I threw out some ztraps yesterday as I figured the coons would move last night. I attach my traps to a 6' cable with adjustable loops on both ends. The one end is connected to the trap with a j-hook. Apparently I didn't squash the j-hook completely shut (probably in a hurry) and today when I checked the first pair of traps one was gone. The cable is still there but the trap is gone. I feel like crap, losing the trap is bad enough but now there's a coon running around with a ztrap on its paw.
Of course now the cold weather is moving in so I suspect they'll hole up but I'm going to put a few more sets in the area with plenty of food and hope to catch it again for it's sake.
Time to re-check all of these connections even though I was sure they were put together well before.
