The anti trapping crowd killed more Wildlife in the last 30 years than hunters. But they are too stupid to figure it out.
You can say that again!!! I trap HEAVY locally here for all kinds of nest predators including coon, possum, fox and now coyote and often feel like I am looked down at by even "hardcore" hunters. I have personally seen a huge difference here on my smaller property in the 12 years Ive been here. When I got the place a rabbit was a rare sight, now they are very common. A neighbor releases 50 or so pheasants yearly in the fall for his family and dogs to get after around the holidays and there have been more and more surviving through the years to where pheasants can be heard and sometimes seen year round. Round figure in these 12 years I have trapped or hunted at least 200 coon, 75 fox, 50 possums and 8 coyotes on 115 acres combined between the neighbors and mine.
