Overview
Built for nuisance control around the house, yard, or trapping line, this dog-proof trap is intended to capture raccoons while avoiding pets and other non-target animals. Its straightforward setup uses a bait tube, tempered spring, lever, laser-cut trigger, cap, and padding, and it can be baited, anchored, and left exposed without needing to be buried. The included 10" twin loop anchoring chain is strength rated to 110 lbs., giving you a secure way to position the trap where raccoon damage is an issue. It is a practical choice for hunters and trappers looking for a ready-to-use option for fur trapping and raccoon-specific nuisance control.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for raccoons, so it is not intended as a general-purpose trap for other nuisance animals.
- The trap is described as ready to use out of the box, but it still requires baiting and anchoring before deployment.
- Its exposed setup is part of the design, which may not suit users looking for a concealed or buried trap.
- The 10" twin loop anchoring chain is strength rated to 110 lbs, so placement and anchoring should be matched to that limit.
