There is a bounty on scunk,coon,badger,fox,and opposum for 10$
A tail so I'm trying to figure out the most productive sets

Dirt hole set with bacon grease as bait

bacon worked better than any commercial bait in my limited experience. much better.

I prefer Flats Sets since there is a dozen variations and they are faster than having to dig dirt hole and since many use a small hole by driving a stake in the ground and wiggling it around.

Dirt hole with some of Dunlap soul taker bait. I use it for my winter dp line

Get some cages to set around the farm houses where they live in greater numbers, find a old abandon farm place they are a gold mind for bounty critters.

You SD guys get $10 for a skunk or opossum tail?! Is that statewide? Whose paying for it?

What isthis FREE trapping book club you speak of?

^^^^ always ask for these on birthdays and Christmas. Also get all free catalogs offered. Go to conventions and rendezvous always great free trapping literature laying around.

x2 on old buildings, or unused farm equipment. old brush piles or scrap metal piles, stacks of old pallets. all that stuff holds possums , skunks and coons. fox are bound to visit also. bacon grease is good bait. so is jack mackerel. a lot of sets in a can and its pretty cheap. a half teaspoon per set is plenty of bait

Another good way Is to pick them up off of the road. Dead Is dead right.

Blind set on a game trail that has those tracks on it. Use a jump stick for deer, if you have rabbits or squirrels in the area then move it to the side of the game trail and bait it. I wouldn’t do this if there is a high amount of non-target animal tracks because it’s not worth the potential catch.
