kippersnacks for coons

What is that? LOL.

Squirrels black oil sunflower seeds

I've never caught a squirrel in a cage trap, but for coons, I can't find anything better than the old sardines.

kippersancks are some sort of oily fish felt they come in a can like sradins they are sold next to them if the sore has them I found that they work better then sardins they work real good for cat fish also

I aslo made up some hog bait this summer( bag of corn 8 rasberry jello boxes put it in a five gallon bucket with warter let it sit in the hot sun for one week. have to burp it or will blow the lid off or crack or bucket) any way I set up a trail camera on it and had 7 coons that sat on it and ate it all in two days you should see them all laying around passed out! lol! I will try to find the pics and post them. I was wishing I had a dog at the time would have been good for a pup shoulda been easy to tree abunch of drunk coons that is if they could climb a tree!

I caught a squirrel the other day on bird seed. I set my trap again this evening with bird see in it we'll see how it works this time.

mixed bird seed for the squirrels......marshmallows for the coon (ya won't catch any skunks that way, just the occasional cottontail.....they really like marshmallows too LOL).

Good Luck trapping

When I was younger we used any fish meat we could get.Then we started catching too many cats.A buddy told me to use most any thing sweet.He said cats won`t mess with it and coons love it.I have since used cookies with great success.Maybe even a little coon scent to make them think,now why is there coons going that way...

Coon aren't going to care about coon scent, if they smell food they'll go for it.

The only scent I would use is Oil of Anise.

A dog is only as good as the man's word that's selling it.

i catch mine on sardines and peanut butter

Im going to have to try a couple of these.

I use the corn on the cob like you would use for a squirrel feeder. One cob, smeared with peanut butter and tied to the pan with a zip tie.

sardines for coons peanut butter for squirrels
