and seemed to teleport from one spot to another several metres away.
Nope! No editing that scream out! 😂😂😂. Anywho, glad you caught that varmint. Keep them cameras going too because there will be more. Hope y’all had fun at Robs. He, Aubrey and friend caught a mess of kingfish so smoke em if you got em. Thank you for sharing Kelly! Love ya! God bless!
I have had raccoons nest in my attic three times. I would seal up entry way and she would rip it off. Caught 17 raccoon one year. Relocates to wooded park five miles away. They can be disruptive
Raccoons are NASTY on a chicken coop!! So are opossums! Use a can of tuna fish with the live trap and puncture 3 holes in the lid with an "old school" triangle shaped can opener to bait them in!
I like Mr gene! Super AWESOME! He was trying so hard to get him a quail to snack on. He would have eventually dug a hole under the fence and stole eggs and would have been a slaughter house
KY, I had been thinking, all that scolding you been doing of BG for making noises during filming had finally gotten through to him......never expected the cute scream from him at the end.... dam son he sounded more scared than the poor quails .. lol great video...keep those Blue boys straight KY! Hugs...143!
Thank you for releasing him Kelly you have an amazingly kind soul. they’re so adorable… just trying to survive like everyone else. 💜 hey BlueGabe, Jake, and Luke 👋
I've trapped many critters on my property. The first one was a young raccoon. But the night before I caught it, I trapped the mom or dad raccoon. It ripped apart my cage trap (similar to your trap) and escaped. Since then, I've caught about 15 possums, which I release down at the creek. I've trapped about 75 Eastern fox squirrels. The first 25 I let go at the creek. Then I learned that it's illegal to transport them because they are non-native and invasive. So the last 50, I've killed in the trap. The first one was brutal, but it gets much easier (I think that's what Dexter once told me). I've caught about 15 skunks which I shot too. Unfortunately, when they die, they empty their entire stink sack.
I used fancy cat food and stuff. In the end it just took the cheapest dry cat food in existence. Used a trap almost identical. Get a steel rod or something to put through the holes to hold the door down once it's trapped. They can open the door. Great video Kelly!
Finally got that little guy. Happy ya caught him. They can be sneaky! Another great video. Gabe got somewhere quicker than the raccoon. 😂 Long time fan from Bama!
We lived in a rural area.. we didn't have raccoons, but we had skunks. We would put a partially open can of sardines in front of a straw bale and a dim light on top. We would then sit about 25 yards away in some weeds with a scoped 22. No more skunks.
Out of all the videos and crazy things Gabe does, a racoon is his kryptonite. I would have never guessed lol. He will wade in alligator infested water but releasing a racoon... LMAO! Anyways, Great Job Kelly!
That raccoon attack must have really been something, since this is the same guy that jumps in the water with alligators! Then again there is the popsicle stick situation, so who knows… 🤷♂️😅
Glad you got the trash panda they are smart critters. I have trapped a bunch of them if you have more make the trap into a cave with firewood and palm fronds they can’t move it or trip it without going inside it.Y’all are awesome love the videos…
Kelly... You need to engineer a better way to store your feed. Raccoons (+ feral cats, domestic cats, dogs, and everything else will get into the feed. EVen your birds will make a run on it. The wild critters will be back over and over and over again while your feed is sitting on the patio like that. Galvanized trash cans (30-55 gallon) with a cinder block or a few bricks in the bottom to weight it down. Buy some galvanized chain (boat trailer chain) and chain the lids to the side handles on the trash cans. Run the chain from one handle through the handle on the lid to the other handle and use a snap link to secure it. You can paint the cans so they don't look garish. Easy fix.
Hello My Sister Kelly You Are Truely Human We Don't Killed Things That We don't Eat Thank You For Sharing us Your True Love And Respect i Love it i'm From Vancouver British Columbia Canada 😁😘👍👍👌👏👏
Just an advice YOU will need to put a predator apron Around your coop You can use CHIKEN wire or something Like that Before you get all your CHIKEN ate 😟🤨🥳
If that coon had latched onto Gabe he would have been hollerin' "Y'all get off me!" Those little buggers are fierce in a fight. lol Gabe's war cry of manliness did sound a little girly. ;-) Great job on protecting your animals. Well done!
Thanks for saving the racoons. I live in Tucson, AZ in middle of the city and I have 3 that my security cams pick up multiple times a week. Which is awesome to see. Rather have them around than rattlers.
You are so nice to the animals, even the predators. Nice catch Kelly! I had to trap a skunk once and letting that little guy go was much fun - I put the trap on the ground, jumped into the bed of the pickup and reached down to open the trap. Gotta say, I was a bit nervous 🦨
They love hot dogs and BBQ. We feed the ones by our house all summer. Neat little critters but obviously they can cause havoc for some people. It’s awesome you didn’t kill them!!!
I had a pet raccoon as a kid and they come on our deck every night. You never have just one raccoon so keep your traps set. They love honeybuns and anything sweet. If you can cover the trap to make it seem more like a log that might help. They are trying to survive and doing all they know to do. If they have something to eat they'll leave the birds and trash alone. I hesitate to suggest buying a bag of cat food for em but that might fix the problem. We feed birds, squirrels, and raccoons on the deck and our indoor cats love it. It's like tv for them and we like it too. None of them bother anything because they have food. The most we've had at one time was 7 but 4 isn't uncommon.
I live in an area where wild quail are relatively common and I've seen a few babies running around and always reach for my camera because they are just so cool
Raccoons killed two different sets of chickens at our place, and as many coons have been dispatched. They’ve made it impossible for us to raise chickens right now, even though I built a very secure chicken coop. The grandaddy of all coons ripped the wood off the side of the coop, and it was screwed in with deck screws. I’m trying to figure out a way to electrify the coop without electrocuting the chickens.
It was worth it just to see Gabe move that fast at the end. I mean the dude will wade through gator infested ponds, but bolts from a baby coon. Hysterical! Another awesome vid Kelly.
Rabies!!!!
hahaha true

