Don't worry the coon will respond to fish. Use fish and you will succeed if you have coons there to trap.

CoontrapperD with your attitude you will catch coons. You have it figured out.

You have probably already seen this but the coon crowd along the verticle walls of the culvert as they pass through. Trap is attached to cement block, and bait is in top hole of cement block.



I have caught around a dozen coon and a mink in these two sets alone. They will work along any vertical structure like a creek bank or bridge wall.

That creek bottom is pure sand so I could not use a stake. Also somewhere down there there is probably a cement floor.

You may have seen this from the other day. These coon are both in slap sets, taking advantage of where the coons walk by the vertical creek bank in the water. Bait is slapped on the bank, trap down front. I have also caught many many coon here by just squirting fish oil or slapping bait on that big rock in years past, and setting in front of it.

Nick owuld you please post that picture of me you took the other day with the two coon? It shows some vertical bank structure I think. I just haven't taken many coon photos over the years.

Sheesh that was quick. The coon in front has his belly and a verticle piece of the bank that they were crowding by as they travel the stream bed, bait was slapped there, and trap out front. Can't see the bank by the other coon, but it is a vertical part of the bank that they crowd past. Think "pinch points" in any kind of trapping you do, be it coyote, coon, mink, you name it. Think in those terms and you can adapt to almost all trapping situations you encounter and catch animals.

"If you bait it they will come"

Young fella, trust me, you are trying to bring the coons to you, and you need to go to the coons. They will not come very far. Get on top of them and you will succeed.

No problemo Sheriff.

Try looking in the water too. If you pay attention you can see "underwater coon trails". Get out there and look! Some locations will just hit you like "Duh!" Make your sets and collect the coon the next day. \:\)

Yep, the coons knock it off after the catch, of course, but that's where I slapped it. I mixed it with fish though and added some honey for some extra special sticky icky ness.

I wonder how many coons I could of caught there before it went dead. Coming out of a farm place with a few corn cribs and barns, and a nice stand of trees. Only water source within a half mile or so.

Next year it's getting 2 traps instead of one!

Good to see you catching some in the good old water. I doubled again yesterday in the block set pic above. I have lost count on how many coons I have taken out of there, but better than a dozen.

Nope not even a track. This bad snow/blow we had all night holed everything up tight. Thought I would have at least one but can't catch them if they don't move.

So k9, a coon won't drag a cinderblock off to space? Is it good enough?
