Trapping season is open and my son is looking for the "best" bait for his Duke dogproof coon traps. Any suggestions?

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Marshmallows work good but I also use hotdogs cut up and marinated in fish oil. Probably catch as many coons with that bait as anything I use.

Marshmallow on the trigger, but i use and alternate between several different lures. Grape or strawberry jelly, fish oil, crayfish oil, also i use a lot of what i call "sweet stuff lure" which is a 20oz bottle with one small bottle of anise 1/4cup or so of honey and fill the bottle the rest of the way with imitation vanilla. This works very well, squirt it on the mallow and squirt a trail to the trap. The sweet lures also help to avoid the skunks that you'll be more likely to catch with the fishy stuff.

Cat food with grape koolaid mixed in works well for me

Fish food pellets, molasses and cherry extract.
I got a #50 bag of the fish food for $8 at Tractor supply.

Plain dry dog or cat food (especially if they contain fish) works great. I have tried adding some of the home remedy type enhancers like Koolaid or fish oil, but the plain dog food seems to work just as well.

Best,
