some coon pics

#11 at an old mink tunnel i put in a few years back


Another at the same spot


DP traps are quick and simple, however paintjobs dont last long


Nothing is sacred to these guys... even dog proofs


This one was one slushy day


This was a hawg!! caught underneath a concrete bridge


This was an odd double, live trap and dp but im not complaining


Early morning checks! This one scared the crap out of me hiding in the weeds up on the bank


Another hawg in the night


One mornings catch, may not be alot but im proud of all the hardwork i have sitting there!!


This one was first of the 2010-11 season


Gotta love pocket sets, full of burs and frozen what a combo

Fuzzytail, thanks for showing these guys what can be done when you put your mind to it....

No problem, I love catching coons.

I've had doubles like that where a live trap and Duke were set. The Combo of the two works pretty well. The Cage coon attracts more coon into the area and they start hunting up the bait or lure that is used.

I guess so, i didnt plan it out but i was double setting around that field and ran out of dps, sure a dirthole would have worked but the cage was so much faster. You are really robbing yourself by not setting doubles!! cme

Coon are hard to specifically target, you can set dog proofs if you want to catch only coon. However my most commonly used set is a simple pocket into the bank with a 1.5 or 11 guarding it, fish type bait work well, this set will also catch lingering mink and occasional muskrats, hope that helped a little cme

I've never found 'coon that "hard to specifically target." quite the opposite, really!

How?

Where are you guys hiding pages 35 and 36..

Coon caught perfect with 160. It's not me in the pic, but I can't resist the nice catch pics.

I put my mind to it all the time for trapping and get good number of coons. I don't get my Dad's respect though. He looks down on me "wasting" my time trapping.

what would he rather you waste your time at ?

i'd like to use those fishsticks, but here in PA i've got to have all bait covered from the air. I'm sure they would work just as a pvc elbow set, but less likely to be seen by trap theives...

Great thread guys and gals

very useful. I trap up in Ontario and use alot of boxes and since last year Dp traps. As I was reading I really got interested in the blind trail set. How are you people setting your traps in the trail. Are you keeping them off the ground a few inches and if you are how are you doing it. I just ordered a few videos from FNT including the one mentioned by Ron HAUSER but still waiting for it to come in. Any help would be appreciated.
