So the coons dig and live in a burrow, like a badger?

Don’t need to buy a setter if you got a piece of PVC. Push it against a tree, stick in PVC to hold spring open, and set the trigger.

I don’t carry a tree with me everywhere I might set a DP. And my new batch of No BS DPs are plenty stout. Or I’m plenty weak. At any rate I like have a setter along with me. And the mud brown mine was originally made it a joy to find if I set it down one the ground.

Living adjacent to a golf course helps my DP trapping. Since coons easily get trap shy, I set a golf ball on top of the trap. Helps shed rain, and keeps mice out. I drill a shallow hole in the ball also, to put a little fish oil in, if desired. I’ve learned their favorite color, and just about learned their favorite brand.
