Good tips. Also, try some bait scent... "is that apples I smell? acorns?" I also had luck with the old candy trail: take a big pocket full of corn (or a noise/scent free pillow case. just dont tell your wife) and make a small pile here and there..they'll nibble...follow...nibble...follow...THWACK! I do it all the time. Just make sure your under the 2 gallon limit.
