Raccoons and turkey population

[adrianrog]

I noticed that my turkeys disappeared shortly after I added a feeder and the racoons showed up. They're easy to trap with a dog-proof trap, you just need to be dedicated to checking it. When I set traps, I check early in the morning before I go to work and then again when I get home from work.

What’s wrong with possum. I thought they cleaned up the area.
