Thanks everyone. The 2 for 2 was just on the first two groups of traps I set that night, overall I went 9 for 14 that night but I was still pretty happy. I learned a few weeks later that I wasn't an unfailable trapper when I went 0 for 14 on a clear night with a full moon. Then a couple weeks after that I went 3 for 14 two nights in a row. In total I caught 15 raccoons on my 160 acres.
I think I really put a dent in the population, my neighbor put out some live traps and had gone 3 for 3 with them last year and didn't catch anything this year. I let him borrow a couple lil griz and he caught 1 raccoon with the lil griz in 3 nights.
Things are looking up for the turkey and quail nests around the area this spring!
