Trapping Coons

I have been thinking more and more about trapping coons. What do I need to just start out trapping? sizes of traps baits ect. This trapping sounds fun.

Your best bet is contact the Minnesota Trappers Association and ask them for someone in your area who can teach you. It is best to have a mentor so you learn all the proper rules, sets, and things to do to fine tune your sets, and make them less stressfull for the animal.

If you don't want to get ahold of the MTA then find someone in your area who traps and sit down with them and learn.

If you want to get an idea of what trapping in Minnesota will be like, go find the Regs on the DNR webpage and read through them. That is another great place to start. If you can not find a mentor let me know I will see what I can do for you.

Alright I will go do. That I didn't know that people from the MTA would teach you how to trap. Thank you

With your MTA membership, you should get "The Trapper and Predator Caller" magazine.

I have been getting these since the 1970's, and I learn stuff from every issue. One of the best, by far, magazines I get.
