I have the Dukes as well but prefer the "Z" traps. Dukes are pull up trigger and the "Z" traps are tripped by pulling up or pushing down. I am not sure about the brand you are looking at there.

Thanks for the responses. I should have started on them back when I just had a couple coons, now I'm infested with them. I'll pick up a few traps and get busy.
I caught over 30 with that type of trap last year. Used cheap cat food and a marshmallow. it sure has helped our turkey population. Use to only see 5 on the cameras at one feeder now we see up to a dozen at two feeders.

They work well. If you attach your trap chain to something solid, some of the bigger coons will pull their foot out so tie off to a limb with some flex will help for those big ones. If the traps stay set for a long time, the springs will get weaker and coons can escape easier. Note: I've only experienced weak springs on some of my traps that are 7-10 years old and paid for themselves many times over.

I have a handful and use when I start seeing more raccoons than deer on my cams. Last year I cleared a bunch out in the Spring and will get busy again now that season is over.

I have a couple dozen. Just about time to start setting them out again. Love walking up to the pen first thing in the morning and have 4 or 5 of these bastards caught up, awaiting to become buzzard food.

I lost one to a coon once because not being staked down good. 5 days later he came back with my old trap and caught him with the other hand. I was happy to get my trap back but more amazed that he hadn't got himself hung up somewhere and died.
