I posted this last year, and thought I would show it again. Here is a picture by picture set up of the bucket sets that I use for fox. This should work for racoon and possibly other critters like bobcats and wolverine. If this link doesn't work, you can click on my trophy photos and go to the trapping page. There is a link that shows "view slideshow" and it will take you picture by picture through all of them.

I've had a lot of success with this set up, it's cheap, easy to make, effective and it is easy to handle in and out of the field. I didn't include on their about anchoring the set though, something that should be done with all traps, be it quick kill or not. I have had animals not die right away in these traps but that doesn't happen that often.

220 conibears work great for arctic fox, so they should be adequate for coons. I haven't caught any reds in 220's, but have in 280's and 330's. A 15 gallon bucket works great with that size trap. A 220 conibear fits perfectly in a 5 gallon bucket.

Good trapping!
