Raccoon trapping

[Badgers80]

6 raccoons and 1 skunk for me since Mid March. Hoping for some coyote action too.

An hour later, I got another one by the house....19 'coons, 5 'possums and 1 skunk. My wife hates opossums because they eat the barn cat food and some of her plants, so today's trapping made her happy as well. I'll be pulling the traps out for the season this weekend.

Still got mine out, the numbers have slowed down but still catching a coon or a possum on ocassion. I never wrote them down, which I guess I should have. Just to compare one year to the next. At this point I am probably closing in on 30 possums and a dozen coons. I doubt any of my neighbors are trapping, so I am guessing by next Winter I will have just as many. I will leave my coon and possum traps out until the middle of June. Picked up another coyote this week from "I can see it from my dining room set." It was the only coyote trap I still had out only because it was in an open field and I figured the odds of accidentally catching a bobcat out there were pretty slim. I would rather just target bobcats in the season where I can legally keep their fur.
