don't ignore wet weather springs and dry branches that just have a puddle of water here and there. these can be great locations for catching coon, especially if they run through oak timber or have other food sources along them. i make pocket sets in the puddles and the dry stretches. where it's dry you do it just like in the water. just bed your trap in the mud. a little bit of leaf cover to blend in is ok, but not necessary for coon if your trap is well dyed. if i think fox may investigate the pocket i'll use a pan cover and dry dirt like a land set. this coon stepped in an uncovered set between two puddles  |