If you ever see a raccoon fight you'll have respect for them. That little rascal can and will bite to the bone because its scared.

Nice! I would keep putting those traps out because there are sure to be other raccoons in the area.
Get rid of one and another will take it's place.

Love how she tried the "ultimate" bait: bread, peanut butter and Cap'n Crunch! Lol
What a friendly, interesting man! Hope to see more of him!
He was awesome!
Kelly, thanks for making my day. I hope Blue Gabe is as thankful as he should be!
Wise words 🤨👍👍👍
This is one of the most entertaining videos you’ve done, very different from your regular content but super fun to watch
so cool,that you didnt kill the coon.
This is my first visit to this channel and I agree, this video is very entertaining. It caused me to subscribe.
Puppy chow (dry from a bag) and mini marshmallows in a small pile at the back of your live trap. Sprinkle a few mini marshmallows along a center path into the trap and a few in front on the ground.

I never have problems getting them out of the cage. I open the door and grab the coon and drag it out. Course they are always dead by then.
Omg never seen Gabe move like Flash, the movie , 😂🤣 Lmao. them Bandits are smart critters, thanks for sharing sweetie.
Loved this video and now I want Quail.
Those raccoons looks ashamed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those Racoons are Mean ! May he meet his Destiny by being found by one of those
Released Florida Iguana Lizards !

How did Gabe get to the front of the truck so fast? The raccoon barley exited the cage and Gabe was gone!

Not having the heart to kill the raccoons! Your best show ever! Thank you! ✌️
Nice caught Kelly 🤠🤠.

I lived next to the coon hunting club house in Mississippi, I think you should do a catch,cook and eat a coin. It tastes like dark meat.
Gabe narrowly evaded that killer Racoon.
I like Mr gene! Super AWESOME! He was trying so hard to get him a quail to snack on. He would have eventually dug a hole under the fence and stole eggs and would have been a slaughter house

You are ALWAYS a doll!
Lay chicken wire down on the ground around the perimeter of your chicken coup so the predators can’t dig under the fence. 👍👍
Put a cover over the top of the trap. Make it look more like a tunnel. They can't investigate the outside and will go in the door

Nice that you released the little dudes.
Ok, I have to say, that egg holder is really cool!
Smart man not to mess with a raccoon. Those thing look cute but are as mean as a hornet.
Them guys are smart little boogers.😂
I used fancy cat food and stuff. In the end it just took the cheapest dry cat food in existence. Used a trap almost identical. Get a steel rod or something to put through the holes to hold the door down once it's trapped. They can open the door. Great video Kelly!

