3 grinners
2 coyotes
4 coons and
1 skunk

 so far :grin:

No Possum,should be released.They are a major destroyer of birdlife.A world without possums,would be heaven on earth for birds.

I used to release possums until i began catching the same ones in the same sets the next check....i have even had them come get back in the set while i was still remaking it!!  I dont release possums anymore

Kill em all......there are NO benefits to releasing them, whether they are re-filling your trap or eating eggs....they simply aren't a beneficial critter in anyones book. Releasing them is just a bad call......
