Post by: nativeks on March 10, 2023, 04:22:44 PM
Interesting presentation by the Upland Game Biologist, Furbearer Biologist, and Turkey biologist is KS. Start at about 2hrs 33 min.

So why are coons not poult or juvenile predators on the chart? I have watched a tom get attacked  by a coon and thought the tom was going to lose the battle  honestly.

The turkey population is way down in my area and the only change is the increase in nest robbers.  Noone hunts coons or possums anymore.

Im guessing they dont do it often enough to be considered an issue.

Any data saying that? A coon is vicious around chicken coops. Would presume they do the same out in the woods.
