I journeyed to my friend's place in Forkland this past weekend and put a few traps out Friday evening and some more Saturday morning. Let me be clear, even with applying skeeter spray, skeeters were absolutely terrible all daylight hours and flat tore me up ! I checked the traps Saturday evening with no activity. We had to leave fairly early Sunday morning so I started pulling my traps about 8:00 am. I had put 7 sets out. No action on any although it did have some armadiller prints at one set. Being used to being discouraged from all the others times that I put sets out,I was hopeful but not too excited to get anything. I came to the last set and lo and behold it had a boar possum in it caught by the left front leg! I know what you guys are thinking...big deal, possums don't count, lol, but it was my first time to have caught anything in a trap. Its no big deal but still kind of was to me . Hopefully I will have better luck next outing. Thanks for reading this. John

Heck - that’s good man - u just starting and not giving yourself several days to check traps is a real disadvantage
My fat butt likes waiting till fall and winter to trap - i usually find coons where I been feeding corn or on pretty hardwoods or by a creek - but if u only hav few days it tufff - but bettr than nothing
Good job - congrats

I whack them over the head with a stick. I did that till I got opossum blood splattered in my mouth one day. Back to shooting them for me

I whiffed on a coon one time and thought - if my fat butt falls into him I will regret it - back to shooting behind the shoulder - head shot way too much blood
