[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 5593865, member: 7419"] yeah it is mice and birds. however I have had less luck for whatever reason with the Z traps vs. the regular traps. I think the reason (at least my reasoning) is that the regular dukes dog proofs are pull traps, but z traps are push/pull. I think when the coon reaches down there to get the last piece of bait and pulls up on the regular traps his paw is further in than if he trips it pushing down. I had a coon get trapped this year and I had a cell cam on the trap. he was rolling all over the place. I got in the truck to go dispatch him (I don't live on my land). By the time I got there he had pulled his foot out. I've caught 3 possums and a coon on the regulars and this would have been my first Z trap catch if he'd have stayed on. [/QUOTE]
