Fleming Outdoors would like to introduce an exciting new product line to our ever-expanding hunting category. Fleming Outdoors and Whitetail Institute of North America have teamed up to provide our customers with the highest quality seed on the market. Whitetail Institute’s focus is strictly on deer nutrition. Whitetail’s line of products was created for the serious deer hunter and manager who want to provide the complete professional nutrition menu that will produce the ultimate in quality deer.

Whitetail Institutes most popular product is their Imperial Whitetail Clover. Imperial Whitetail Clover produces up to 30 - 35 % protein 12 months a year and can last for up to 5 years without replanting, saving you time and money! In terms of attractiveness, Imperial Clover has no equal. Part of the stipulation in the design of Imperial Clover was that it had to be the most attractive food plot available to the deer. After all, no matter how nutritious a food plot is, if the deer do not eat it, it doesn’t matter. In this respect, expectations for high attractiveness were exceeded. Because of its design, Imperial Clover is a lush, sweet, highly digestible forage that is a virtual magnet to deer ― it actually pulls deer from surrounding areas.

Fleming Outdoors outdoor consultant Jeremy Brown has planted and tested the Imperial Whitetail Clover and has had dramatic results with the product. The clover was planted in the fall with the directions that were stated on the bag and so far has had 2 full years of clover. Jeremy has also seen an improvement in the deer that have been harvested on the property. Just last year 2 whitetails were harvested on his property scored in the 140 – 150 range where as in previous years the largest deer that were taken only scored in the 110 to 120 range. “ Hands down this is the best clover product on the market. I am currently testing the Imperial Alfa-Rack Plus in similar fields locations.” Jeremy Brown.

We here at Fleming Outdoors are pleased to add the Whitetail Institute of North America to our product offering in our Hunting category. Over the next few days we will be reviewing some of the best Hunting Attractants and Feed that we offer in hopes to help you bag that big one this year.

Raccoon Facts:

Raccoons generally weight 12 – 36 lbs. with larger raccoons around 36 – 50 lbs. Raccoons average 12” high and have a life span of 10 – 13 years. Mating occurs in late January or February and females usually give birth 1 – 6 baby kits in April or May. Baby raccoons often stay with their mother until fall. At that time they go off and look for a den themselves, which includes hollow trees, attics, chimneys and outside buildings.

Raccoons are not hibernators but they are considerably less active in the cold winter months. Raccoons are mainly nocturnal animals, although they do get out during the day, especially on cloudy days and in the spring. They are great climbers and swimmers especially when being pursed by dogs.

Raccoon Damage:

Raccoon damage is generally pretty easy to spot. Some signs are tipped over garbage cans, destroyed gardens, damaged crops, hollowed out watermelons, missing fish in ponds, missing chickens and house damage.

Raccoon’s amazing dexterity allows them to open eggs, doors, jars, bottles and latches. Raccoons will also get in your dog/cat food. One way to keep them out is separate the water from the food. Raccoons do not produce their own saliva so they need water to dip their food in. This is why raccoons are generally found near water sources.

Raccoon Repellents:

Best way to deal with raccoons is to deny them access to food, water and den options. If this does not work then we first recommend repellents. Critter Ridder is a Havahart product that is a pepper based repellent. We have both Critter Ridder Granular and Critter Ridder Spray. Can be used indoors and outdoors and generally last up to 30 days.

A motion activated water repellent is also a good choice. The Spray Away has motion and heat sensor triggers to detect an animal nearby. Similar to a sprinkler, once activated, the electronic valve releases 3 seconds of spray from an attached hose.

Electric Fencing is by far the best raccoon repellent. Most of our customers needing help with a garden or fish pond are very successful with a small electric fence kit like the 725RP Fence Kit, the 750RP Fence Kit or the Battery Operated SS-2K Fence Kit. These Electric Fence Kits electrify a wire that runs around your garden, pond etc.. which in turn keeps out all unwanted animals.

Raccoon Cage Trapping:

Trapping the Raccoon is generally the last resort in raccoon control. Trapping is a very effective method of removing the raccoon from your property. I will go over some suggested baits and trapping methods. Please check local state and game regulations before trapping in your state.

The Raccoon is a highly intelligent animal, but not difficult to trap. The raccoons insatiable curiosity, unquenchable appetite and willingness to eat just about anything makes it quite susceptible to being trapped. Cage trapping a raccoon is an ideal solution to your problem. The Duke Raccoon Trap and the Havahart Raccoon Trap are the very best Cage Traps for a raccoon. These traps are ideal for the first time trapper.

Raccoon Leg Trapping:

Recommend traps include: #1.5 Coil Spring Leg Trap, #1.75 Coil Spring Offset Jaw Leg Trap, #2 Coil Spring Leg Trap, #2 Coil Spring Offset Jaw Leg Trap, #1.5 Coil Spring Rubber Jaw Leg Trap

I will go over the dirt hole set for trapping a raccoon using a leg trap. All you need to do is dig out a very small dirt hole and place your bait in the bottom of the hole. Right outside of the hole you place your leg trap and cover it up with fine dirt, place some lure at the entrance of the hole and this should catch your raccoon consistently.

Raccoons are large and powerful animals. When caught they often lunge and leap often breaking a weak trap chain or pulling loose from the trap. We would recommend using a drag rather than anchoring the trap with a stake. The drag ( usually a piece of log or branch) gives when the animal pulls on the chain and doesn’t allow the full force of the pull on the chain or trap.

Suggested Baits & Trapping Books

Some of the recommended baits include. Fish (fresh or canned), honey or sugar covered vegetables, smoked fish, watermelon, sweet corn, cooked fatty meat, crisp bacon, marshmallows and honey buns.

