Our first coon

[Whit90]

Never been into trapping much, but I want to expose my son to anything and everything hunting and fishing related that I can. We walked the little section of creek we have at the house and found a some tracks concentrated in a small area. Set a dog proof baited with some rice crispy treat. Only took one night. We skinned him out and put the pelt in the freezer to flesh and tan another day. Love getting him out in the woods with me!

I think my house dog realized exactly what he was born for. Lol

Good stuff !

 

[sportsman94]

Great job. I commend you for exposing him to more than the stuff you typically like. Hope I can get my kids exposure to all of it too!

Man how cool is that!

 

[Blackhawk249]

Good memories for the little one and good looking pup too!

Good on you dad ! Y’all making some memories. That first pelt would make a pretty good cap for that young man, it sure worked for me.

Hat tip to good times!

We are going to make something. We set another trap yesterday, but nothing hit it last night.

Very nice looking blue tick.

Try using the miniature marshmallows.

Black licorice cut into small pieces that will go by and under trigger works very well especially in wet weather

 

[Whit90]

Thanks for the suggestion. We re-baited last night with some dog food. Just using what I have here at the house. That dog food has a strong sent to it, so that’s good. Going to check here the trap now.

 

[Whit90]

Nothing. No fresh tracks on our stretch of the creek since the rain either.

 

[Whit90]

Think I trapped the only coon around.

 

[kmaxwell3]

Good job guys.

 

[Whit90]

we ended up getting another one. I don’t have a chance to skin i. Got both in the freezer for another day

I did the same for my son when he was little. We turned him loose on the farm once he was old enough to drive a 4 wheeler. He started setting his own traps and before long was catching coyotes. You’re doing a great thing for your son and you.
