Catching your target animal

[Trapper_Stephen88]

Thank you for the advice. Your right about there being more possums here than coons. So far this year I've trapped 9 possums. But I did get a chance to spend a few weeks at my grandpa's house,down in Doniphan Mo. The second week I was down there I caught my first,and so far, only raccoon. I ,like you said, looked for trails which is how I caught the coon.At my grandpa's house there's alot of raccoons.He said it wasn't nothing for someone to go coon hunting and in no time get 5 or more raccoons.I guess my problem is thinking the animal is too smart, I heard of a guy who set a trap by a bag of trash not far from his house and caught a fox.I have looked for trails at my house but couldn't find any, so this year I'm going to clear a spot in the woods and make a bunch of brush piles and stuff, to make animals want to live around there.-Stephen
