Duke Dog Proof Raccoon Trap

Having never used one of these traps before didn't know how well they worked but having dogs in the area, I thought I'd take a chance.
Was having trouble with raccoons getting into my chicken coop. Set the traps in the area I thought would work best and baited them with dried cat food and marshmellows.
Worked like a champ. Found out they also work on possums.

The trap was easy to set (with the setting tool) and use. I caught an irritating raccoon the first night I used it!

Raccoons had been wiping out our birdfeeders...tried a live box type trap, coons pushed right out of it...have wild turkeys stop buy to pick up what other birds drop, so didn't want to use leg-hold traps...in 6 nights, caught 6 coons, using marshmellows for bait

These traps are well built and very easy to set and use.

I had a trap smart coon who defeated the live trap cage every way you can imagine.

Duke DP caught him first night.

Surprised Fleming doesn't provide trapping tips. Put the trap in the middle of a raccoon path, etc.

Get the set tool. The springs are strong.

The trap has to be fastened to something: tree, stake, buried anchor, etc. Otherwise the coon will run away with the trap.

BTW (1) look at the trapped coon to see if any sign of rabies (violent, foaming at mouth, spastic). Stay well out of reach if there are signs.

(2) there is no way to release the coon (I suppose you could wrap him in a moving blanket, but that would be very, very difficult with a highly likelihood of being bitten). Only way is to kill it.

Good quality and great functional trap. Amazed at grip ability of this smaller diameter trap. Able to eliminate animal in 48 hours, that had been avoiding box traps for 10 months. Set tool is well worth the cost, leverage provided is best safety feature. Used dog kibble for bait in dry location. Bottom line: excellent value.

It works very well, I've trapped and dispatched 5 Raccoons off my 11 acre property in 2 weeks using 2 traps. They were into my Deer Feeders so I had to take them Out! Now they're in a better place! :) Got'er Done!

Excellent item, referred several people already!

I have orders 6 of these traps and set four of them around my deer feeders that have been destroying my feeders. Four night of setting them up and four coons caught. I have been using marshmallows for bait and they work. The "Set Tool" works well in both setting the traps, and an aid in getting the trapped coons out of the trap. Makes it much easier to remove the trapped legs then trying to do it with you hand.

I would recommend these traps to anyone and you don't have to be a pro to be effective trapper. Good hunting......

Best little trap ever, no worries no catching the neighbors dog. I caught two coons in three days. These traps are GREAT!

I give it this product the full 5, raccoons are notorious cabin destroyers. I have seen
this product work very effective. This Dog,
Proof Coon Trap is a must for those critters
that don't belong on your property.

Just ordered 2 of these traps in camo and also got the white end covers to keep smaller bait stealing rodents out. Yes I advise the set tool, makes it alot easier. Will keep you posted on this new product. Thankyou Again,

Excellent trap! Eight coons and two skunks in the first week. Completely satisfied!

Very satisfied. Set the trap up first night and caught a raccoon. Now have caught two.
Works like a champ!

dog proof trap is the best trap I have used. bought 2 traps and caught 4 coons in 1 week. ordering 2 more today.

I have a problem with raccoons, and have tried several traps with no results, but this one really works. I catch one every time I set it. The little devils can't figure this one out.

I run 3 dozen duke dps and all I can say is that I love everyone of them.

never have to worry about non target canines getting at them. 2 thumbs up.

this trap really works!!!! it works like a charm. you should get a few!

These traps out catch any catch 'em alive traps 10 to 1. They are excellent on 'coons, but also work on opossums nearly as well. Be sure to secure the trap to a post or saoling. I've been using wire.

An excellent product.

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First night of use. One huge raccoon using marshmallow for bait. Next night a large skunk also with same bait. Trap works really well.

Wonderful, work each and every time!

Raccoons were destroying my corn. With neighborhood dogs, I needed a special trap. I caught 2 the first night with fishy cat food. Great trap!

I was worried that this trap would work only for coons. Not so! The first thing I caught was that pesky 'possum that snarled at my ankles when I stepped out on our patio at night. Also got the coon that was making mud in the cat's water dish. Hope it works for skunks--still waiting for that. I used cat food for bait, since I already knew they liked it...

Do buy the tool to set the trap! Can't imagine not having that tool.

Works fine, and has been successful in catching raccoon. Harder to set than the viedeo indicates especially on soft ground.

I just put dog food in bottom and placed outside hen house door week later caught first coon he could have wiped me out Great Product and Safe I have 2 dogs Perfect !

This trap works so well, after 3 days of setting it out - 4 dead coon. I haven't seen sign of one since. My chickens are safe again. The last one was pushing 30lbs. he was trying for all he was worth, but he couldn't get out of it.

I had trouble with raccoon clean out the bait no matter what i used. But i also caught some nice coons before i ran into these extra smart ones.

This is a really good trap I got 20 coon so far I think its awesome.

With zero trapping experience I have caught 2 raccoons in 3 days. Using a few pieces of dry cat food in the bottom for bait. Have to use a round steel bar to help set the trap, but I am highly impressed. My thanks go out to the designer.
