Best bait for dog proof coon traps....

[dustoffer]

Banana moon pies worked good last summer when I trapped.

My go-to bait, but ants do love sweets. If we are having a cold spell, they work fine, but if it is warm and sunny, corn is the way to go. Don't like cat food due to too many possums and skunks getting caught.

I use dry dog food. Works well.

So if you do catch a cat, how do you release it without getting scratched or bit?

They don't bite or scratch with a 22 to the noggin I'm betting..

What works best for you? I seem to be doing slightly better with marshmallows than cat food, but it's a small sample size. One thing that I have learned is that ants love marshmallows.

Dry catfood.

I use dry cat food coated in fish oil. I bought a gallon of it for $25ish and it has lasted me 2 solid years of trapping. I rarely catch skunks and have caught 3 in 3 years.

2014- 37 coons and 25 possums
2015- 49 coons, 43 possums, 2 skunks
2016- 47 coons, 22 possums, 1 skunks
2017 so far- 9 coons, 6 possums

That's three skunks too many for me[emoji23][emoji23]

If you have problems with ants just sprinkle some seven dust around the trap. Works for me.

I threw a couple wet towels on the cat and the fight began.. I finally got it stuffed in a pillow case and took to the vet.. It had a sore paw but no long term damage.. Lucky for the cat I knew the neighbor's daughter would be all torn up if it was gone..
