Trapping Thread 2024/2025

So, most of my area is sucked up bad with private property and real estate companies etc. They call it the checkerboard effect. Trouble I been having is finding coon. Are you guys trapping private or woodland ? Do coons live in the wild or stay close to humans ? Is this hard and fast or open to other variables ?

Find a corn field, or cattle feeding operation.

Look around for the biggest gnarliest old trees.

There will be a trail from the food source to the Denning area, (gnarly old trees).



In areas without corn id imagine the waterways are the food source.


There they can den in trees , and, or old beaver bank dens.

So raccoon do live in wild? Does the wild have to be near humans or do the occur naturally. Please bear in mind I moved from the city ( don't blame me for where I was born ) to the country ( where I commuted large distances from the city I was born in, against my will to be at peace in ) and the coons I know I know are trash panda city rodents.... Here is not the same scenario

My son and I set a dogproof out yesterday just for something to do. Got a nice boar this morning.

The picture was a big inconvenience for him. He wanted to play on the ice.
