I use cables with loops on the end on my DPS and just wrap it around the nearest tree, can I do this with legholds also? How about for foxes and coyotes ? Where I trap grey fox is very wooded on the mountain and I use cables or wire to trees all the time because it can be very difficult to anchor into the ground.

ADC coon in a DP. Textbook location. Two fields joined by a land bridge about 10 feet wide with a culvert going through it that connects two drainage streams. what do you mean by land bridge?

that would be a drainage pipe with dirt packed over it to get a vehicle across a drainage ditch or some other low or wet spot.
or the trail that the asians took when the traveled across the polar regions. got lost in a snow storm and evolved into eskimos. lol whichever one applies.

this will be my 2nd year trapping, learn as I go and self taught. last year only had a couple traps and got 3 coon and some (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) oppossums. this year I got more traps, more land, and hopefully more critters. My goal is 20 coon and hopefully some fox or yotes. hopefully prices are better than last year. only averaged 10/hide
14-15 trapping
1/40 coon 0/2 fox 0/4 coyote 2/0 dirty possums 2/0 rabbit 1/0 cats

Ive been seeing these little V shaped dig holes all over the property and relatively close to where I see coon sign. Is this a coon digging or something else? I looked on the interwebs and cant find an answer.
