trapping coons

Just wondering what everyone uses in live traps to catch coons. Thanks

I use sardines if I am trapping in an area away from domestic animals. If I am trapping around houses I use marshmellows, this helps prevent catching house cats.

I use kipper snacks. In my live traps and set them along ditches the oil has a strong sent that lasts for days and floats on water. Set near a ditch pour the oil in the water and it leaves you sent trails hundreds of yards long leading them to your trap. Set up wind of woodlots and a long a ditch and you got a set that covers a good area and you don't have to wait for them to just stumble on your set. I have caught 5 coons in one night all with the same trap by doing this. I just kept going back and checking it.

What are kipper snacks
never heard of them
Is it something like sardines?

bait

use vaniilia extract you can take some crackers a little peanut butter and some extract make a paste coons can smell it from a long way off and you wont catch as many skunks and possums with a sweet bait as opposed to using sardines
