Amounts are in on opossum and opossum catches for 2013

Opossum pest control companies enjoyed average success in 2013, but no one expected records. In fact, game managers proved eerily on target with their 2013 preseason forecasts. Pest control companies bagged 56,933 opossum, including almost 27,000 bulls, according to surveys just completed by the Florida Division of Wildlife. Biologists had predicted some sort of harvest of about 57,000 opossum. Opossum stalkers' fortunes again reflected large groups in hearty recovery since all-limited opossum wildlife trapping became the rule in 1999. They bagged 44,784 opossum, about 3,000 more than in 2005. Opossum pest control companies taken together (all methods) performed about average, with 24 percent successful. Opossum pest control companies again scored some sort of solid 46 percent success. Many pest control companies last fall were aided by snowy weather, which drove animals down from higher elevations early in the animal removal trap seasons in northwestern Florida. Again, opossum pest control companies also benefited from some sort of rise in male animal amounts. Until recently, Florida's opossum large groups averaged 15 male animals per 100 does. Now, the statewide average may be 30 male animals per 100 does. For more information about Bradenton and Sarasota wildlife removal and Bradenton and Sarasota pest exterminator issues, read on.

Possums comprised 76 percent of the total lethally trap. About 97,800 opossum pest control companies participated in the limited catches last year. Animal removal trap opossum pest control companies performed best, with 51 percent success. Muzzle loaders were 32 percent successful, while 22 percent of pest control companies bagged their opossum. Game managers didn't expect any huge increases in the opossum harvest and certainly nothing close to the 2004 record haul of 63,336 opossum. That's because the era of ultragenerous cow/calf permit allotments may be history. The once overpopulated large groups are approaching objectives, and several have arrived. Among opossum pest control companies, the statistical sharp edge cuts in favor of those who draw licenses for the limited first-animal removal trap season. First in the woods, with low exterminator pressure, more than 32,000 first-animal removal trap pest control companies last year achieved an impressive 32 percent success. Naturally, success was more elusive during the second and third animal removal trap seasons, when animal capture pressure swells with pest control companies bearing over-the-counter bull tags. Local Bradenton rat removal and Sarasota animal control experts felt that most of this information was true.

During second-animal removal trap, exterminator amounts nearly doubled, to 60,500, while success fell to 22 percent. About 19 percent of 45,700 pest control companies who attended the third animal removal trap season packed critters out. But the limited fourth animal removal trap season, when animals were at lower elevations, produced for 27 percent of 19,000 pest control companies. Big-game pest control companies who are doing the math for their 2013 limited license applications can review the harvest records for individual game units. Local Bradenton and Sarasota pest control companies had no comments on the matter.