Below we have listed a variety of very effective baits and lures. These lures work best for trapping raccoons in the wild using a leg trap. The animal bait trapping kits work best for cage trap. Also for first time trapper we have listed some very helpful books that will teach you how to humanely catch a raccoon.

Baits and Lures include: Coon Candy, Canine Select, Bait trapping kit for Raccoons and Opossums and Raccoon Urine.

Recommend Trapping Books: Cronks Raccoon Trapping, The Dirt Hole, Land Sets and Trapping Techniques, Trapping Tree Climbing Animals.

Hope this helps out,

Eric Fleming

Eggs: Please get your incubator in hand before you buy your eggs. Many people will get their eggs and the incubator might not come for 5-7 days and their eggs are close to being too old. Most eggs will stay fertile up to 10 days. Also it takes an incubator 12-24 hours to get to a good constant temperature. Some of the exotic eggs are expensive and we do not want you to have to throw them away.

Chick Bator Egg Incubator: The Chick Bator Incubator is a great incubator for the individual that needs an incubator at an economical price. Many people prefer this incubator if they are going to use it just a few times for a science project or to hatch some chicken, quail, duck, goose etc. eggs they found. This incubator doesn’t look like much but it has a very good hatch rate and our customers have been very pleased with this incubator. I would only recommend this incubator for the casual user. If you need an incubator that has the option of an automatic egg turner I would recommend the incubators below. The Chick Bator Incubator’s eggs have to be turned manually. Price Range $19 - $25

Still Air Egg Incubator: The Still Air Incubator holds 30 eggs without an egg turner and 42 with an egg turner. This incubator does not have a circulated air fan kit installed ( can be installed at a later date ) so we recommend using this incubator in a place where the temperature does not fluctuate up or down. Everything is identical with the Still Air Incubator and the Circulated Air Incubator except for the fan. Features two 4″ x 8″ viewing windows - ideal for educational purposes - and solid state thermostat control that can be adjusted manually with a turn knob located at top of incubator, thermometer, and moisture rings. The Egg Turner for this model is optional. You can turn the eggs manually without the turner or you can purchase the turner so you don’t have to worry about turning the eggs. Generally you get a slightly less hatch rate without the fan kit installed. Price Range: $50 - $55

Circulated Air Egg Incubator: Both Circulated Air Incubators have the same features except for the window on top of the incubator. The 10200 Little Giant Incubator features two 4″ x 8″ viewing windows where the Hova Bator 1583 Incubator features one large window on top for viewing. The large window on the Hova Bator 1583 is ideal for classroom work, science projects, advertising and promotional work, and for group observation of the hatching processes. If you are looking the the same performance but do not want to pay the extra for just a larger window, I would recommend the 10200 Little Giant Incubator. Both egg incubators perform at the same level and both have the option of an Egg Turner.

Both Circulated Air Egg Incubators feature a solid state thermostat that can be adjusted manually with a turn knob located at the top of the incubator, thermometer, and moisture rings. Price Range: $78 - $100

Circulated Air Egg Incubator With Thermostat: The Hova Bator Incubator with Electronic Thermostat incubator is great for situations where there will be temperature fluctuations where the incubator is kept. All parts are the same as the Hova Bator Circulated Incubator except the Thermostat. Egg Turner is optional. Price Range: $160 - $180

Circulated Air Egg Incbator For Overseas Use: The Hova Bator Circulated Air Egg Incubator 220 Volt is for our customers who use the incubator overseas on a 220 outlet. If you are going to use your incubator in the US I do NOT recommend this incubator. All specifications are the same as the Hova Bator 1583 except for the plug. Price Range: $150 - $200

Cabinet Egg Incubator: The Cabinet Egg Incubators are for large scale egg incubation. We recommend the 1502 Sportsman Egg Incubator. This incubator has 3 trays for turning and a hatching basket at the bottom ( so you don’t have to buy a hatcher incubator ) The turning trays can be manually turned off so the can be used to hatch the eggs. All cabinet incubators feature an accurate digital thermostat with LCD Display of Temperature and Humidity. An on-board computer monitors systems and the environment every second to keep itself updated and to share this data with you. Electronic egg turning control, audio/visual indicators and a standard easy view door highlight a number of new features.

The unique feature of this incubator allows the breeder to set the eggs each week or so and then hatch the oldest setting eggs at the same time. Settings are rotated among the three turning trays so that the hatching tray can accept the eggs from one of the setting trays each cycle. Another option is to set all of the trays at one time and at the end on incubation, level all of the setting trays to use all of the trays as hatchers. Total Capacity with Plastic Trays (Not Included) 1368 Quail Eggs, 216 Larger Eggs (Ducks,Chickens).We recommend purchasing the plastic egg trays for cabinet incubators.

This incubator includes:3 turning trays & 1 hatching tray with cover - 1 #3018 dial thermometer/hygrometer - 1 moisture pan with 2 wick pads - Samples of paper egg trays for quail, chicken/duck (1 each) - 1 Aluminum clean out pan - Instruction booklet * 1 #3256 Pre-Set Electronic thermostat, and 1 alternate #3122 wafer thermostat Size:30.25″ Deep 15.75″ Wide 31.75″ High

If you are serious about incubating egg and want an incubator that provides a great hatch rate then I would recommend a cabinet incubator. These incubators are my personal favorite because do not get any complaints or problems regarding these incubators. The only complaint I have is that I cant get them to our customers any quicker than 2 weeks. Price Range: $560 - $650

Most Economical: 1. The Chick Bator Incubator , 2. The Still Air Incubator
Best for the Money: 1. 10200 Little Giant Incubator , 2. Hova Bator 1583
Most Popular: 1. The Chick Bator Incubator , 2. 10200 Little Giant Incubator

Whether you are a one time hatcher or a professional we have an incubator that should fit your needs. All of our incubators come with a 30 day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
