Mainly because they are not quite as highly populated here as some locations and it is a challenge compared to other species to rack up any numbers. I've definitely spent the most time out of anything studying them. Follow me on YouTube if you’re bored https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5Ulx1woYMmCN3IPLB0wwFw

I've definitely spent the most time out of anything studying them. It’s crazy how some parts of the country look at one species different than another part of the country. Don’t get me wrong, I like catching them, but I’ve never set for them. They are like possums and will clog up your best coyote sets.

Jerry actually told me yesterday his favorite thing to trap is marten but if he could only trap one species it would be beaver because there way more beaver out there too catch than marten. I thought his favorite was beaver. I like raccoons because while they're not worth much..we got alot of them so there's just about always lots of action on the line IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

Then manage came followed by coyotes and change in farming. I still like catching them little guys though. Just not enough around anymore and like other fur don't bring much. Definitely easier to skin and handle than stinking coyotes. Mac "Never Forget Which Way Is Up"
