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.

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.

Good luck. You should have a few this AM. Should have but didn't. Not a single coon catch. It was late yesterday evening when I got them all set. Maybe tonight I'll have some catches. If not, I'm going to get something strong and fishy smelling to bait with other than the marshmallow and coon candy.

Marshmallows work just fine. Damn messing with those nasty sardines. Try getting you some vanilla extract from dollar general $1 a bottle and pour a lil of that over your bait.

While your at Dollar Tree, look for the yellow flip top bottle of molasses. Pour a little up high on the tree near the trap.

If not, I'm going to get something strong and fishy smelling to bait with other than the marshmallow and coon candy. sardines and creek banks coons walk creek banks I wiped out 12 last week on 6 traps on creek banks with sardines lokk for places they are likely to cross they dont like to get wet anymore than we do, if it looks like a good spot for you to cross set a trap, also sand bars on creek bends.

yall over think this to much fish+ next to water = coon food and it smells, also dab some on the rim of trap so they get a little taste first I mix my sardines with mackeral and enough cooking oil to make a canned cat food consistent paste apply with butter knife.

Dealing with dead fish stinks too bad when I can catch them much easier.

I've got 4 traps set down along the creek that runs through my place. I've got 4 set all along a big ditch that runs through my pasture and I've got 4 set in the woods behind my barn. All are baited with marshmallows. No coons again this morning. I put sardines in 6 of the 12 traps when I checked them earlier today. We will see if that makes a difference tomorrow.

Got 3 today on the sardines. Re-baited all 12 traps with a concoction of mackerel, sardines and cooking oil. Mixed up into a paste. Stank like you wouldn't believe. Never smelled mackerel until today. I think it is worse than the sardines. Sadie had a ball getting after the coons. She barked herself into a slobbering frenzy.

I'm catching coons and possums now on shelled corn.
Think I've got 10 coons and 7 possums as of Sunday afternoon.
Caught 3 field rats and had one coon chew his foot off overnight.
Bet that one will be hard to catch again.
