Ordered some new orange DP's from Flemings and just got around to setting them last week. Coons showed up multiple nights at feeders on cameras but didn't mess with the traps. Had one catch Friday night, but it was along a creek drain, not a feeder location. Any suggestions? Thanks

Picking up a few in coyote sets but nothing in DP's. I put some shrimp in the bottom of a couple and even the possums aren't visiting. "Cull" is just another four letter word...

The smell will easily I through the holes and the coon will pull it right off. "'The only difference between fear and appreciation is knowledge"'_Mark Canter
