how come we have no snared coon in these pics?
it be good to add some for variety.

OK, I have the advantage on all of you in this department. I can post a picture that I doubt anyone else can post.

I can post a photo of my total, lifetime coon catch. Here it is (drum roll, stand back, prepare to be impressed):



Yup, that's it. A total coon catch of one, uno. Don't ask me how or why, but I caught that little sucker at the top of a mountain in a cave at a cat toilet. There isn't a coon in a 100 miles of that place.

I was so proud, I brought him home, skinned him with my buddy Corey Hain on the other end of the cell phone telling me how, and then I placed him on a stretcher. What a specimen!!!! Feast your eyes folks!!!

What animal life do you have there in abundance?
Coon don't do too well in dessert type environments. I imagine you are in Nevada, but probably higher altitude?

Anybody have pics of 160 Boxes and catches?

I didn't know the desert had raccoons.....just goes to show what I know !

First coon ever, this year. Big boar caught by rear foot in a Victor 1.75 coil OS, using dirt hole with Cavens Timber as lure.

The "Nevada Coon Stretch" You ought to do a video on that Tracy!! LOL

This mornings catch. Have a small line of 12 DPs out right now so having 7 full this morning was awesome for me !
Traps held ADCs coon bait with a marshmallow for eye appeal.

good job those look good

ADC's 'coon bait....is that a fish paste ?

No... the dry stuff.



BTW... 5 more off the same 12 traps this morning

Nice coon!!

He wasn't getting away!!

I don't like blood on my coon. I use a Belisle to send them on their way.

LT I wash the blood and mud off from mine too. I don't know of any other way to get this clay mud out of their fur. If you try to brush it out after it dries the hair will pull out. It's easier to just wash them while they are still muddy and wet. I put them on my deck and wash them up and then take them to the fur shed and skin them out. I then hang the fur by the fan for a hour or so to dry. After the hair dries I roll them and in the freezer they go. I don't put up my fur.

LT how does your washing process go?

Where do u get adc's coon bait

H H C ,


I spray them off with a hose if I can't 'baptize' them in a creek or river...

I shake them out and try to get most off the water out ...BUT... skin them wet if need be.
I don't have time to wait on every 'coon to completely dry.

If needed, I use luke warm water and DAWN detergent...

People say it takes the oil out of the fur...

Heck, a put up 'coon only shows a short window and most will have a touch of grease on it anyway...

So, not sure how that matters. They look good though...

LT I also use Dawn when I need to, it gets the blood out.

You can look up ADC on here in the user list. He makes some very good bait.

ADC's Trail Mix is what was pictured earlier. I have caught many coon using it already this season. I use it in my dps and use molasses as a lure.

ADC's raccoon pay back is more of a paste bait. I believe it's a fish base with a sweet smell to it. I use this in pvc sets, pockets, poke and smear sets, cage traps, and dps as well.

My knowledge of trapping is limited. The last time I trapped was over 20 years ago on my Dad's line. This is my first year back at it, but I don't think 52 coons trapped in 6 days is to bad. These were trapped useing ADC's (Jayme Johanas)bait.
