Since my last posting, I have ordered the Conibear (body grip) traps. They should be in in the next couple of days. I need to get this nuisance eradicated.
Did you also order the setting tool? It can be done with rope, but I've always used the setting tool.

I heard that there was an embargo placed on selling furs to Russia by our illustrious president, that's the other reason for the drop in raccoon sales, in addition to their economy taking a hit.
China is now a big fur buyer, but they haven't embraced Raccoon like Russia does. But, their economy has taken a hit too, so it's a double whammy for the fur industry.
