Should I reposition the security cams ? I'm trying for woodchucks -
the coons and opossums are just mistakes. I don't think they are
bothering anything in the garden / orchard.


I'd shoot the woodchucks. Maybe change the bait to something less
attractive to 'coons and possums, or close the traps at night.


I don't have time to sit and wait for a chuck to come out. I'm using
peanut butter on pieces of apple. The traps are on a property I own
about 6 miles from where I live.


Ditch the peanut butter. Go with plain apples. Even better might
be to add in small pots with lettuce or broccoli plants in them. And
there are commercial attractants for woodchucks that actually help.
