Anyone trap coons?

I mostly trap coons in water sets with 1.5's but have used the little griz-getters quite a bit. I have found that using a plastic jig body in the trigger is just as effective as the marshmallow, but will last alot longer. As for bait, I use fish based lures for all my coon traps. Just drop a little in the tube and walk away.

Thanks for the tip.

We used to make our own coon attractant. We'd go catch a mess of fish, cut it all
up and stuff it in a gallon jar, put the lid on it then bury it for a year or so.
The tricky part comes when sifening  out the oil on top. Didn't think of a turkey baster back then.

p.s. The smell will cross your eyes but the coons lap it up, even after being caught.

Gang set.  If a location is good enough for one trap, it is good enough for three.

Coons are pretty easy to catch. The Griz traps work well. I would also try goggle searching homemade raccoon traps and see if you can come up with some that will work cheaper........We make some wire live traps out of heavy wire & a piece of plywood for a trigger, that looks similar to a hog trap only on a smaller scale.
