Honeybuns? Really? I guess you learn something new everyday.

Wet cat food is the best raccoon bait I've ever used. Peanut butter and sardines work, but the wet cat food is a "gimme"...

Anything fish. I use the heads and guts when I fillet fish. If its cold I will also soak them in vegtable oil to help hinder freezing.

I aint trapped in over 30 yrs but when I did trap coons I used cheap tuna fish. Cat food may be cheaper and just as effective. Good Luck!
