Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
As long as you are in an area with few cats and no skunks tuna is great. Otherwise I'd recommend switching to strong smelling fruit preserves. I actually found that donuts filled with cherry, strawberry, raspberry all worked very well especially with the white icing on the top. I used to trap alot but haven't in the past couple of years. If you need any more advice PM me.
I sometimes pick them up on the corner in the morning and take them to McDonald's for a egg Mcmuffin & coffee.
What !?!? LOL
They eat out of garbage cans !!!

Depends why are you trapping them so early. Is it to train pups? Or are they a nuisance where you are.
I use jams/jellies or maple syrup, mollassas just anything you would use to bait bear with also liquid smoke in my box traps if i dont have one the next day will will the day after. I used this on one farm had 2 traps set out for 13 days caught 23 coon. If your training and need a spot in the woods use dry cat food or let corn soak in water for a couple days. I use that for my pups and young dogs and they flock right in it seems
hey... random suggestion... hot chocolate powder We caught 3 with a net in half an hour after baiting them for 2 nights prior to this one...
lots of fun!
take care,
