We Are At War Again!

We are at war again.  We went down to harvest a few days ago and discovered a very sad sight.  Something got into our corn.  We were just getting ready to pick it and instead we saw that it was picked clean by raccoons.  They did not leave even one piece of mature corn for us.  Now if it was an ear or two like the deer have been doing with our lettuce that would be one thing but to take it all?  That is not happening!  So it is on raccoons.  George set a couple of traps a couple of nights ago and when Lisa and I went down to harvest yesterday we had caught a raccoon.  We set the traps using Honey Buns and it worked with one trap.  The other one did not work and the honey bun was gone.  George came down and took the trap, drove it to the river away from the farm and released the raccoon. One down who knows how many more.   We do not want to hurt the raccoons we just want them to leave our corn alone.  We have heard a couple of other things we can do to hopefully stop the raccoons coming into the cornfields.  We heard human or dog hair scattered on the ground helps and also putting down cat droppings from the kitty litter box. We do have dogs and a cat so we may be giving that a try.  If you have any other suggestions please share.  We did have another nice harvest and we picked our first grapes.  However, we want our corn so raccoons heed this warning:  Stay out of our corn or we will look for you, we will find you and we will trap you!  You have been warned!
