Can't wait for trapping season.

The coons are going nuts around us. This is just one feeder among many we have out. they are easy to trap.
Coons are really bad for nest robbing eggs of ground nesting birds like quail and pheasant.
If y'all have an opportunity, set out some traps and get rid of them.
They are easy to trap. If your interested, just ask

Geez. You might have more coons that I do.
What kind of traps do you use?

May have to do that this year. I have trapped a couple, but i am only able to run them 2 times a week, so I can't set em but 1 night. I invited a guy in to coon hunt with dogs last year. We covered almost 3 miles and only got 2 coons. They treed on several den trees with holes. I wish I had a chainsaw.

Use the live-box traps. I use cat food as a bait. I've found that if one leaves the cat food can loose in the trap, the coons will dig under the trap until they can move it to the side and eat it without tripping the trap.
So, put the cat food can behind the pan, and use a steel rod like an electric fence post to go from the top of the trap, through the cat food can, into the ground. They can't move it and will come through the front and get trapped.
.22 finishes the deal.

I went with a guy one time that had climbing spikes like a lineman uses.
He would locate a den tree, climb up, and shoot them in the tree. Use a trebble hook to bring them out.

what do you do with them after you shoot them?

Coyotes have to eat too. Hide prices aren't good anymore.
Some folks like to eat them. If they do, I'll be more than happy to provide them with all they want.

Ditch?
