Thanks for the revision paul. No offense taken.

If relocation is not an option , then why not make a chimney cap for a 220.Be a lot easier to use.

I'd like to have seen that double catch as it happened. Looks like a once-in-a-million-years occurrence.

Good work!!

The double catch was because they were young critters moving together as thy often do. i have had several doubles in a kill with young squirrels in conies. kermit i have a kill set up with a 5x5 mounted in a nose cone on a 13x13 steel chimney cap. It works.

I catch 9 possum in one trap a few times ayear

awsom pics great job.....they work great only here in ct.i use wood boxes if i did that in the publics eye.it would make the evining news for sure.......even legal....we dont want that.....

I catch 10, 11, 12, sometimes 13 opossum in one trap each year. And so does practically everybody else!

Dave, I caught an adult female raccoon and her nearly full grown youngster in a 220 set in a coon trail. They looked like they were racing each other for the trap and it looked like both died instantly.

Does it look like a coon blew through this tape last night?


So here comes Mean Green to the rescue!

I'm sitting on a job right now with the same type hole . Wish I had one of them green machines made up . I got a nose cone rigged that will have to do . Should rig a sign on there fresh meat for sale .

I've used this method in the past and will again in the future when the situation calls for it. Personally I prefer to have enough wire/cable/chain so that the catch can reach the ground. IMHO Far less attention attracted by a dead animal on the ground than by one swinging from the client's house. I did read that the "hangers" were on the back side of client homes and mean no offense. Around here homes are close enough together that one could observe catches across house yards.

If you were in Down Town Detroit...you could start a market ! And.....have customers.

Do you accept food stamps ?

No they got rid of the food stamps to much black market trade , I did a remod for a Detroit cop a few years back , when they needed the land to build them two new stadiums they used food stamps in a under cover opp , after about 3 weeks of working for this cop we came to this hidden place in the house where he stored this arsonale of weapons , he then told us his store about him going under cover as a biker dude called griz , to make a long story short . He worked his way in deep using food stamps as trade for drugs to this land owner , the mob ended up putting a hit on everybody involed , and Detroit got there land needed , if I was a writer this story would make a great plot for a movie

And Mean Green strikes again.......


This one looks so peaceful

That was quick . I set mine with a comstock but dint get him yet . Did you buy the large size sofit vent and just screw that on

No just screwad it over the hole. the coon blew the vent off of the house. I'll replace it after all the coon have been introduced to Mr. Green.

Ya that's what I ment , looked like it had the smaller 4" before .
