I don't think you needed tool for the coon cuff. The old Yancy trap, was a trap you could bury, had a stopper you would put in the hole to keep the dirt out, then remove and it had a tool that looked like a gun frame that you used to remove the coon, and reset the trap. I think there still be made today by his son. End caps were always getting lost. I welded the end caps on with hinges and welded on a stabilizer for ease of use. Truth be told the Yancy's DP's catch and hold coons better than any other DP I have ever used. If it were not for the setter, they would be the only ones I'd use. Here's the video I made on them about 12 years ago...

Then place some rocks around the hole to close up the larger opening. Spray some fish oil on those rocks and use what ever bait you like In the trap. Yo will be surprised on how important the curiosity factor will up your catch rate when using DPs. And this set up pretty much makes the DP actually dog proof.

I have had 4 pet coons over the years and they grab Everything they touch. In the shop, they are grabbing nuts, bolts, tools. In the yard they are grabbing everything from sticks to dog turds. A pull only DP is a magnet for them you would think so. Ron Jones http://www.acpwildlifepro.net/ Rednecks Pride Game Calls / Outdoor Scents Rednecks Pride Outdoors podcast Friend me on FaceBook

Still have 5 left and use them on occasion. Hate the setter tho 24 years Army Medical Corps I only want to be known as: A great husband, a good trapper, and a great steward of the land.
