I don't bother anymore. The first night the packrats will have it drug out of the hole. I throw some bait in, the a wad of grass.

A good place to get an entire bag full ?
The county fair, when 4-H kids are shearing their show lambs !
A poke hole with the 'yellow-ish end' barely protruding and a fresh dropping has nailed a good many sharp coyote.

(why the yellow end ? That's where the lanolin smell (wool grease) is the highest concentrate)

Man, I love the tip of gathering a bag-full at the 4H booth at the fair!! You can bet yer bottom dollar I'll be asking for some this fall!

I used to use cotton balls but switched to sheep's wool about a decade ago.
