Well, we've added to the arsenal. Have another 6 traps not pictured and ready for battle. Not sure anyone is mad enough at the coons to deal with 105 degree temps this weekend but we'll be ready when we do go.

 They say we will break temp records Friday thru Sunday, but you should still have more fun then those coons!

Google earth anchors they are very handy and allow you to set a trap pretty much anywhere you would want. They also keep the coon from wrapping the cable around anything that could bind the trap and allow the coon to twist and rip its are off.
That’s what I switched to after talking with a trapper on the forum. I kept having only feet left in my traps and pictures of 3 legged coons walking around the feeder. Great thing about raccoons is even after losing a foot, they will make the same mistake the next night. They are just too curious to resist making the same error.

I had a trap line as a kid growing up, no telling how many legs I found in traps when I was late running my trap line the next morning.

Great thing about raccoons is even after losing a foot, they will make the same mistake the next night. They are just too curious to resist making the same error. I have found a foot in a trap a few times. I have only re-caught one of those coons that I can remember in 10 yrs of using the DP style traps. Might be a neighbor is catching them but I do not catch many I have had in a trap for some reason. I had one about 2 months ago get out and leave a foot. Still have not caught him or beern able to ID him on any TC again. I do not have many coons on TC during the summer months though. They stay down closer to the river about 6 miles away on the ag crop fields.

17 more this weekend. Only 14 shown from Saturday AM. The thinning is working. More locations to go but we push on.

Awesomeness. We keep after them at my brothers place. After hundreds of coons they just keep coming.
