what kind of dog proof coon traps do you all use? and what kinda sets? and bait? i'd like to see some pics.

I have heard really good things about Lil Grizzs, and some really bad things about Bandit Busters. I have a few Coon Cuffs and they look like they would work, but I have only had them out a few nights in a spot were there isnt a ton of coons. Sardines, Jack Mackeral, Jelly, and Marshmallows are baits that all work well. Just bed the trap properly for that kind of trap and it should catch coon (if you set in a location they are in). Good Luck!

ok thanks

i have a grizz getter...havent had a chance to set it out yet... our season opens nov. 21

I got a few Lil Grizz. Love em.

Usual set them on banks and such. On trails. Use ether Marshmellows/Pecan Oil/ Or Ground Fish/Anise Oil/Pecan Oil.

I'll have a few more pictures soon as season comes in:), Meanwhile, here's one of last season.

thanks. im thinkin about getttin a few but im not sure what brand to get.

I use trapmasters, I set next to a trail or other sign. I love them. I captured a large male last week with both hands in the trap. I bait with trout.

if i but some ill probably buy trapmasters too. are they the cheapest?

Li'l grizz is a good trap no coon and i mean NO COON will get out of this trap



LIL GRIZZ ROCK!

TexA on the main forum makes a good homemade DP...I have used a lot of them to see for myself how they functioned on my line. The Yancy DP is very effective for me. I have taken a few in grizz. and egg traps. They all work. Some require my effort to set, some require a tool to set them. All things, to keep in mind. Jonathan here on TMAN has a post in the archives, "DP traps revisited" http://www.trapperman.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/776315.html#Post776315 Pictures of most of them...Tom

No, I think yancys are. You can find them at www.trapperswarehouse.com or you can click on the link in my signature, He has trapmasters for 11.95 but the price is going up sometime soon. You'll have to ask for a catolog to see the trapmasters.

I use Coon Cuffs myself, they have worked well for me.
