Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Trapping Trap-Smart Coons

My coon trapping was interrupted by deer season. I tagged out and may concentrate on coons again. By now they'll likely not remember my traps and I'll catch a few before I need to employ some of the tactics learned here.

Coons get where they will avoid dog proofs. I then move in with dirt holes. Then blind sets. 160 bucket sets. Snares on kill poles. If all u have is dp. Go in hit them heavy for a week. Pull wait 3 weeks go back in. Hit them with a different bait. And not the same spot. Back away down the trail from feeder.

I would put a leg-hold or two at the base of the trees in the pic.
Anchor at the tree. Small dirt-hole at base of tree.
