Has anyone used these dog-proof racoon traps?

Use the Duke’s version all the time and they work great. Small marshmallows seem to be the best bait.

I have the Dukes as well but prefer the "Z" traps. Dukes are pull up trigger and the "Z" traps are tripped by pulling up or pushing down. I am not sure about the brand you are looking at there.

Duke’s work great! I use cheap cat food as bait.

Looks like bridgers. They're good. I have a few

Everybody that has and uses feeders should have
and be using coon traps and 22LR settling tool

Use all the time. Dry cat food or small marshmallows work like a charm.

Thanks for the responses. I should have started on them back when I just had a couple coons, now I'm infested with them. I'll pick up a few traps and get busy.

I caught over 30 with that type of trap last year. Used cheap cat food and a marshmallow. it sure has helped our turkey population. Use to only see 5 on the cameras at one feeder now we see up to a dozen at two feeders.

I use them regularly. I put corn from the feeder in mine. Just sprinkle a few kernels around the trap and inside the trap

All the above!

I use Dukes with dry cat food. For desert, a .22 short! Works great for me......

I set out 6 traps. I catch at least one coon every night. I use marshmallows and cat food.

Make sure and secure them good or you will be missing traps.

I use the trap door style with peanut butter and banana on stale bread or I use cheap wet cat food.

They work; I really think the over population of coons is hurting all wildlife. There are hundreds everywhere. Wear gloves; they carry many diseases.

They work well.
If you attach your trap chain to something solid, some of the bigger coons will pull their foot out so tie off to a limb with some flex will help for those big ones.
If the traps stay set for a long time, the springs will get weaker and coons can escape easier.
Note: I've only experienced weak springs on some of my traps that are 7-10 years old and paid for themselves many times over.

All the time!

You'll be amazed at just how many coons you have.

I like your set up flintknapper

I have a handful and use when I start seeing more raccoons than deer on my cams. Last year I cleared a bunch out in the Spring and will get busy again now that season is over.

ya!

Yes, they work.

I have a couple dozen. Just about time to start setting them out again. Love walking up to the pen first thing in the morning and have 4 or 5 of these bastards caught up, awaiting to become buzzard food.

I lost one to a coon once because not being staked down good. 5 days later he came back with my old trap and caught him with the other hand. I was happy to get my trap back but more amazed that he hadn't got himself hung up somewhere and died.
