There are a lot of variables. You can reduce the population to a point. They are like wild hogs. You would have to kill such a high percentage to make any kind of difference. It is more about land protection than total eradication. The land loss is getting better every year but participation is a different story. There are very few true trappers that still run traps every day. Most people are just riding around shooting them. The land I trap is better suited for trapping and not just riding around. Days that I catch 20-30 a day I may only see 1 or 2 that I can actually shoot, but every section of land is different. The weather is the biggest factor. The perfect weather is 30-50 degrees with 1-5 MPH north wind. If it gets any colder or hotter the numbers drop off drastically or if the wind gets to 10-15 at night it will effect them.
2019/2020 totals 634 nutria 9 coons 2 muskrat 1 bobcat 1 mink

To simply trap, a little reminiscing and make a few new memories... After a little thought, I would like to catch a Grey Fox to have as a wall-hanger. I haven't caught one in 32 years since I have moved. It's the only animal I have caught that I don't have a momento for the den. That and catch a coyote in a Pipe Dream Set?
Let's go Brandon!
