My kid likes a "coon cuffs" with a little maple syrup in the bottom. It's the only thing I let him use 'cause there's a few neighbors can't control their dogs. Otherwise all his gear must be in the water.
Anywhere I can get the back foot. If I had to choose one lure/bait, it would be crawfish oil. Most of the time I'll set by the biggest tree within 50 yds of some water. I try to keep em dry. Not real sure why, just always been that way.
I dont really target coons unless someone wants me to get rid of some. but i seem to get plenty of them in fox/coyote dry land sets, dirt holes, blind and trail sets mostly.
