best coon bait?

[Sippy]

what do yall think is the best bait to use in traps for coons.. i need something that will catch them overnight because were only at the ranch for about 2 days at a time

ask Smart

sardines will get you coons, possums and skunk....the last two of which I have no will to trap

On the advice of TBH I was told marshmellows work well in attracting coons only. Our crew is using banana moonpies and were on #21 since late May.

do you just put the moonpie in the trap whole?

I just break it in half....that way I get two traps baited per "pie" and it opens up the insides

they like expensive corn

Don't expect to catch one in every trap.....I definately have respect for their ability to take the bait without being caught!

[texas bound]

Smart where do you get your traps and how much do they cost? I am starting to get coons at my feeders.

You might try the "double filled" lemon moonpie........They are kind of like shooting a "magnum".
