Coon's how to trap em
I run several deer feeders and the coons are raping em and giving the electric motors hell. well, I have had enough so I bought a cage trap to get em. What type of baits can I use to get them. The first night I put the trap about 50 yds from my feeder with a can of mustard sardines (.79 cents) and caught a coon. I shot it and tossed it out. reset the trap in another direction and took 2 nights and caught a possum. moved the trap towards another feeder still using the sardines and caught another possum. my little girls calls em big rats, LOL. I am looking for something cheeper than the sardines to use as that can get expensive on bait. I see all types of scent type lures from liqurish ? spelling, to gland lures. Any one can offer some help I would appreciate it. I also thought of buying a steel jaw trap (#2 duke) to catch a few more.
Will the coons stay away from my trap when it gets bloody from me dispatching em?
thanks
