I'm about to the end of the 2025-2026 season. This weekend I'll pull the traps out, prep them for storage and begin thinking about placement for next season.
Season Total to date: 22 'coons, 5 'possum, 1 skunk--28 potential nest predators.
The 2026-2027 Raccoon/Skunk/Oppossum season opens August 1 (a mere 116 days) in Missouri. For this upcoming season I will likely change up the trap line based on this year's experience, camera photos and recommendations from this forum.
