    Need to be close by please, larger than squirrel traps. I think the 32"x12x12 will do a coon or smaller? Would even borrow if you don't want to sell Thanks

    Hi Frank,
    youtube has vids on homemade coon traps. Some pvc and screws, trash can & plank and others more elaborate. It also depends if you plan to relocate or dispatch them (if lawful) as removal from some traps would be hard with a live critter! There are dog proof versions too. I converted a large metal/wire dog crate, used a rat trap as the trigger. Hung bait in rear, coon pulls bait, rat trap snaps pulling wire to nail that holds vertical sliding drop closure. 100% capture when triggered!
    Good luck.

    Spray a little orange paint on them before you release them , I'll bet that some of them will make it back to their original AO.

    I had bought a set a couple of years ago and trapped 4 opossums and 3 feral cats with no problems. If I can find out what the grandsons have done with the large one I will get back to you
