my stepson is on CHRISTmas break. so we went yesterday and set 6 more traps
when we checked them this morning we had 2 big coons .i dont believe ive ever seen a kid smiling so big. we released the coons because their not our target animal we are trying for fox but so far only 1 this year .i no their plentiful around here because i have seen lots of them on the morning drive to work i just cant figure what were doing wrong .

Are coons not legal to keep where you are at? If they are I believe I would skin them.

Good Luck,

yes there legal but were not after coons if i wanted to i could catch lots more of them there realy thick around here we even catch a few in a live trap .but what we really want is fox or coyote

i used to trap some in ky a place called pikeville.

I have heard of Pikeville but not real sure where it is. If you have lots of coons you should try a multispecies line. Set some 1 1/2 traps around the water areas or where ever the coon are. They will keep you busy while waiting on that old yote or fox. Coons are fun to trap.

Good Luck,
