We started trapping with y'alls help this week and have gotten 6 coons and 3 opossums. Pretty decent so far but many more to go. Do y'all continue running traps during turkey season? If so, does it spook turkeys much/all the driving through the property isn't ideal and all...what are y'alls opinions on the matter? Thanks!

Yeah we moved the traps to where we typically don't see too many turkeys and all, but with us only catching 11/12 or so critters, I doubt we would see an improvement in the turkey population. Coosa and North40R, would trapping so little improve it much at all based on y'alls experience? When do y'all start trapping the coons and all because we are deer huntin till the last weekend and don't want to hurt the deer hunting and all?

I do the majority of my trapping during deer season. That's mostly when folks call and need me to trap and it's about the only time the weather is cool enough for my liking.
If you're trapping for predator management to increase game populations there isn't a wrong time to put traps out. If you want to help increase nest success trap your coons and other nest predators hard now. If you're trying to help fawns trap your coyotes in June, July, August and September. You aren't going to eradicate predators, you're trying to reduce the population of predators in an area at the right time giving your young game time to mature.
My schedule dictates when I can put out a big line of traps but if I'm off a weekend and have seen sign on our place I'll make a couple sets no matter what time of the year.
Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. Emerson
