Warning! If you have a coon sized live catch trap, it needs to be tied down with wire or staked down.
I put one of these out behind my chicken yard last week. Over the last 2 years I've caught maybe a half dozen coon this way, resettling them down by the lake some miles away.
Friday the trap disappeared and this weekend I searched for it in the yard and the woods. Today I found it down in the ditch by the road, where the coon had dragged it a long long way before dying, probably of hunger and thirst. What a terrible way to go. Not even a chicken thief deserves to go that way.
