I’ve never trapped before but want to try it on this piece of property I’ve leased. It’s only 30 min away so I can check it daily. Would now be a good time to try to trap some coons?

Yes most definitely Use Surfin & Turfin dry cat food for bait I put in enough to come up just under the trigger
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Yes. Anytime is a good time! But with turkeys trying to nest it’s a great time. You going to use dog proof traps for the coons? That’s the plan.

Do y'all just stake the DP's down or attach them to a tree with a wire. I saw some YouTube stuff on attaching them to a tree or a fence post to keep them from pulling it out. And do y'all just dispatch them with a .22 rifle or what?

You can stake them down. Especially if around a feeder or corn pile. Im sure there are many ways to attach it. Just make sure they cant pull trap off. We use something that goes around a 4" tree or smaller. The tree has to have a bend or some sort of split in it or they will climb up the tree and bend it over and pull it off the tree. I use 22 pistol. I dont know how others feel but I am very cautious when handling a dispatched critter. I try not to get anything from them on me.

Doc,
I just get a 4' long piece of stainless steel cable (1/4" or so) and make a 5" loop in each end. Make the loop big enough to pass the DP trap through. I then put the cable around a tree, etc. and loop the trap back through. Easy, peazy trap set up; takes about 30 seconds. We just dispatched about 40 coons and a dozen coyotes just before turkey season.
Don't give up, don't ever give up!

They'll have a roll of the wire and hammer on clamps to make it out of.

Here you go……This is the setup we’re talking about making…..Also, see the two traps on the far left of the pile…..one of them has a round piece welded to the stob that sticks in the ground and one only has a straight post…..The one with the round piece on the stob is a Z-trap like I mentioned…..That little round piece is one of the things I like better about them. It can be a pain to get them to stick in the ground well when its sandy or wet. That round piece really helps. They also have a two-way push/pull trigger ….They are worth the extra couple dollars per trap IMO.

That looks exactly like my set up down to the color The only thing I can add is the cables can be a huge PITA to untangle but it’s better that driving in anchors and trying to remove them when you’re finished trapping
