I was the first!!

[jdbuckshot]

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.

I always used sardines

[arduckslayer]

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

[PWS]

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.

[mudsucker]

For a repellent, try a help wanted sign.

[kris Schaumburg]

sardines in peanut butter

[DRYLOK]

+1 sardens.

[ACEINTHEHOLE]

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

[Wildfowler]

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?

[Chuckle12]

Cat food or canned tuna

[music_man]

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.
