Happy New Season! 2024 sucked for us on the coon thumping because we had so many big projects at the lease going we didn't want to waste any valuable cool morning temp time driving around checking traps. Couple that with the new software and poor search function at the time, I just didn't get a '24 Coon Carnage thread started. That is changing this year because the search function is solid and our coon numbers are through the roof again! Lets do this!
Aight folks ...we had 2017 w/ 1781 coons, 2018 w/ 860, 2019 w/ 791, 2020 w/ 1369, 2021 w/ 807, 2022 w/ 1081 and 2023 w/288 coons meeting their demise. That’s 6977 confirmed food bills collected minus the whole 2024 season !
....
Bring on a bountiful 2025 for helping save those turkey and quail eggs as well as those feeder timers and solar panels..
Most of us already have our traps but in case some folks don't, I'm going to repost the pics I did last year in case somebody wants to jump into the fun. If you don't have any coon cuffs/dogproof traps, here is your motivation to go get a set or two or 10...
Gun kills qualify too. Hell let's add TBHer vehicle kills as well because a dead coon is a dead coon....but don't do anything stupid trying to get one with your BF Goodrich.
When you get one or some, post your number and add it to the current running total.
Also if you don't mind, list how you got them... ie, trap type, bait used, or weapon if hunting them ....or of course vehicle kill. Listing will hopefully help some folks get and idea if they are new to it and want to start up.
We'll get after them hot and heavy this Feb, March and April and on any of our trips out west on lease work trips this summer using Duke dogproofs corn, protein and/or marshmallows....
Good luck to you all!!
And to start us off.....2 coons killed with protein and Dukes on Jan 3....
