Title says it all, if I make pocket sets for mink do you think the coons will just "let themselves" out of them if I use the 1.5s? They don't have too much power but perhaps the lockup is enough to hold them? I don't want to hold the coons is the point lol

Also whats some good ways to insure you drown the coons if you do target them with pockets?

If you’re going to have a tripped trap, may as well have something to show for it. At least you’ll be helping the ground nesting birds.

Take the chain off the spring. Put a rivet through the hole in the frame opposite the spring. Right under the pivot of the jaws. Attach the chain there. Coon will pull into the spring stead of away from it. Lots of info on drowning rigs . You may have to drill a hole for the rivet.

Yep coons need thinned out to keep population healthy. Buzzards crows possums and eagles gotta eat too. If humans dont kill a few populations get to big then crash where there is almost none then starts over. Its not a bad thing to cull them back a bit.

The 1.5 LS wouldn't be my first choice for coon. But, if you use 3/32 cable about 5 feet long with a drowning clip and get a front foot catch, you should have a good chance of holding the coon. I always felt thigh deep water would drown the largest coon if it's caught by the front foot.

When I was growing up #1 and #1 1/2 long springs made up most of my traps. Caught more coon than I can count in them. 2 to 3 feet of water is deep enough for drowning

Coon will pull into the spring stead of away from it. Lots of info on drowning rigs . You may have to drill a hole for the rivet. Beat me to it! The coons along my river seem to try everything before they head for the water. Trick is holding them until they head to the deep. Also make sure your trap chain is as far down your slid as you can get it and stake is positioned so trap chain cant get wrapped around it, preventing it from going down the slide.

How deep of water should I be looking for? If you can get the coon into at least 6-8 inches of water , they can't chew . To drown them you need 2-3 feet of water .

Check your regs for restraining traps for coon.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
