need some bait tips
 

ive been trapping coon with a connibare set in a wooden box but aint had much luck. i was wondering what the best bait is for them now this time of year.

RE: need some bait tips
 

Use carp cut into hand sized pieces. Put it in the back of the box and guard the entrance with a 220 and you should have the next coon thast comes by. The reason for the carp is it is a strong smelling fish whic will attract the coon from a distance. Good luck.

I use the cheaspest sardines in soy oil I can find. I mix it with just a 1/2 handfull of dry dog feed( that makes them go farther.)

the ones in soy oil has the strongest smell. that has worked great for me. I get coons,fox,and possums.what I don't use I put in the fridge in an airtight container."believe me you want an airtight container".


I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

sounds like prettymuch any type of fish will work alright. ill have to wait till the lakes freeze over for the carp but i ll try the sardines now thanx

Jack mackeral is cheap and very effective, use about a golfball size ball and splatter it at back of hole or bucket

If I ain't huntin',I'm trappin',If I ain't trappin',I'm fishin'
If I ain't fishin',I'm wishin'!
