Don't make It so hard for the coon to get In the box. It also helps to elevate the front end of the cubby up at about a 45dgree angle. This way the coon dosen't have to get down on It's belly to get It's head in the box.

I got back in to trapping 3 years ago in hopes of helping the turkey population where I hunt, I started with 155 in 5 gallon buckets with a square hole cut in the lid and did pretty well the first 2 years, this year I added some plywood boxes I made, 6 ' square inside and 24'' long with hardware cloth on one end, all I have caught in the boxes is possums, using the same bait in both, fish heads from Walleyes I caught this summer, anything I should be trying. Thanks It’s good to kill the opossum too as well as skunk. All egg eaters!

We can only use 5”x5” traps out of water in Ohio, I was afraid the coon would go around the trap and get the bait. We can use 5x7's(as long as the bigger measurement is rivet to rivet and not jaw to jaw)
