Raccoon and Opossum Trapping - The Management Advantage
Спорт
Trapping is an integral part of any property management program. Reducing coyote numbers is often the focus of most trappers, but raccoon and opossum trapping should also be a part of the focus. Not only are they nest predators that hinder the success of quail and turkeys, but they also have a negative effect on properties utilizing a supplemental feeding program.

Thank you!
I have the same xtra large hilltop trap. I have to wire bait to the back in order to get it to trigger the door to shut.
We take out all the nest predators. Regardless of what the bleeding heart folks say. I’d rather see more turkeys and quail anytime!
I had the same problem with baiting the live cage traps. My uncle showed me to dig a small hole so that the bait is level with the ground and then set the trap on top of it where the trigger will go off. Give it a shot.

And as a way to save your bait you can use a tin can like from a can of veggies and bury it.
Can you upload recent stuff??

I use peanuts on cave traps, just drop them between the wires on the top.
Those cage traps by Hilltop cage shop cannot be found anywhere on the Internet, anyone know why?

Look for comstock traps. BEST on the market IMHO. Those and Tomahawk cage traps.
I can catch an opossum every day for 3 months and next year they’re overpopulated. Same with coon
Sorry, but I can not find anyone with the kind of trap that you described. Can you provide more info on Hilltop cage please?

Jeff: If you make any more youtube videos please jack up the volume !! Your video is extremely hard to hear on my old laptop and I suspect that has a very negative effect on the number of views and comments. It surprises me how many people take the time and energy to upload videos without being adequately mic'd up. I had to add this video to a playlist to watch later by casting my laptop to my TV which has much better speakers. But I wonder how many people would be willing to do that.

I have trouble with the raccoons scaring away the mature bucks that’s at my feeder and they eat up all my deer corn
2:42 opossum has very little value in the market but they make great dog food plus they taste like wild turkey and have no funky glands
Bobcats and raccoons foxes coyotes they eat the Turkey eggs
All PETA MEMBERS...roll tape at 8:25. Get informed.
I have a raccoon I've been trying to trap for months, but so far he has evaded everything I've tried, which is everything in this video and a few more things. He either steals the bait without triggering the trap or trips the trap without getting caught. I've tried hanging the bait, burying it under the trap, tying it to the back of the trap and wrapping the trap in a blanket--nothing works. Anybody have any other ideas how I can catch this critter?

Torture opossums
Put some food out for the opossums and raccoons that will save your nests!! A bag of feed should be good for about a week; you can actually relocate the animals by moving the feed source away from your property!!!

I hope you relocate the opossums. They are marsupials-- the only ones we have in North America! Excellent pets!!! Wonderful animals , and they don't get rabies, unlike cats and dogs.

Louis Concordia Possums are the least likely of mammals to have rabies. Plus they eat thousands of ticks each year. They eat snakes too. They are mire beneficial than anything.

bank80 they might be least likely but they still get rabies and yeah they eat ticks but that’s not a really big problem and also snakes a highly beneficial to rodent control
Opossums have been in this world for +65 million years, they walked with dinosaurs and they survived their apocalypse. I am pretty sure they will make it long after humans and our greed is gone.
