RE: Trapping HELP
This was my first year trapping too. Me and a buddy got together and had pretty good success.We caught several coons because thats whatwe mostly had in our area.They are easy to find because they leave distinctive tracks and I believe are easy to trap. I had success setting traps along the bank where i could see where the coons were coming out of the water. I also had luck with a pocket set. I would suggest that you use a drowning rig to dispatch your coons. I had several pull out of my traps that didnt have a drowner on them. When is the season inIllinois? Imjust across the river and would love to trap over there if i had a place.
