Ok thank you thats very helpful. Just put a live trap out and baited it for coon using a Marshmellow, Molasses, and almond extract. Hope it works. Also a trapping friend mentioned that animals tend to, when in fields, run for the closest cover.

Foxtrapper, Lil Grizz those set locations and juice it up with trails of fish oil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If there are any 'coon around, it's a SURE BET!

The first 3 pictures look like DECENT locations. Not real good though. The last 2 pictures look like K9 locations not really coon tho. No reason for the coon to walk along that field. If it was a corn field then sure but that just looks like a hay field. Might get a wondering coon though.

Last pic is where I found this:


Dirt everywere from digging, you can slightly see the hole

Worn path(made by something) leading to the hole

I am very convinced that its a yote den because about a hundred feet away there was some tannish looking fur. and you can see some tracks to.

Are these good coon locations?



Tracks found around the area.

Three objects are in the track to show 3 toe lines.
Not sure whats this is.

Doesn't look like any den trees in those pictures. If there are den trees close by, they would be a good location.

pic 1 is always a spot to look at for coon.if i see a drainage like that i look for sign at the least.if its on your rout cant hurt to look or try it

Great thread! Thank you to all who have shared their knowledge on here!

Don't always look up, around here a lot of the coon den in the ground. Tom

except normally them ground coon are badly colored

...but worth $50. on an ADC complaint!

What size PVC pipes do you guysd use?

good point LT




how about 1/16th cable for snaring coons, how bad do they tear that up?

hey possum skinner; how are you getting away with the 220's set on land like that?? i'm new at this , and from VA. also.
your an awsome trapper. what am i missing?

never mind there o'mighty skinner; i'm so glad i checked out this post! you can use 220's with no bait; "blind sets"

how does the pvc pipe set work?

I am not a great coon trapper this is only my third year of trapping but i have learned alot... What do you guys do with the meat.. i create a big pile out in my woods and catch some coyotes on trails to it, but is there people who buy the meat? if so where? I have heard about selling skulls of coons and an old friend should me how to get a coon head into a white coon skull in a matter of days. so im going to try that... I just dont have alot of money and any thing i can use to get some extra cash while im having fun walking through the woods trapping i would be willing to try....

....in a matter of days ???

Please, I'm all ears!