Sounds militant but affective
Pleased you let him go. We had a young red fox visiting in our garden this week, Sheffield UK. Well done Kelly.
So many critters. Fun vlog! Nice job relocating the bandits
Out of all the videos and crazy things Gabe does, a racoon is his kryptonite. I would have never guessed lol. He will wade in alligator infested water but releasing a racoon... LMAO!
Anyways, Great Job Kelly!
marshmallow on a string they cant resist
Gabe can move when he is scared! Thanks for sharing
ok, master diver, pro fisherwoman, excellent chef, professional hunter, great peeps and now master trapper!!! btw- bluegabe rocked the release!
Great job Kelly😄

Glad you got the trash panda they are smart critters. I have trapped a bunch of them if you have more make the trap into a cave with firewood and palm fronds they can’t move it or trip it without going inside it.Y’all are awesome love the videos…
Kelly... You need to engineer a better way to store your feed. Raccoons (+ feral cats, domestic cats, dogs, and everything else will get into the feed. EVen your birds will make a run on it. The wild critters will be back over and over and over again while your feed is sitting on the patio like that. Galvanized trash cans (30-55 gallon) with a cinder block or a few bricks in the bottom to weight it down. Buy some galvanized chain (boat trailer chain) and chain the lids to the side handles on the trash cans. Run the chain from one handle through the handle on the lid to the other handle and use a snap link to secure it. You can paint the cans so they don't look garish. Easy fix.
Hello from Wisconsin love you guys God bless you all Keith from Wisconsin stay safe
I have never seen Gabe run so fast lmao 🤣 😂 😭

Just an advice
YOU will need to put a predator apron
Around your coop
You can use CHIKEN wire or something
Like that
Before you get all your CHIKEN ate
😟🤨🥳
If that coon had latched onto Gabe he would have been hollerin' "Y'all get off me!" Those little buggers are fierce in a fight. lol
Gabe's war cry of manliness did sound a little girly. ;-)
Great job on protecting your animals. Well done!
Thanks for saving the racoons. I live in Tucson, AZ in middle of the city and I have 3 that my security cams pick up multiple times a week. Which is awesome to see. Rather have them around than rattlers.
You are so nice to the animals, even the predators. Nice catch Kelly! I had to trap a skunk once and letting that little guy go was much fun - I put the trap on the ground, jumped into the bed of the pickup and reached down to open the trap. Gotta say, I was a bit nervous 🦨
Gabe was like lightning they way he bolted outta there 😂
Hahah
We all loved the scream. I also loved how much ground Gabe could cover if needed. He did seem to have an "every man for himself" attitude.
I'm surprised Gabe didn't want to do a catch, clean and cook with the coon!
do armadillos not give the birds trouble?
I always put peanut butter on the back of the pressure plate. Works great.
Love this. Thanks for sharing
Appreciate you not killing them. They are just trying to survive like every other creature on this planet, including us.
They love hot dogs and BBQ. We feed the ones by our house all summer. Neat little critters but obviously they can cause havoc for some people. It’s awesome you didn’t kill them!!!
I had a pet raccoon as a kid and they come on our deck every night. You never have just one raccoon so keep your traps set. They love honeybuns and anything sweet. If you can cover the trap to make it seem more like a log that might help. They are trying to survive and doing all they know to do. If they have something to eat they'll leave the birds and trash alone. I hesitate to suggest buying a bag of cat food for em but that might fix the problem. We feed birds, squirrels, and raccoons on the deck and our indoor cats love it. It's like tv for them and we like it too. None of them bother anything because they have food. The most we've had at one time was 7 but 4 isn't uncommon.
What are you doing over there Gabe 😂😂
I live in an area where wild quail are relatively common and I've seen a few babies running around and always reach for my camera because they are just so cool
Raccoons killed two different sets of chickens at our place, and as many coons have been dispatched. They’ve made it impossible for us to raise chickens right now, even though I built a very secure chicken coop. The grandaddy of all coons ripped the wood off the side of the coop, and it was screwed in with deck screws. I’m trying to figure out a way to electrify the coop without electrocuting the chickens.
Your pets are adorable and very cute!!!
