This weekend I set my dog proof coon traps and baited with little Debbie. Saturday morning I have a ringtail in the trap.

Didn’t take a pic while in the trap. You can see where the trap caught the front leg.

Been a long time since I've seen a Ringtail.

Last one I saw was in the 1980's in Mills County (Goldthwaite) on property we owned at the time.

Truly neat creatures.

I had to evict one from under the hood of my Tundra so I could change the battery, just a few months ago. He, or she, was not pleased at all. I cram the Tundra in the barn now.

Back in the 70's I had a lease in Schleicher county. We would see them regularly. One of the lease members shot one and they really stink. Cool critters.

I haven’t seen one since the 80’s, and yes they stink.

I used to see a couple at my uncles place in Blanco county. But that has been 55 yrs. ago.

I would kill two or three a night when calling and shining back in the early 70's in SE Medina County. We still have a few here in Menard County but not like the ranch where I was raised. We had one for a pet and he was possibly the best critter we ever raised. Even my Mother loved Rico...
Adios,
Gary

It’s difficult for them to compete with the raccoon population. With coon pelts being essentially worthless nobody traps them except folks keeping them off their feeders.

Now I know what I saw quite a few years ago.
