Well if u dont use them for pups an ur dogs are as good as u say they are then y do u use them? Wats the point in calling it hunting if u pull up an tree a coon in five MIN off a feeder? To me that's not hunting. An im not bashing anyones dog I just maid a statement about feeders. I feel the same way about deer an any other wildlife. If u have to sit over feed to kill it then to me their is no sport in it. How would u feel if every time u sat down to eat u was getting shot at... give wildlife a sporting chance for gods sake

Only way I know to test it is go catch one. Feed it chocolate and see if it dies. Then you want really know if it died from being stressed in the pen or chocolate killed it lol.. I swear though. Them in that coon pen I'm in are healthy. A few prolly weigh 25lb. Look like baby bears.

Im pretty sure coons ain't in the dog or k9 family. Raisins will kill a dog quicker than anything. Coons eat the far outta grapes lol.

This source says licorice is not toxic to dogs. I could not find anything other than it makes some animals sick.

http://www.health-report.co.uk/phyt...id_extract.html

But then again this source is from the UK.

That candy will cause worms put some worm meds on your candy. I know a man that does this. He only feeds candy.

The question about the liquorish, I don't know. Is it black liquorish?

O.K. Science lesson for the day. Animals are classified in the following manner:

Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Class Mammalian
Subclass Placental mammals
Order Carnivores
Family
Genus
Species

Raccoons belong to the Procynidae family. Weasels and such belong to the Mustelidae family. All members of the mustelids have smelly scent glands.

Bears are in the Ursidea family. The red panda was thought to be related to raccoons, but they were given their own family.

Saying weasels and raccoons are cousins is a bit of a stretch. They are only related to the level of carnivores.

I WAS TOLD LAST YEAR THAT THE COON CANDY HAD KILLED ALL THE COONS ON OUR CLUB. THEY THOUGHT I WAS BUYING THAT STORY, BUT I KNOW IT WAS LEAD POISONING. THEY DISAPPEARED WHILE I WAS FEEDING DOG FOOD.

YOU BE THE JUDGE. (VIDEO)

ok boys i can understand all of the comments and all have some good point but i have a letter from the biologists at SC DNR that say coon candy is safe and legal as long as it is legal to bait in your state and zone so candy is not killing coons at least not licourse candy.
