Isn't a 220 too big for a coon?

i would work with pocket sets and snaring the trails, almost anything works for bait most people prefer to use fishy smells or peanut butter and marsh mellows. Stake your trap well, and make sure there is nothing in the area that the coon can grab a hold of, once they get a hold of something they will power there way out of it. or you can hook it up to a drowner or grapple on about 7 ft. of chain. lastly make sure you know how to skin them properly, if you do not want to flesh and dry them then just start at the tail and roll it up (so when you undry it you can hang it by its nose and it will unroll as it dries) and put in in a freezer bag and store it in the freezer but make sure the fur is not wet when you put it in the freezer; hope this helps

If you find there trails slap a 160 in there trail.
You will be amazed how many coon you miss with bait sets.
