i have always used a can of jack mackerel and only open it half way. then put at the end of the trap past where the release pad is. by leaving it half open they will sit and fool with it to try and open it and it has worked eveytime. for me anyways.

like larry said location is most important my best spot is near the mouth of culverts and i use vanilla extract poured over sweet corn sweet corn is available frozen year round.
vanilla extract odor carries a good distance

Friskies from the dollar store. It has to be Salmon flavored it works the best. I caught 111 last summer in box traps. Just crack the lid so they have to work a little

i agree with kody, fish (tuna, makeral, sardines) are good for coon, but also for slick tails (also known as grinners) sweets, corn, and peanut butter like others said work good.

I just soak some dog food in real concentrated grape coolaid. Works good and you dont catch much junk at all. Some times you will get a grinner. But I only catch him once!

i,ve tried lots of stuff and have the best luck with a can of sardines, wire tied in place, but you'll get lots of new ideas from these posts.
