I like to make these when there is alot of different sign around a certain area. But my main target with this set is coon. But on this type of set it is attractive to coon, fox,yotes,mink,otter, and Bobcat these and all animals must have water to survive. When scouting ponds creeks and streams you will find that there is certain spots were all animals will come for water and looking for food. All watering spots may not be visited by all species. But there are spots where the spot draws all animal as to what the draw to the certain spot is i dont know. But it is there what ever it is. The first pick shows where i have dug a hole about 6 to 8 inches in diameter and about 12 inches deep. The bigger hole draws alot of interest from all animals.
The second pic shows the trap beds with the traps i will use to set this sight with. They are northwoods 1.5 and a no.2 This gives me a variety of traps and both will hold bobcats and yotes and otter. We have a 24 hr check in Missouri so the 2 for coon shouldn't be a problem. Always check early. it will save you some fur.
The 3rd pic shows the traps setting in there respective beds. Be sure and stake these traps at there full chain length. This will keep the animal or animals from tangling in the chains.
The 4th pic show the traps in there beds with some guiding being added. A large rock placed between the traps forces the animals to one side or the other. This will also help to be doubles on coon with this set up.
The 5th pic shows the Traps having been sifted and every thing is in place. But i am not done yet i want to further block them down to either side of the set.
The 6th pic shows some added blocking to further push them into one trap or the other. This makes them choose a point to enter the whole. be it left or right. This pic shows the final set up of the set.
The 7th pic shows the set across the small creek. Along with the large amount of sign that is all along the banks and shore line.
