Pancake syrup. Cheap and you dont have to worry about oppossums or skunks. Best coon bait I have tried.

As long as you are in an area with few cats and no skunks tuna is great. Otherwise I'd recommend switching to strong smelling fruit preserves. I actually found that donuts filled with cherry, strawberry, raspberry all worked very well especially with the white icing on the top. I used to trap alot but haven't in the past couple of years. If you need any more advice PM me.

I sometimes pick them up on the corner in the morning and take them to McDonald's for a egg Mcmuffin & coffee.

What !?!? LOL

They eat out of garbage cans !!!

Depends why are you trapping them so early. Is it to train pups? Or are they a nuisance where you are.
I use jams/jellies or maple syrup, mollassas just anything you would use to bait bear with also liquid smoke in my box traps if i dont have one the next day will will the day after. I used this on one farm had 2 traps set out for 13 days caught 23 coon. If your training and need a spot in the woods use dry cat food or let corn soak in water for a couple days. I use that for my pups and young dogs and they flock right in it seems
