I just began trapping this year and Ive been trying to catch a racoon but so far ive only caught a skunk and a cat. Ive been placing my bait in a hole and setting the trap in front of it covered with grass. When ever i check my traps the bait is all gone but the traps havent been triggered. Im using #1.5 and #2 coil spring traps.
Any other suggestions on how to catch racoons or how you catch them masked bandits.
I check my traps every other afternoon.
One of my #2 traps is set off everytime but there isnt anything caught. What could it be?

Thanks for your help.
