Hi all, 49 year old newbie here.    Just started raccoon trapping after we moved full time to our 80 acres. Bought a raccoon starter kit from Iron Trail Trapline. Got the 6-pack Bridger DPs.  Caught 5 raccoon and 1 possum already!    I will have coyote traps prepped for the start of next trapping season.    Looking forward to spending some time here learning. Hunter8282 |  |  |
