220 conibear bucket sets

[at1010]

been thinking about trying these sets. Seem easy and mobile from farm to farm.

I have a bunch of duke coon traps that I love but the bucket set seems to be a nice way to catch them, and kill them quick.

anyone have experience with these? What do I need to get these setup? Looks like I need that trap setter bar or whatever they call it?

thank you for guidance.

Yeah it works great but they are illegal to use. Trap that size has to be submerged under water. We used them all the time back in the day in barns up in the bay lofts.

O dang! That's right, I knew there was a reason I stopped researching this in the past. Why's it illegal? What about 110s? To small for coons?

Can't keep non targeted animals out of them. No catch and release with 220's. I found out on here that they couldn't be used either. I should get refreshed up on the laws I guess lol.

I thought 220s were legal to set dry , but 280s and 330s aren't ? Guess I was wrong
