I went for a ride on my 4 wheeler yesterday,. It was about 12 degrees with a light wind. I had pulled all my yote sets before the ice hit. We didn't get much ice and only 2-4 inches of snow.
Anyway i was lookin for yote sign and mink sign. Every dang place I had had a yote set got visited after I pulled the traps. Mixed feelings about it. I was pissed I had pulled them cause of the weaatherman, but felt good it showed me I was setting where I should have been.
Only found a little minkk sign, but did find a few opther places to set for yotes. Not one single coon track to be found. They are either totaly denned up or gone. I am believeing they are just plain gone from that area.

place is covered in possums. We have alot of disease at times here that can wipe out the coon for a few years. Hits areas and does a number on them.
I am guessing that is what has happened in that area,. Also have had two years in a row of real hot dry weather. That I know hit them hard.
I am going to the island tuesday to check it out. Hopefully if nothing else I can stack up a bunch of beaver there. And otters. maybe some mink to. The rats are hard as heck to catch on the big river. I am sure the coon won't be moving there though. it also has many many yotes, but can't trap them because of stupid ...real stupid...laws there.

no yotes or cats there ??!!!!!! wow down here yotes are legal all year long...all the land owners hate yotes .. possums and coons eat a lot of the same things and usually when one species has low population in an area another explodes in population..so your prolly something got the coons thinned out there and left the door open for possums...
you need to call priceless over there to help she likes possums lol she could come wipe em out for you lol

heck they are cloggin every dang trap i set. I swear they are stupid WV possums she sent here. LOL
Plenty of yotes here, trouble is they are movin into town. hard to trap them when there is 50 dogs runnin all over the place. And dang house cats.
Had to take today and get the g-daughters suv fixed. I can't stand her not having a safe car to drive. brakes were totally shot. Reminded me why I got out of the mechanic biz years ago.

We had a rough winter last year, very cold temps and lots of snow in spring. Seems to have killed off the possum. Haven't gotten any this year and no sign of any around. I got good prices for the ones I caught last year, several sold for $4. I'll skin and put up a possum for $4.
