What's your favorite colored bucket? Does Loud Lures make a difference like Dunlap Soul Taker and or Caven's Hiawatha Valley Predator Bait?

I use a white bucket. In the snow it is harder for thieves to see.

Back when coon were worth $20_25 ea. I did the buckets 25 years ago up until 10 years ago when coon went up for a year. Now I use cages and dog proofs for ADC jobs. 220 and 160 wood box's are better for me anyway

The colors cheap or free work best in square buckets. If you’re still wanting wood cubbies try this.

A lot of people now are too young to remember the year of the blue bucket shortage and how it lead to Lowes changing the color of their buckets to blue.

For coon? I mean sure you'll get coon sometimes on a skunky lure but it sure wouldn't be my first choice.

Exactly! Has to be real cold out for me to focus only on a skunky lure.

Like real cold.


But that said, almost anything will check out skunk odor if the time is right.

Yes they work, for the purpose the are intended. No lure or bait will bring a critter to where it doesn’t want to be.

If you put your trap where it wants to be, you’ll catch it.

Didn't think this was even debatable any more.

We’ve had the conversation on colors so many times if it’s not blue you probably won’t catch anything

You catch a few in off colored buckets, but it's mostly the young of the year. You won't see many of those big ol 2X and greater ridge runners.
