Just got through setting my dog-proof traps. I used dry cat food this time. Have used marshmellows, added jelly to them. used canned cat food, and sardines. I've also put a few drops of vanilla on the bait, and that works good too.
Most anything will catch a coon, but will also catch a possum and the occasional skunk. Since they all destroy turkey nests, and will eat my chickens, I'm just glad to get rid of them.
I had my son pull the traps last week when I was too sick to run them, and now that I'm over that crap, I'm ready to go back to catching something. Since Thanksgiving, I've caught about 6 or 7 coons, and a few possums.
