Re: Raccoon Bait
i've been using, deer sausage, marshmellows, peanut butter, and dog food.
i have heard of folks making up home made baits of all kinds that seem to really work good.

Re: Raccoon Bait
I trapped when I worked in Minnesota. The cheapest canned catfood in the store is very effective.

I used to trap when I was a kid, the best we ever used was sardines and cane molasses. Put it in a mason jar and mix it up into a paste.

Re: Raccoon Bait
Sardeens or Tuna, and you dont have to open the can all the way, just open some to let the smell out.

Re: Raccoon Bait
Corn seems to work well for me:
I think there are 16 or 17 of them bastages on this feeder? These things are a nuisance animal aren't they? Or will I need a de-predation permit?

Fritos!
I have trapped countless coons! I haven't found anything better! Marshmellows are a close second!
Cat food works, but you will catch house cats occasionally if there are any around.
You will also catch opossums on just about anything you will catch a coon with.
