Trapping raccoons can be fun and fairly easy if you can do it right. Some good sets to try are a blind set and a dirt hole set. With a dirt hole set what I find works well is to find a beaver chewed log about 6 inches in diameter and slam it into the mud until you get the depth that you want. Then you should use duck or fish for bait and place a # 1 1/2 pan trap and hide it well. Put this set somewhere so that the animal has to come from the side your trap is on. For a blind set find a trail going through cattails by a slough and put a trap on it. These work very well too but in my experience each trail usually produces one or two coon. GOOD LUCK!
