Tried to look this up but was unable to find anything! If setting a property for coyote and coon ....is it okay to place DP's in the area with the coyote sets or would that interfere with trapping the yotes in that area? If its okay to set both in area... is there a safe distance I should set DP's from the coyote sets to still be effective? Maybe i'm overthinking it? I figure there are several on here that has found what works and is most effective and also what does not work as well and willing to share?

I have not set them together so to speak, but have set DPs on the same pond dam as yote sets and at the same field edges. The times I have done this they were probably 15 yards or more apart, it didn't seem to bother either species. I had both on several checks. The tracks showed were the yotes actually check out the DPs from time to time and it never fails a coon will work any good yote set.

I've had similar luck with them 30 yards apart or so. I'm not worried about it.

I had some coyotes try to take DPS at coon/coyote locations, The dps add to the attraction.

I set em in the same spots, some DPs are close to coyote sets 30 feet away, have caught both the same night so they dont seem to mind. Fresh snow sees coyote and fox tracks are always checking the DPs.

In our line, every single location we set could take either coon or coyote. If we only want coon, we use DPs, 160s, or cages. Otherwise every coyote set we make could see either species taken.
In several of our locations we hit the coon trails hard with DPs and 160s, then made traditional coyote sets at pinch points, travel routes, edges, and focal points in open areas. We catch about as many coon as we do coyotes in those "coyote" sets and we always get coon in the coon sets/locations.
This year we had fairly mild weather for almost first 1/f of December so we also ran a lot of water sets like pocket sets and baited bank edge sets. That allowed us to take a lot more coon from those locations than we normally could that time of year, and though I can't prove it seemed to help keep coon out of our coyote sets out in nearby field areas at same locations.
In short, I would never hesitate to set for both coon and coyote in same locations. We've had multiple catches of both species in same locations by doing this. Set for each, set on sign, and one doesn't seem to really bother the other in terms of visits. That is completely natural thing in our area. We have had many checks where one coyote set had a coon and other coyote set had a coyote, both in plain view of each other. Same with a coon in a cage or DP and a coyote bouncing around at a nearby set. Our area is a mix of ag land, creeks, lots of features attractive to both species.

I always set multiply sets, 2 to 3 coyote sets,4 to 6 snares, couple of dps and 1 or 2 coni boxs all in a 100 yards. Coyote set are in the middle so catch most of the coons and skunks before they git to the coyote sets. Works well for me and catch multiple animals at a time.

If I am doing ADC work where I have to catch all of the coyotes, I do not like to mix in with DPs just because I don't want to contaminate my coyote traps and equipment with racoon bait smell. I may be relying on superstition more than logic, but then, I am trapper and we are normally allowed such peculiarities.
Besides all of that, I can't seem to keep the raccoons out of my coyote sets in any case.

I had a farm last fall I set 10 coyote traps on. I caught one coyote the first night then the games began. The coons were terrible. They dug up every trap every night. I loaded it up with DP's and body traps. I stayed ten nights and got over thirty coons. The coyote traps were dug every night till I had to leave. Next year it is coonmagedon for two weeks before the coyote trapping starts.
