That would be 43 coons per sq mile for every sq mile……….PCP said he caught 6 last time he trapped. You’re using numbers from studies done in farming country…….but lets go with your estimate anyways……If coons are responsible for 30% of nest mortality which is a low end estimate…..some studies show them as high as 50%.......and you take out 6.5% of the coon population……Then that would equate to a roughly 2% increase in average nesting success rate…….Let’s say we take 1000 hens that would give us an extra 20 successful nests……If we say that each nest had 10 eggs then that would produce an extra 200 birds per 1000 hens……. This doesn’t even take into account the fact we’ve likely taken out just as many possums with the incentive.
