[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2044303, member: 15643"] Just make sure they're tall enough, I prefer 18" or taller, width doesn't seem to matter. I have caught a couple in a 15" tall one that I have, but last year there were several times where I saw cat tracks around it in the snow or mud. Doesn't seem to happen with the taller ones. Prefer one with a cable from the pan to door, or if it has a metal trip rod, try to make sure it's on the out side of the cage, a coon will turn that rod into a pretzel. Going to try some from Cali that justin_h635 referred to. I made three of these last year, had to add some smaller wire around the back to keep coons and grinners from just reaching thru the sides, about $45 a piece to make them. They're 20" tall, 12" wide and 42" long. Things I would change if I were going to make more: Put the trip pan closer to the door, cat's will lunge forward when spooked, and make them 9 or 10" wide.
