I believe I’m gonna get a dozen of the 1.5 coils, I know they’ll take a little longer to set but I love everything outdoors so I’ll enjoy every minute of it. I want as many gone as possible by April. As for the body grippers I’m not sure I would want one to be dead real long before I got there. The meat is pretty easy to get rid of and I’d like to pay for the traps and maybe some more mb550’s that way! Ga weather can go from 40 to 75 degrees in a matter of a day so I wouldn’t want them to go bad The 1.5 coils are easy to bed so it won't take much longer to set them. Good luck to you!

I used fox gland on the lip of my dp’s one year and caught nearly 100% boar coon. This year I’ve used my bait exclusively and to date I’ve caught 94 coon , male and female. I’ve not ever had more than 6 dp’s set at a time and I’ve caught coon in every kind of weather. I think the secret is make them bump their nose on it and give them a small sample on and around the trap. I’ve heard people say that a coon won’t put their paw in a dp after the temperature gets below freezing and I caught coon at -6* just a couple weeks ago. I truly believe if you have coon walking around your dp’s your not putting the right bait in them . put a camera on them.

Agreed, I’ve never seen a coon around here resist any of the baits I’m using in a cage trap. I’ve had them multiple occasions walk right by the dog proof even with bait on the ground around them. I’m not sure why but they just don’t seem to want to mess with them. As you are seeing, coons will sometimes ignore DPs no matter what you do.

I also would suggest a camera because I’m seeing it first hand! It will definitely make you think. So you have cameras on your DP’s?

I disagree wholeheartedly, put the right bait in the can, give them a taste sprinkled on the ground and it’s a dead coon . What are you using for bait?
