I like to check mine at first light when possible so most animals haven't been in the trap that long to start with. I had a possum eaten once that I remember when I had to leave some traps for a day because I just couldn't get to them safely because of a flash flood a few years ago. I came up on a coyote trying to get a coon that was caught once but he took off when he saw me. I actually saw the yote first and thought he was in the trap and figured he pulled out until I saw the coon caught in it. Anyway, congrats on the catches guys, those are some nice ones. I hope to get some out in a week or so.

He had to be at work at 6 am so he couldn’t run them until after dark. Almost makes you wonder if you could put a possum in a cage and have live bait. He did say that it was obvious that he probably ran the coyotes off one of the kills. One problem I had was that he couldn’t reset so I had to make a couple of long rides just to set out. Don’t ask, I never figured out why either. Don't give up, don't ever give up!

Well behaved women never make history.~ Out back Quit laughing...I think I broke something. Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzen-Gruben, Baby... I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.

I trapped them for several weeks last spring and ended up taking 24 coons and possums off this one spot. I'll be curious to see if they've come back just as thick this year. We dont rent pigs
