2 grinners and a boar this morning. Of course possum had my K9 set plugged up.
3 pound pan tension and I'm still catching possums and coons.. I don't mind but surprised. MB550 offset held this big boar by the back foot this morning

I only use MB550.never had any critter pull out. Only if they roll on the set will they false fire the trap. Deer will easily pull out.

I know coons are bad on turkey nests but are possums just as bad?

Possums, coons and skunks are your top 3 nest raiders

Thanks. I haven't run any traps the last 2 years, but when I did I always used corn as bait so I would only catch coons (no possums or skunks). Was thinking about setting traps again this year. Guess I should switch to cat food. How do you dispatch a skunk without them spraying?

They say to shoot them in the lungs. Every one I have ever shot sprayed but don't know if I ever lung shot one. I haven't caught any skunks I had to dispatch.

Boar and a sow waiting on me this morning
Shot one last week thru lungs & no spray. I always use hollow points on them.
