Over/under? 4? I'll take the over.

Gotta be one shit outta luck coon as we speak
Hopefully! I like your optimism. Not sold on the marshmallows as bait though. I think they'll work in close but i doubt they'll pull them any real distance. Just not a lot of smell to them. I'll be adding some minced clams tomorrow. It'll increase the opossum catch but should pull the coons in too.

Hold off until you see what happens Joe. A cotton ball with Vanilla extract will help the marshmallows. I was suprised what the marshmallows did. But I cut them in half and it lets out more smell. Minced clams may draw in Pepe Lepew also.

Not bad!!!
Meh. Not bad but not stellar. I'm sure the rain didn't help. I went ahead and added the minced clams. I can only run them on Saturday and Sunday so i'll leave them sprung tomorrow. If there's a skunk I'll just shoot it then remove it next Friday when I reset.
