DO NOT try to look up ADC's Cherry Bend Over on google!!! Seriously.

Who knows where to buy, not on google.

What?!? That's funny! You make me want to almost Google it. But I'm nervous of what I might see.

You can order it from Jayme [ADC] on here and IowaTrappersTalk.com .Great Product Great Price and it HAMMERS the Coon.

Thank you.

Probley 98% of DP trappers just push them into the ground,bait and walk away. All well and good.You'll catch the eazy ones.
I set for the 20% that are hard to catch. The other 80% will be cought with them.
Use your imagation(or how ever you spell it)
Make the coon want to work for "IT"
There are 100's of different of ways to set a DP.
example: ever think of a floot set with a DP.
We here in New Jersey have to think "out of the box" We have no foot hold traps to use.

There is so much truth to what Newt just said. Put the trap right under his nose but make him work for it.

No wet, sticky, or greasy bait in a DP - ever. Dry bait inside with some “Coon slobber” (my new bait / lure) around the lip and some “Dumpster Scent” coon call lure about waist high and about 10 feet upwind. Set the DP where the coon wants to find it.

I have good luck by filling the DP half full of bacon grease. It's water proof and the mice don't seem to clean it out and the coon just love It.
Different strokes for different folks.

fish pellets and fish oil as a trail sent

Think about this - why does anyone put so much food or bait in the DP trap? I read many comments about filling the trap. If the trap has a push trigger that can easily cause a misfire, a toe catch, or even a snout catch. What is your purpose - to fatten up a raccoon or catch it? I use only traps with a pull trigger and put in enough dry bait to just cover the trigger.

If using the wet, oily, and sticky baits it must be a miserable chore to clean out those traps after use.

Use dry bait only unless you want gummy and messy traps in warmer weather and then frozen not working traps in cold weather.

The bacon grease works for our I coon. Dry dog food gets wet when it rains and turns into a wet mess then It starts to mold. Mice will clean out DP with dog food in It. Non of these things happen when using bacon grease. Seems to me wet dog food will freeze up pretty fast In wet weather. But bacon grease just gets a bit stiff. But If It doesn't rain when your coon trapping then you should be OK.
Clean up Is a snap I either use my pressure washer or the dish washer. The wife prefers that I use the pressure washer.
But you can use what ever works for you and I will use what works for me.

I don’t schedule rain during my coon trapping time.
A cap on top prevents all of those problems you mention.
Mice don't take what they can’t get.
Cleanup is nonexistent.

I only use maybe a lima bean size glob of paste bait or a capsize amount of taste lures on sheep's wool, polyfill, or a marshmallow under the trigger. I never clean out the traps, the paste baits or lures do not go bad and do not gum up the traps. A pair of needle-nose pliers will pull out the sheep's wool or polyfill if I need to at the end of the season. Many times with the sheep's wool I can just reset the trap and not re-lure or bait inside the trap. I always put more lure on the lip. Everyone has what they do, and if you are getting 30 to 50% catch rates on the traps set in 5 to 8 days and happy with that go for it. The important thing is to understand and know WHY you do it. not just doing it because of whatever. My mindset is, and this is only me, I want 60 to 80% catch rate on the traps I set in 5 to 8 days. ( I am not going for numbers but catch rates.) ( numbers will come if my rates are up) That is my coon circuit for my area. ( I don't always get it but that is what I want) I rather set 20 traps that catch at that rate, then set 40 that catch at 30%. I am a method based on a location trapper rather than, a production trapper. BOTH WORK AND ARE RIGHT DEPENDING ON THE TRAPPERS STYLE I believe I use good baits and lure that produce, and want to use the best products, but in my mind Location and presentation is more important than baits and lures. The right location and presentation can make an ok attractant look great. Bad location and presentation can make a great attractant look bad. This is a northeastern coon trappers mindset. If I lived in the midwest coon belts or VA where you have more coon than ticks I may do things differently. By the way, it should be against the law the amount of coon you boys have compared to here in the northeast, just ain't right.

By the way I put a marsh mellow or golf ball on top. It does keep the mice out, but the reason I do it is to monitor the trap as far as activity and eye appeal.

Location Location if there aren't any coon your not going to catch them no matter what you use.
When I'm fur trapping I won't set a DP unless It's right In a beat down coon trail. I just don't set traps to be setting traps.
There will be a DP on both ends of the culvert and there will be a 160 set on both sides of the road about 15 yards from that DP up and down that trail. DPs aren't the magic bullet and you will have coon walk right by them no matter what you use for bait.

And what I love about my system Is I just load my jerky shooter with my bait and load up my DPs. No muss no fuss.

I'm big on pre baiting a area.
Early pre baiting get them into a location,thats eazy for me to set.

If #11 learned from who I think he did we should all pay attention to what he is using .

Who might you be talking about Golfball? I was in high school with #11 back in the late 70s and I just wondered who he has been associating with since then, LOL!

Newt you don't have to pre bait when you have a corn field on both sides of the road. Or a corn field on one side and some timber on the other side or a creek running along side a corn field.

I do ok on the coon and dps but agree they aren’t the manic bullet. I run higher end cat food and coon potion most of the time. Still seem to have to clear out the possums before I catch many coons. Set them like this so they don’t freeze down and put them where they have to walk around them. Right in their face approach. About to go to a blind set in the same trail and I think I would catch more.
