thats a great catch tlake22 was it set in a trail??

it was a bucket set

got a pic? you gotta love doubles

I have one on my cell phone, but gotta get a cable to xfer it to my computer.

if you have texting you can send it to your email

You can send it mms to your photobuckets account if that's what your using. All I have is a cell phone and all I use. its faster than computer and it goes everywhere I go. Have a question on the while out on line bam right here. Take a pic and post it in minutes. Phones are pretty usefull now days.

how do you send to photobucket?

Photobucket has a mobile application. the only thing is the pics go to a your mobile photo album and you have to move them to your desktop album. not very hard go to photobucket and look at mobile app. I send mine by mms messaging. I take the pic with phone go to send and type in your photobucket account adress and send. photobucket has all the details on there site for your phone. I use mine all the time its all I got no computer using it to do this. I have a Q2 phone most any phone you can do it with. I believe you can send it email to your album to just check out the site. PM me if still having trouble. That is just a start you have access to google and live maps to if you have internet access on phone.

Check it out.

thanks guys

Had some good luck this morning. My first double, and/or triple on coons. I had to release one, he was knee-high to a grasshopper. All dry land dirt holes.

How are the skins this early in N.C. ?

Nobody has mentioned crossing log sets so far (logs that span a creek). I set every one I come to with 2 to 3 160s (largest we can use out of water). Camofloge them as best you can and put some lure on the log in between the traps, or not it works either way. I've heard some folks catch a few fox and bobcat in these sets too, but I haven't so far. You can also bed a leg-hold at each end of the log to make a super gang set for multiple species.

Yep, crossing logs are many times a super highway for all furbearers from mink to coyotes. 'Coon are no exception!
Blend as you will, a 'coon will still spot a kill trap on a log. They just don't know enough to realise it's a danger to them.
Snares will work well, as will footholds on each end. I would prefer a slide wire, if using footholds however!

Believe it or not, the skins weren't bad. Theyoung female was a little early, but the 3 of my big boars so far have been nice and prime. Lots of knife work compared to normal.

( A few) 'coon pelts thawed out taking to the buyer, back when 'coons were worth trapping.
Early January-Mid 80's.

Sure beat the tar outa that Nissan....It was new before trapping season started!

thats alot of coon!!

Early in the season, I often set cage traps, as I have about 200 'coon size ones I use for ADC work.
Most 'coons here are not prime opening day. The larger ones will be but the smaller ones will need about another 2 weeks.
Easy to be selective with a cage trap.

weather fronts mean dead coon and we had one last night
