I was going to share some pictures with y’all but I can’t get post image to load my pictures 🤷🏻♂️
Anyway I caught 5 coons and 2 possums during my week of trapping. Since I cleaned up the varmints I had around feeders last time home it was extremely slow for the amount of DP’s I had out. I had to set on fresh sign to catch the few I did.
Now for the good stuff. After watching hours and hours of trapping videos on YouTube I set my first 8 foot hold trap’s I have ever set in my life Wednesday and Thursday. I have a lot more than 8 traps but I quickly learned it is work setting those things!! I had every intention of setting more but weather forecast kept calling for rain so I decided to go with what I already had set. I caught a bobcat Friday and caught my first song dog this morning. It was probably beginners luck, but I hope not. I have confidence in my trap setting ability now. I’ll get serious about it moving forward 😉 Nice, you'll get faster and better at it with practice

Add two more possums and a coon from yesterday. Opening day for turkey is this Saturday in NW Florida.

If it rains Friday like they are predicting, do yall think it'll be too wet to set traps out Saturday?

Caught my first 3 trash pandas over the weekend. I know for sure it was beginners luck🤣 ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/jjjz6n0K/77-DA7-A14-2-D22-4-C40-B2-A4-B9522-A4-BD669.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/ZqD6wY4N/BF662-E90-C897-40-D4-9-D0-A-AA185-D8-A1-AB9.jpg)

One of my dog proofs disappeared over the weekend. The anchor stake too. My guess is a yote came cruising by and decided it needed my trapped critter and made off with it......

I lost a MB trap about 4 weeks ago. Looked for it for atleast 2 hours. Landowner sent me a picture of a coyote in it this morning. Luckly it was in a spot they drive by daily. On X dropped my pins way off because I didn't have cell phone service. Lesson learned. I feel good about my trap bedding I guess

If it rains Friday like they are predicting, do yall think it'll be too wet to set traps out Saturday? Depends on your soil. In some sandy loam soils, you're good to go. Heavier clay soils probably a no go. The property is located really close to Shark Tooth Creek and the Sipsey River borders the property, off of State Route 14 heading towards Aliceville. As of now they are saying 1/2 to 3/4 inch of rain Friday....go figure! My only time in months to get out to go somewhere and the rains come! argghhhh!!

Go ahead and get a couple buckets of dry dirt saved up and you'll be good to go, I use peat moss on the inside of my traps. It can rain for 2 days straight and if you set the trap off the peat moss will still be dry.

X2 on the dry dirt. You can also find dry dirt in old barns etc.
Side note, one of the guys I gave "lessons" too a couple of Friday's ago connected on not one but two coyotes this morning. He also connected at a dirt hole set he put in on the initial visit.
