Trapping season opens today

[Mark K]

And we’re forecasted to get 5-6” of rain!!!
Think I’ll hold off a week or so before setting, lol.

You can always do some coon thinning! They don't seem to mind the rain

I'm running a little behind in my prep work...I still have traps to dye and wax UGH

Got a bunch of dry dirt put up I might give it a shot

Haha, another couple of inches this past weekend, and they’re forecasting another couple this Friday. Thankful for a long season, lol!
Gonna at least get some DP’s out Wednesday and start on the coon and possums.

Mark, what kind of bait are you using in your DP's? I'm always looking for something better to use...

 

[jakebuddy]

Been doing good during the week between weekend storms picked a coyote, red fox, bobcat and two coons so far. Heck that’s good for me!

Corn around the feeders and until the ants go underground, then cat food and marshmallows with a touch of bacon grease around the top. Everything loves bacon, lol.

Finally setting tomorrow...another couple of inches between last night and now. This has got to be the wettest year I can remember.
And had coons on camera playing in this rain all evening, lol. They seem to like the running water coming off the corn pile that’s in a field.

I have been using corn with fish oil on it with good success but I think I'm going to try some floating catfish food....it's water resistant and cheap. Tight chains brother!!

I've always had good luck with corn and fish oil as well

May have to try the floating catfish food. Thanks.

An old timer turned me onto that so I figured I would give it a whirl...a 50# bag costs $8.00 at Tractor Supply. That will last a long time and when season ends just dump it in my pond! LOL
