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.

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

We caught 3 with a net in half an hour after baiting them for 2 nights prior to this one...
