I was wondering if someone could give me the dimensions for the box for coons and the size of the hole for mink boxes. I made the hole 1 3/8 because that is the biggest drill bit I had, is the hole big enough? Thanks

Sorry I don't know the dimensions to the coon box or mink box, but WELCOME TO TRAPPERMAN.COM

I have a friend named CJ, who likes to trap muddy coons, and if you need any advice trapping opposums, dont' be afraid to ask him!

I have seen the dimensions on here before for both the mink and coon boxes but can't find the thread back. Please help!!

Hi 06
for 110/120 boxes mine measure 6 1/2 inchs square 18 inchs long.I use 1/2 hardware cloth on the back. i have some the rural newspaper boxs that work real well too. RayA

Thanks...What size hole for mink boxes? Do minks like chicken liver like weasel or would a fish bait be better?

Heres what my mink boxes look like, they have a 120 in them with a coni pan.

I've never used liver for mink. But, fish works best for me over all other baits.

1 3/8 is fine for weasel. I'd go 2 1/4 for mink. Cut the hole with a saber saw the mink won't complain. Weasel gland works great for both weasel and mink. I add a touch of gh-II seems to do the trick.

Mncoontrapper very nice!

Coon Box with a 220 or a 160 18"L 1x10" boards with a 25" top for overhang

what is the deal with the overhang .is it necessary?

The overhang is to discourage Dogs from entering...it also keeps snow away from the trap, but mostly it's for dogs. Dosen't slow the Coons/fishers down at all... Maddog47 has caught his limit of Bobcats with these dimentions this year also.

Nice job MNcoontrapper!!!

If I would set the box up with a foothold for coon or bobcat, how far from the entrance should I place the trap?

The best way to cut large holes is with a hole saw in a drill.
