its getting expensive to buy enough beer to drink while waiting for these coons to follow my bait so I can get a shot with my bow. It might be cheaper to buy a live trap. My neighbor whos house is right behind my dog door is a Sargeant with the Seattle PD, I really dont want to send any kind of bullets into his house.

No coons yet, I wonder if they lay low when it is this cold?

They will hunker down some when it is cold, but like deer they need to eat more when it is cold too so they will move to eat. Try putting an open can of tuna in the trap, smell might draw them in quicker (might get a cat quicker too though).

Hopefully we don't see your house in the background on KING 5 with Jim Foreman interviewing the 5 yr old girl that found an arrow in the side of a coon rofl

Get that seal bomb and duct tape it to the arrow first.

I love this thread thumbs

After you catch the coon in the trap, throw a tarp over the trap, run a vac hose from your rig's exhaust, shove it under the tarp and after a few minutes of idling, problem solved. They're a lot easier to relocate when the fight's gone out of them.

My next door neighbor is a Sargent with the Seattle PD and has an 8 year old daughter. He is an avid hunter, and is having the same coon trouble that I am. If his daughter found a coon with an arrow sticking out of it I would probably get my arrow back and a case of beer.

Feed them on a schedule, put your last supper tray out after dark and pull it before you go to bed. Let them get used to it for a week or two and then start knocking them off like carnival ducks. Keep it about 10 yards from where you plan to sit. If you can put a flood light on the feeding station all the better. Harvesting them with a bow is easy, make your station directional so they have to come into it facing you. Here's a little tip, when they come into your station let them take a bite or two, come to full draw and aim just above the coons head, now whistle. The coon will stand up on its hind legs to see what the noise is exsposing it's vitals to you where you are already aiming. Should be easy from there, typically it's a short trip on their back and done. Happy hunting...

Nice tutorial Hatch. I could see that whole program rollin in my minds eye.
I fooled around one time camping up on the peninsula, and my buddy and I tried to get a coon on a string. Light twine made into a small lasso type of deal. We'd lure 'em in with marshmallows, and eventually caught one by it's hind leg. It was a pretty big one too. Not that smart really....You should see how violent them become when they get snared. Still makes me giggle 15 years later.

Neighbor traps, then gases them in his fish cooler-effective.
Had a mom and a few babies in the yard one day. The mom took off and left the young ones behind. Talk about a mean ferbie! Decided a net would get the job done:

They got a little hose down and took off running.

That's not a proper C&R net. . . I'm assuming you kept that one and marked it on your card. . . .
