Yeah, my dad appreciates having less thieving coons around the feeders. Haha

Thanks!

Well it has been a while since I've set any traps, but I set my only 2 DPs yesterday and got these! There are my second and third coons of the season ( and life ).

Alrighty, I will let you guys know what success I have whenever I do get them set because I won't be able to trap for about a week. Again thanks to everyone for the help and advice, I love this forum:smiley_crocodile:

Got these for Christmas, wish I could set them while I'm still on break but I leave for vacation in a few days.

Sounds good

Yeah, also got some duke DPs this morning. Do I need to wax and dye them? I've seen plenty of people get plenty of coons without doing that

Got my first coon! Felt like Christmas, wait it is Christmas Eve. Yeah okay. Finally

Checked the trap this morning and I caught a grey squirrel. Haha, not what I expected, but at least it's something.

Just checked the trap again, completely untouched. Rained last night so that may have been bad for feeding, not real sure. Onward to tomorrow.

Thanks for all of the advice, another thing, what is the best way to dispatch a coon without drowning. I was planning on using that method but changed my mind (truly my dad did, said it was cruel), and ideas?

Just checked the trap-nothing. It was on its side; not sure if it was the storm that just came through or a smart coon. Haha. Well there is always tomorrow. :smiley_bril:

Thanks for the info, I might try those baits after I check the trap tomorrow. The anticipation is gonna kill me at school.

Hey guys, I'm 14 and brand new to trapping, just set my first and only trap of now. It's a live trap and I plan on catching a coon, then more later with some duke DPs I will eventually get. I put some tuna in the trap. This picture is from the same area I'm trapping at, they must really like...

Do you still put the borax on? I will probably put it on either way.

Alright, I'll try that

How long should I let it sit salted? It has been sitting about 8 hours now

Thanks for the info and the welcome. :smiley_crocodile:

So I just started with preserving my first squirrel tail (bone out). I've started with this (see picture) as you can see, the end came off while cutting down the tail. I have salted it and it is sitting right now. I've read about using borax, which is what I plan on doing. Any advice?
