Reading an article on mossyoak: http://www.mossyoak.com/our-obsession/blogs/conservation/2013/03/21/trapping-for-better-huntingRoughly 36% of the raccoons trapped over the past eight seasons, were taken with less than 12.5% of the moon’s surface illuminated. When the moon’s surface is illuminated for less than 12.5%, only 27% of a full lunar cycle, then the 36% catch rate during this time becomes more substantial. This trend proves true across years of trapping and many different weather patterns.
The moon has a strong correlation with raccoon movement. If your time to trap is limited, then wait for the “prime-time” to set out your traps, look in the forecast for the new moon. The data suggests that this is the best time for successfully trapping raccoons.I need to go back and look at my notes to see if this parallels my catches. God Bless, David B.
