Nice! ^^^ Sure beats finding this on your next check. If you hold the barrel up off the ground a bit you can eliminate some of that.
Act like a blank, get treated like a blank. Insert your own blank!

Do you suppose a cap on a DP that requires a bit of thinking on the 'coon's part to remove might select for an older (and therefore larger) 'coon? NO just the smarter ones.

Seen some studies college students did with coons putting food in complex boxes. Coons had to figure out how to get food out. With coons it seems to be more of a learned behavior for a reward. Maybe Muskrat is right. Racoons in MO state park campgrounds can get a Yeti cooler open faster than the owner.

In regard to Paul’s post. Years ago, Wilson was President, a tip in FFG recommended wrapping foil on the pan. Place a little under water. Coons gotta play. Still works. Agreed, have problem with them and beaver traps in shallow water with traps that have shine left on the pan.

A simple DP cap can be made by cutting a 1" piece of 3/4" pvc pipe and gluing on a pvc end cap.
The caps can be placed in the partially depressed DP spring after putting in the bait. The spring will hold the cap in place. Pre-bait the DPs at home....toss in the truck...When on location....grab one and go.....anchor, compress, set....
