I've caught pretty much anything imaginable around central Texas with steel jaw (years ago, had 180 trap line I ran every morning before school) and live trap ... the best bait I've found to only catch raccoons is corn in live traps. just pour a little on the ground leading in with a larger pile under the trigger and set the trap on top. cat or dog food will bring in all sorts of other critters also.

Maybe you should try a corn trap? Or just take a gun and hunt. I'd love to hunt raccoons, too, because they got to me. They somehow ruined the insulation of my house and settled there. They are warm and cozy there, so they do all their business right there. My whole house stinks. I didn't find them immediately, then I saw the pieces of insulation on the street and realized what was wrong. I decided to urgently contact the raccoon removal professionals and also eliminate the results of their life activity. Now everything is in order and I hope that I will not see any more raccoons in my house.

I'm on # 34 coon just this morning on my place in dog proof traps. I've used everything mentioned above. Just the other night I put some freshly caught tiny green eared sunfish split down the middle. They didn't dissappoint.

'Glad the coons are gone from your attic, but maybe you should look for how they got in?  Maybe that's what you mean by "eliminate the results of their life activity".

Maybe scorched corn on the cob and on a platform- something a skunk couldn't climb up that well.

Marshmallows or vanilla wafers.
Coons love them and skunks don’t

He's still alive in this pic. He was just relocated.  Looks like he is lying there contemplating his life's choices

Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.
