Anyone know if a bag shell corn for cpl bucks from feed mill is best or more expensive bag of cracked corn from farm store is best ? For $8? Bigger bag at farm supply store. Not sure if difference if dry out more or any difference, I see online that 1 bag for $2 is 10 lbs, other is 50 lbs, how good well corn keep ? I have 12 plus lbs if chesp Kat food to mix it with, plus small marshmellows an powder, how much corn should mix in? 10 lbs enough ? Not sure if dry out with smaller bag , the reason I ask, I never made my own dp bait, how much corn to use? Probly with birds an corn ?

Is cracked or whole Kernal corn better

Sorry coonman . I’m not much help. I use floating fish food. Corn will keep a long time if it doesn’t get wet.

I use dry cat food 95% of the time, but I'm thinking I'll try corn soon just as a video topic on my channel, should be interesting.

I got 50 lbs bag crack corn , is whole Kernal corn better? Crack corn was on sale for $6 for 50 lbs bag, enough to last me 2 to 3 yrs if keep, probly use some inside coon pockets, is there much danger of non target bird in dp, if mix in crack corn with cheap Kat food bait heavy ? I never heard of bird get caught in dp?

I don't think birds would be a problem but mice, squirrels, and chippies may clean you out before the coon get there.

Mice always problem in some places. Can't keep trap bait enough in daytime when check an fill to top an clesn out next morning, just wonder if crack corn or whole Kernal better? Might be good to put inside pocket with fish or above pocket when rain high water coming for still chance at coon in flooded pocket , so not a problem wirh birds in dp ? Definately could in foothold , might only be ok in pockets if use a lil an just sometimes an careful where place crack corn, that bag well last year's. Maybe we'll feed birds an squirrels in backyard in winter, way back aways from house

If cracked corn is what you've got then it will be fine to use, Dave. Slowly mix it in with your other ingredients until it looks right to you. When you're satisfied with it then you'll have confidence in it and it will catch coon!

P

How would u apply used cooking oil an spread it an get to dry up on ur bait ? The thing I don't like other than dry bait is any bait other dry, freezes, I guess it would turn to white lard, after u apply the used cooking oil

Huh?
