Couple questions. Are yall actually able to get rid of them for a while or do two show up for every one that dies? Just got a dozen traps but no desire for the extra work if it doesn't make an actual difference. Will I burn more in gas and 22 ammo than I'll save in corn?
Can I attach my traps to trees and just leave them between settings without them getting messed up?
I have been trapping them for 3 years now on our place and I think think the body count is at 74 and each year the number has gone down. I did install eliminator plates on all feeders as well but our corn consumption and feeder issues both have dropped off.
Empty feeders and feeder problems is why I started doing it but now I like catching the little thievin' $!%&*#!. Not only does it add a little something to my experience, i had always wanted a lever action .22 magnum and this was just the excuse I needed. I call it a win/win/win.
Do yall move up on bait? Traps have stopped catching but still a few hold outs on camera. Thinking of mushing some sardines down in the traps. Been using dog and cat food.

Set four and killed 3 last time at the lease, Used moonpie and a couple pieces of corn.
Also wondering how many of y’all just end up with chewed off paws in yalls duke traps? I think I’ve had at least 4-5 of them. Dang coons just knawed their arm smooth off. Guess one less paw to scoop protein [emoji2373]

Caught 3 in town on a trapping job. and 1 nasty opossum. They are so ugly.
Dukes and Z traps. These people have like 20 some cats so have to deal with that, using more marshmallows for these.
