In my head it makes sense that the best time to trap egg raiders is during the nesting season so a couple weeks ago I started and so far have caught 4 raccoons and 2 possums. Now that turkey season has started my numbers should go up pretty fast. I'll set them every afternoon I hunt and check them the following day after my morning hunt. I'm using dog proof traps due to being easy to carry around and just a few seconds to set. Has anyone else started doing this? Having any luck. I will set a few dirt hole traps also for Bobcat and coyote eventually.

I’m thinking about running some on the weekends when I’m off and able to check them

We’ve been trapping every year from right after deer season until the start of deer season for the past 3 years. So far this year since February 10th we have caught 18 coons, 4 possums, a fox, and 14 hogs. All I can say is trap as much as you can as it’ll only benefit the turkeys.

I run dp traps on a route that I will often take trying to strike birds on one of my properties. I carry a sturdy oak limb with me and a jar of bait to reset the traps. One good lick over the head will normally take care of them, and you aren't shooting a gun messing up the turkey hunting.
