I'd like to purchase a few of them to start working on the coons at my place. What brand is best or what brand do most of you use? Where is the best place to purchase them from online? About what should I expect to pay per trap for them? Got 74 acres on my place, how many do I need to buy and set up here? I know I can probably find some of this info on the internet but I trust you Aldeer guys who trap. I don't trust the internet. Thanks in advance for the advice and info.

Go to F&T fur harvesters and look . They have about 4-5 different kinds of DP’s and I have used three of the different ones and like the “push/pull DP’s . They cost a little more but are worth the extra $2-$3 more to me
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

No BS lures has them around $100/dozen. Ive seen the Dukes around $110/dozen and thats what I use. I've used some ztraps that belong to a landowner, theyre OK but I can set the Dukes faster.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

I make 5'legths of cable with a large loop on one end and a small loop on the other to anchor to small trees. make the big loop big enough to pass trap thru just wrap it around the tree pass the trap thru it and done. set tool makes it alot easier for $6 I'd rather have one than not setting by hand gets old quick

Why not just screw a screw threw the chain into the tree? Screw driver works good for a set tool imo because it takes about 3 seconds to put a cable around a tree and I dont need a screwdriver who wants to walk around driving screws by hand I make the cables at home and they last for dozens of catches what could be easier than that

not at all that's a big tree I usually put them on smaller trees so the trap is about 3ft away I'll scatter some leaves over the cable that's laying on the ground it's easy to move them around like that I can put out a dozen figure out the 3 or 4 that catch more often then move the others around fairly easy without carrying much around with me.

a small bag of dry cat food and a $1 can of mackeral lasts a long time. Put the mackerel in something resealable. Drop some cat food into trap and drip some mackerel juice on top of it.

My DP's arrived today from Fleming Traps. Bought 12 of the Duke DP's for $10.95 each, 12 of the 6' snare extension cables with loops on each end, 24 quick connect links, a setting tool and a bottle of Coon Candy. Going to get all 12 set tomorrow afternoon after work. Going to bait them with mini marshmallows and a dab of the Coon Candy. My partner in crime, Sadie, will be along for the adventure. Already got her nose into the Coon Candy.
