    Coon trapping went pretty good !

    I have been waiting all year to try some trapping finally got the chance last weekend. It went pretty good. I took two coons in 8 sets. I had 2 cubbies and 6 bucket sets. I took the smaller of the 2 with a 220. The larger one was with a 160. I was useing plain marshmellows for both.  I forgot my coon lure so I was pleased with the results.  Things are looking good for this weekend we had a sighting of a couple of large boars that came into the spin cast feeders. Hoping we can get them this weekend. I put the pics up in the varmint section.

    For Oppossum most any bait will work I Think the more it stinks the better.

    Any updates on your trapping cb? I caught one opossum and one skunk in the same trap in the same night. I had an opossum early, then I reset it to find a skunk in the morning. Next time I go up to my place I will set them again. I will post pictures next time, too.
