All good ideas..I will try them all and let you know which one is the best..

The trap I have out there is one of those have a heart kind..If we get his
ass I am taking him to the lake and drown his sorry ass..

Do they travel in pairs or do you think it was only one of them?

Your idea about the nail sounds good....We used to catch coons like that.
Only we drilled a hole in a hollow log and drove horse shoe nails in on a
slant..We he got his paw in there,he couldn't get it back out without the
nails stabing him...

Thought about wireing the 410 shotgun up..Thanks for the tips...John
