Anyone still trapping?

You mean you been throwing the tooth picks away ?

Yeah- I'm not all about that mountain man stuff, haha.
I mean, a guy has to draw the line somewheres.

Waste chocolate from the M&M plant worked really well for skunks in dp's(for me). I'm not sure where to get any of the waste these days. I guess you could try crushed Hershey bars or Hershey's kisses.

I have 3 dp's and 2 live traps out for almost two weeks and caught 2 groundhogs, 2 coons, 3 possums and two cats that i think a low life dumped out on us. Pretty slow here, very little on cell cams. The only big predator i have around right now are bobcats. Live traps are producing better than the dp's for me. I've been trying freeze dried meal worms and using some fruit mixed in with the other baits. Trying to catch this skunk but catching everything else instead.

Year around trapping was a great move for sure by the agency. It is really helpful to deal with the unwanted varmints around the house in summer.

Never tried chocolate - you seen any problems with ants? Marshmallows the insects love

I was trapping late season usually an by then the insects were not an issue. I can see where they might be a problem in warm weather.
