More traps... if you have to mess with 3, might as well mess with a dozen or more.
Yeah gang set an area with 10 or more coon cuffs. I assume they're showing up at your deer feeders?
Correct on attacking the deer feeders. The 3 traps I have are the dog proof ones. Who knows how many are on our property. I may buy a few more then set 2 different areas.
@makeithappen has trapped around 95 on 2 different small tracts of land in suburbia.
Yep. Up to 108 as of yesterday off 12 and 5 acres, 8 miles apart, since July. They've slowed way down after 100.
3 dog proof traps at each site with j hook rebar anchoring and 100lb braided wire to a tree or log. I put about 10 pieces of cat food in the bottom then impale a full size marshmallow on the trigger. Rarely (maybe 5 times) has a trap been cleaned out without catching the coon.

If the trapping grounds isn't close by, you are going to spend more on fuel than you would buying more traps to try and knock down the population faster than 2 or 3 coons per trip.
HAHA!! You won't have time to trap when your retired!
I've never used anything but cheap marshmallows. Big one under the trigger, small ones in the tube and scatter a few around on the ground to get them interested. Works every time. You may thin them out for a while, but new ones will quickly move in.

Would be great for coon with cheap cannef cat/dog food or tuna.
