[QUOTE="MarlinSlayer, post: 5543019, member: 12813"] So I live 95 minutes from my property but willing to spend a weekend up there camping with my adult sons do to some work. Figure that would be a good time to run some traps. Never done it before so I have a few questions. I could look it up, but I'm lazy and I think I know the answer. Is there a season for trapping raccoons? (I just looked it up in the hunting guide..so I know season is open for Coyotes, Grinners (just learned that = Possum), and raccoons. Regarding Coons.... hey are considered a nuisance animal right? No season right? What do you do with the animal? Is there any commercial value? I know you can eat possum....not sure I'd want to. Coyotes...I have no problem with dispatching them and disposing of them....in general I'm not into killing for the sake of killing, but this serves a good purpose....No problem with killing Coyotes, Armadillos, etc....or rats for that matter. I know population control is good management...just want to make sure I'm not wasting it. Second, I have a lifetime license and I now that covers trapping, but since this is my land, my sons should be able to trap w/o license under landowner exemption (i know they can hunt under the exemption) correct? Is a weekend a month enough to do any good? I know anything probably helps.....but other than the novelty of it, will it pt a dent in any populations at all? If you prefer to answer by PM, then please do..... [/QUOTE]
