The first pic shows the location of a trap set i had last season. So i will use the same location for the set up. I will be using a duke no.11 double long spring trap in this set up. and using egg shells for a scent and bait. This is a natural corridor for the coon and mink. This is what i call the critter super highways.
The second pic is a little dark but what i have done is i dug out the old trap bed and packed new dirt in the bottom for the long spring 11 to set solid. The set i had here last season i had set with a no1 coil spring.
Pic no 3 shows were i have placed the dirt around the jaws and covered the long spring. Then i packed the dirt around the jaws making the set sit tight in the bed.
The 4th pic shows were i have block the set down to force the mink or coon to the jaws of trap. i used material all ready available at the site of the setup. This being concrete chunks.
The 5th pic show the trap has been sifted with fine dirt. And all large objects that could be caught in the jaws of trap have been removed. Then the egg shells have been added for there smell and sight appeal to the set. Now the set is done the dirt has been spread out shells added and blocking to force the animal in. This is a great set for coon mink and fox. which i took 2 fox 1 mink and 27 coon from this exact spot last yr.
I hope this is good info for those looking to use there no 11 traps this season. thanks for looking DH Here is a picture of the final set at the other end of bridge.
