Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
I have never tried that but bet it would work great for coons! I stick with prepared baits and lures on my canine line. I don't think you would get a coyote to come to bacon grease here, they would know something wasn't right from the start. The coyotes out here get trapped, called, shot from airplanes, you name it they get it. They are highly educated, especially to the trapping game. I have my best luck with blind sets in trails and snares. I can't tell you how many times I've had coyotes come to a set and circle the set three feet out and not go in, they wear a trail in the dirt. They are interested but they know better. I mainly use Fox Hollow and Russ Carmen lures and Powder River paste bait. These have been the best for me.
We kill hogs around here and whatever is left after were done we use for yotes and foxes.
The best one I had was somehow a rabbit was caught in my trap and the fox, I guess, was trying to get the rabbit and was caught in the other trap. They were about 16 - 20" apart. Dang fox tore the hide almost off the rabbit trying to get to it, but both were still alive when I got there.
I have no idea why in this world the rabbit was so close to the bait.

here in Onatrio , we always used Muskrats for Yotes. After the rat was skinned we would save up a doz or so and then cut them up in small chunks and put them in one gallon jars, dig holes and cover them over for six mouths or till next season. Each pc would do a dirt hole set. Fox Coons and Yotes were the visiters, every once and a while you would get a skunk. shoot it and take it out and reset , fox everytime right after...BT
I've used grease for trapping before and I caught a coon foot. That's after one day so I can imagine if I kept using it how many I would catch. I also have caught a rabbit in one of my fox traps that was just set with some lure.
