Glad I got my trapping license this year

[Psehunter]

Boy am I happy that I took the class and got my license this year!

Lol, coons are more work than what they are worth! A couple DPs with cheap cat food, some stinky scent, and a marshmallow will take care of them. Spread them out, if a coon sees one caught they won’t return. Make sure you set them where they can’t pull out their hand by using a tree for leverage. I usually use ground stakes.

Thanks for the advice, I know they are more work but they will make good practice of skinning fleshing and boarding up ..I rather practice on a coon then a fox or yote if I happen to get one of them

Fish baits bring skunks in my personal opinion.. Stick to sweets

Nonsense. I've doubled and tripled in a good spot for coons. Gang set it for best catch percentage chances

PSEHUNTER,

 

Enjoy the ride.

 

You will learn more each and every time you set up.

 

Learning curve......

 

Gang set for coons. It will pay off.

 

You will be kicking butt in no time at all.

i would have 5 dp's set there, take the cream in one night

[gobblergetter]

Keep the dps far enough apart that a caught coon can't reach another trap, or else he will have a trap on each hand. Thus plugging up a trap for one trap night.

Dps can't hurt to much , cause they will and do stick their free hand right in another trap if able too.

They are good practice and easy but fatty and messy.

Ok I have the same problem the coons are eating more corn then the deer . I was not going to set for coons but they are everywhere. Last year at space farm did anybody want them and what was the ave.last time I trapped I couldn't get Reed of them had to wait 2 year at auction to sell. Any information would be great.

[rgw]

they all moved. avg was probably $5 with the best and best putup probably $10. dont hold me to those numbers because I cant remember yesterday let alone 8 months ago

[Mixbaghunter]

I here you I am the same way. Just can't see trapping something that does sell at all thanks for the information

Looks like a target rich environment there, good luck and have fun Pse.

i get a lot of bait pile coon every year.

hunters are tired of feeding them. so i come in, gang set DP's and take the cream in one night.

they are greasy, but we do not have the fox numbers to target them. so to keep the fur rolling, it's coons. 

[Mixbaghunter]

Is there anybody buying fur during the season.to pay as the season goes for gas and stuff.
