LOL Got him! He had been up there all night without food or water, so he was ready.
Bob, the yard the two curs were in was fenced. It was divided into two sections so that I could separate them if needed.
The tree the coon was in was on one side of the yard. I put both dogs on the other side and shut the middle gate. I put the baited trap on the side the coon was in. I had two Curs and a Bloodhound on the other side raising cain. That coon wanted out of that tree but not before grabbing the apples. LOL Got him!

I live-trapped about 8 coons here this year. We are in a remote area with woods near the house. Damn coons were destroying my mouse traps around the perimeter of the house, not just eating the bait, but ripping the traps apart. My live-trap stays out there waiting for the next one....it is empty this morning. Has been 3 weeks since I got one. Coons are nasty and destructive.
