  • Trapping is an integral part of any property management program. Reducing coyote numbers is often the focus of most trappers, but raccoon and opossum trapping should also be a part of the focus. Not only are they nest predators that hinder the success of quail and turkeys, but they also have a negative effect on properties utilizing a supplemental feeding program.

    We take out all the nest predators. Regardless of what the bleeding heart folks say. I’d rather see more turkeys and quail anytime!

    I can catch an opossum every day for 3 months and next year they’re overpopulated. Same with coon

    I had the same problem with baiting the live cage traps. My uncle showed me to dig a small hole so that the bait is level with the ground and then set the trap on top of it where the trigger will go off. Give it a shot.

    Most country folks know this information, it’s the city dweller’s that need educated not just about the value of the trapper but the regular use of a tool called a firearm.

    I hope you relocate the opossums. They are marsupials-- the only ones we have in North America! Excellent pets!!! Wonderful animals , and they don't get rabies, unlike cats and dogs.

    Opossums have been in this world for +65 million years, they walked with dinosaurs and they survived their apocalypse. I am pretty sure they will make it long after humans and our greed is gone.

    I use peanuts on cave traps, just drop them between the wires on the top.
