   I bought a game camera which I put out in the garden at night. It uses   
   infrared light so the animals don't notice. Lots of activity out there after   
   dark. Last night I got a movie of a fox, who won't bother the garden, but a   
   couple of raccoons were    
   checking out the corn, which will ripen soon. I put traps out this afternoon.   
   Like you, I hate to have to trap them, but they won't leave anything for us if   
   I don't.
