Oh' yes, my first attempts were coon feast.
We would buy 100lbs. Have some friends over. Boil some drink too many beers and then turn the rest loose all in one or two spots about dark. Next morning, nothing but dead bodies everywhere. I started using a little common sense and drinking a little less beer and now I buy my crawfish in the A.M. or around noon. I take them out in the flat bottom boat and I release them in and around vegetation (2'-6' deep water). Like cattails, and other shore line veg. This gives them some instant cover from fish and plenty of daylight to get comfortable before the coons come out after dark. Wear thick leather gloves when handling the crawfish.
