Coons trapped or caught on the year

[toejam]

Hello, this year we began trappiing coons. I just was wondering how many anyone else got as of now. I want to see how many coons are trapped by BYCers over the year.

5 so far this year.

I was talking to a neighbor yesterday and he's shooting them from out his window at night so I may be almost done for a month or 2.
He also got a fox. Good neighbor's!

I trapped at least 20 last yr and a few so far this spring, you will see more when the kids go off their Mama's and the mama's go off to fatten back up. So around June or so you should see an exposion of coons and attacks, so stay vigilant and keep those traps baited and save your chickens.

1 done in so far this year. I suspect more are in the area and are a bit trap savvy. Got a dummy of a neighbor up the street from me that the raccoons love to visit. She has many more birds than I do and while she and her new beau sat on the back deck recently, the coons started to gather under her back deck while they were sitting there and she didn't do a dang thing about it!!!

Heck, as long as the critters are visiting her place and not mine, I can live with that! I just can't understand someone that doesn't seem to feel some sort of urgency in protecting their flock.
