Maybe a few # 1 coils for pest control. JMO. But if you want to go with 1, #2 Bridger dogless is hard to beat they are built like a tank. Check out MN trap line. They are just next door.

Unless I was gonna run em down drowners. www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions. Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.

Unless I was gonna run em down drowners. I agree with this. Coon can get under the jaws and chew. I think the number 2 is more useful for different critters especially if 4 coiled and lamination on the inside might help with the coon.
