Um they come to all of your sets and there is no good way to keep them out just dispatch all the ones you catch and hope the population goes down

You have to wade through the grinners to get to the coons. You'll get about a $1.00 for a pelt.. sometimes .50 other times (good market) 2-3$
They do make good skinning and fleshing practice though. Any yes, they are easy to catch..

it might also take a week or 2 before you catch a fox but sometimes it only takes a day or 2
