What is your favorite set for coon? This is my first year targeting coon for fur so I don't have a favorite, I'm making a bunch of different sets trying to find what works best.
I am setting my live traps just because I have them already and there is no use letting them set. I am drying them around grain silos, baited with peanut butter.
I am running 4 bucket sets, two with 220's and two with #1 longsprings. I have baited with two different baits, so I get a good comparison. Peanut butter in one bucket with a 220, and one with fish and a 220. Same deal for the foot holds.
I am also running some pocket sets, all in river banks, with fish bate. Some have #1 coil springs, some #1 long springs with non loss springs, and I have even set a few #0 long springs because I have herd they get a better across the pad catch and won't cause the coon to fight as hard, and less space between the pan and jaws to minimize chew out.
