I'm basically a rookie but did manage to trap a few coon last winter. They were my only target animal and probably will be again this year, at least until I learn a little more about trapping.
Victory without honor is a great loss!

76 i seen your dp's on trapperman. looks good and a really simple way to catch the coons. i just used 1 1/2 dukes and 220 body traps in bucket sets last year and got a few. the coyotes arewhat has my interest the most. last year was my first year trapping so i to am still a rookie haymaker. if you need any advice dont be afraid to ask on here. there are alot of pros on here yaz and parkerbow really know what there doing.

Yupp, I'm on trapperman and followed along here last year. I caught coon in 220 trail sets, PVC sets with 1.5 Dukes but most came from Duke DP's. Just picked up some of the Z-trap DP's can't wait to try them out.

I can catch a LOT of coons in blind sets in culverts, under bridges, under root wads on the the creek banks, and pocket sets with steel traps. With my limited time in the winter with calving and feeding, I saw the DP's as a quicker/easier way. I did catch a few (very few) in the DP's this past season. I actually caught more coons in coyote snares, and traps than I did in the DP's. That is one aspect of trapping I am going to focus more on this season. Hopefully, I can figure it out.

ive caught a few thousand over the years. Never used the DP traps. Like the idea but not the price. Best traps i have ever found are #11 longsprings. Gives a good paw catch, coons cant chew or pull out.

DPs certainly have their place, but they are "mink and muskrat proof" also... Exactly! I mostly used the DP's in areas around the houses and barns, where I didn't want any domestic by catch.
