Thanks for the pictures. Your box is a deterrent for bigger dogs but a small brittney, beagle or terrier has no problem wearing a BG from that size box,,,,,,,,,,, SO as an added preventative I assume you use an attractant like sweet candies, sugars and non meats to avoid the small guys I have my record of 35 red fox in BG's in one year (set on purpose) without a dog catch but no bait was used so my experience has been ------ knowing more about your quarry's habits, is probably better to avoid non targets than techniques. Thanks again. My take................................................. the mike

Dog proof body grip boxes are also pretty much coon proof.

Volkers collapsible cubbies are really good , I use the 160 box and also use some cat litter buckets Volkers collapsible cubbies are really good , I use the 160 box and also use some cat litter buckets I looked these up. Pretty cool. Have you used the 220 model to catch coon?
May God bless you and yours

I think that when using coon boxes your tying to force that critter to get down on It's belly to get In the box. And I think that's a problem. I had better luck by raising the mouth of the box up at a 45 deg angle. But for the most part I don't use any type of box.
