My place is small. I only run 2-3 traps. When I first started trapping 3-4 years ago, got way more coons than possums. It was kind of rare to get a possum. I’m 7:1 possums to coins this year. One of my traps is in the yard. Both coons and possums get on porch and eat cat food. But it’s been more possums this year.
“Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.”
On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

Been slow for the last week with all the rain.....I caught a double last night though with two more male coons.....New total is 21 coons and 14 possums
BTW.......I've been trying something just to see if it made a difference.....It doesnt seem to matter if your cat food gets wet and turns to slop inside the DP....just sprinkle a little bit of fresh on the top of it and they'll still get caught just the same

I was wondering that I’ve been dumping the old food out Yeah, I used to do that too but there's no need to.....It may even work better to have that mush in the bottom with some fresh sprinkled on top. Once they get those few fresh pieces eaten they probably reach down into the mush thinking the trigger is just another piece of cat food....I've trapped for 6 weeks or so now doing nothing but just taking a bag of cat food with me and sprinkling a little bit of fresh bait into the traps every few days.....mainly to keep the scent good and fresh.
