12,learn all you can about the lives and habits ,of the animals you want to trap.This knowledge will allow you to do well.
I gang set(setting several traps in a small area) for coon,as I do for most animals.
I like to take my coon in the water,I put in several pocket sets,when banks are available.I mix up my baits and lures at each set.Give your animals a choice.
I am not the cheapest trap supply dealer--If I was,I wouldn't be in business.I can not buy supplies at the same price,those with million dollar inventories do.But I am competitively priced--and I am here to answer your questions.
Cheap does not mean --the best.
