Today we will be featuring one our our local trappers Mike Midkiff. Mike has over 30 years experience trapping in south Alabama. After taking a break for a few years he has gotten back into trapping with the fur market at all time highs. Mike has a full time job so he generally runs a line close to home so he can get up early and check the line before work and at night does all his work in the fur shed.
Mike has been running his line for 3 weeks and I have posted his results below. Majority of the sets he has used has been dirt hole sets.
The Dog Proof Raccoon Trap is one of the best selling raccoon traps on the market and we decided to test out the Ztraps version and make a video for our customers. In this video we used all three color variations of the Ztrap. They come in White, Brown and Camouflage. We used 9 total traps ( 3 of each color ) at 3 separate locations.
We baited the traps with a mixture of corn, high protein dog food, marshmallows and Coon Catcher Lure. Traps were staked down with Berkshire Disposable stakes and attached to the cable with a quick link.
The traps were left out for 5 days and we caught 2 opossums and 3 raccoons. The three coons were caught on a brown, white and camo trap. Take a look at the video below at the 5:00 mark for raccoons caught.
Well after two nights of baiting our Duke Large Raccoon Trap we have caught our Coon. We used our Bandit Bait Raccoon Bait in our trap by taking a stick and dipping it in the bait. We used about 1/2 to 1 oz. of the lure on the stick. We have videoed the release of the coon showing an easy way to open the door without having to get your hand near the door when he runs out. We hope you enjoy the video !
Bandit Bait Product Description:
Fleming Traps Bandit Bait is a thick, highly concentrated paste bait made from the coon’s favorite foods and ingredients. This tantalizing bait is irresistible all season long. This sweet smelling bait lasts for weeks at a set.
Bandit Bait is used by Fur Trappers and by government and private Animal Damage Control Specialists nationwide. This bait works great in cage traps, dirt hole and pocket sets. 6 oz. Jar.
Here is a great picture of a coon caught in a Duke Dog Proof Raccoon Trap. This coon was caught by Ty Woodall using our Coon Catcher Lure. If you notice in the picture the DP Coon Trap is rusted. Many people are used to dying and waxing their other traps and always ask us if they need to do it with the dog proof traps. Our response is you can but it is not necessary with a raccoon. As you can see with this coon he did not care about the rust on the trap !
Customer Pictures: Our customers are welcome to send us any pictures they might have of catches using our Fleming Traps Lures. We will post them on our Facebook Page and Blog with your permission of course.
