I don’t think anybody is saying that, just that they do everything they can to avoid those catches.

I can only speak for myself but perhaps some of the others will share.

My non-target incidental count is 12. It is as follows; 9 coons, 1 grey fox, 1 grinner and a skunk.

They make up just 19% of the catch this season.

I tend to be in the "gas money" group. Empty traps don't buy gas. Do I prefer to catch a specific critter in a set made specially for it? Oh heck yes!


I trap for fun. I skin 'em for the money!

I like catching fur. Anything but possums. Not keen on skunk either.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

When I trapped my target was mink, I welcomed muskrats and coon.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Trapping my own properties to manage predator numbers, so any predator caught is considered a target even the oppossums grin

If I have to catch incidentals I prefer them to be skunks. Caught a huge one this morning.


Eh...wot?

I try to only catch bobcats but a stupid skunk or coyote will step on my exposed shingle once in awhile.


I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
