Appeal of "Sweet" Coon Lures to Other Furbearers? #6349383 10/16/18 09:24 PM 10/16/18 09:24 PM

I'm targeting coons specifically, but was wondering if those types of lures hold any appeal to other furbearers, like canines and felines ( I know that opossum and skunk are attracted to just about anything and are probably unavoidable. ) (Sorry folks...I phrased my question above poorly when I first posted it. I'd like to target coons only, and was wondering if Moonshine and/or Coon Digger II held any attraction to furbearers other than coons.. I'm hoping that they are coon-specific lures) Thank you in advance. Last edited by steveWNY; 10/23/18 12:04 AM.

Rats and beaver love pocket sets with moonshine lure too. Stake for an elephant, set for a mouse. Jim Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
