Had both out here at one time or another and nothing. I was actually trying to think the last time I seen a possum out there and honestly can't think of any in the last 2 years. I'm wondering if the yote haven't thinned them down a bunch catching them on the ground?
I would say that they have had to because they're definitely plugging up my traps no matter what bait I put in them.

I've been catching them in my yote sets. That is my biggest problem I can't keep a set open more then a day without a damn possum in it.
One coon, one possum, (Lord knows I can't go a day without catching one of those fuggers), and one more less cat.
21 coon
26 rats
2 mink
16 grinners
1 skunk
1 blue jay

Another stinking grinner and a really stinking skunk. I had my first coon pull out of a dog proof last night. Must have been a big fugger, that's only the second one ever to pull out of my z traps.

I think I'm going to skin the big ole boy out and get it tanned for my man cave. He's a biggin. Haha. I just shoot them behind the front shoulder and I haven't had one spray yet.
I've really been wanting one for my man cave so this one would be a fine one. Haha. I got my gloves and my clothes pin. Haha

Yea they suck to deal with. Your day was about as good as mine. I had another goose egg today. I think I would rather have that then a peppi lapu lol. That is a big poll cat that's for sure.
I got it all skinned out and then scrubbed it with peroxide and baking soda. Smells fresh as a daisy, no shit. My buddy is gonna flesh it with a power washer tomorrow. That is slick as hell. Nice for tender stuff because it's a lot harder to rip the hide.
I just really want one in my den that I actually trapped. Trying to get one of everything I have ever caught. That's why I am wanting a red and a grey fox so bad.
Had one coon today. My buddy showed me his power washer and fleshing nozzle he has been using to flesh his critters. It worked really good on my skunk but I don't think it would be the way to go if you had a lot of critters to do. Seems like it would use a lot of water. I have my skunk hanging and drying and I'm gonna put it on a stretcher tomorrow.

No critters this morning. Pulling all my traps tomorrow morning and won't be back out until after next week. Gotta work 12 hours all next week and seriously don't wanna spend 1 1/2 hours running traps in the dark after a 12 hour day. I'll get em back in the ground next weekend.
