Good deal! It's taken years of consistent trapping them to get here but for the first time ever I've got chufa patches that are loaded and not a single coon track around them.
Between the coons and possums that I've caught plus the other predators I should have a booming turkey and quail population!
Reducing nest predators that also compete for the same food sources is a win, win situation in my book!
Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. Emerson
