We all have problems with coons eating our chickens. My additional problem is that I have a dog. I love my dog and don't want her to get caught in a traditional trap. I tried using live traps, but once a coon got in, my dog ate the trap to get to the coon.
So I got to looking for a dog safe coon trap. Here is one I came up with.
It's called a lil griz trap. The idea is that you bait it with marshmallows, or some other sweet treat that a coon will like. They reach inside, the trap closes on their arm, and they are stuck until you retrieve them. It only closes as they pull their arm out. A dog can step on it all day and not set it off. Pretty neat little contraption. Here's the link: http://www.wildlifecontrolsupplies.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=NWS001&Product_Code=WCSGrizz&Category_Code=WCSSS
I have no idea if that's a good price or not. But it's a starting point. Good Luck!
