Cubby ( buckets) sets work well for coons too.

This is a set I use alot for coon.

Before I touch the set area.


Trap placement.


Trap covered and a shot or two of fish oil mixed with shellfish oil in the hole.

Stake it out in the crick as far as the stake will reach.Throw alittle water around the hole and slick it up with your hand.Makes it shine at night.This is also effective as a blind set if you leave out the hole.Coon walk the edges looking for food and will get in the trap with or without bait.

And yes you can make a cubby or bucket set with a foothold.
