Wanted to hear if anyone wants to share their DP coon bait recipes. I’ve been using sweet Betty sauce from PCS outdoors and it works well but don’t want to spend $18 per bottle. Any guys have any good recipes you want to share?
Something that won’t completely cake up the inside of the trap like peanut butter.
Thanks!

1. Bag of cheap cat food and bottle of molasses, both from dollar general. I don’t spend more than about $5 on the ingredients. Makes about a gallon and a half of bait. Mix it up in summer in a big container with a lid. and shake or stir it up every couple days until all of the molasses is soaked up. Will make a LOT of sets and it’s very cheap and effective for me. It won’t gum up your trap either…dry bait is easiest to work with.
2. Any off brand, inexpensive, fruit flavored cereal like fruit loops, fruity pebbles, etc. get the off brand and buy the bulk bag version. Under five bucks, makes a ton of sets with DPs, and works very well for coon.
Set right in trail or on fresh sign only. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Posted about DP baits a few days ago...
I've been running about 40 DPs for past 10 days and have used a variety of baits and mixes.
Here's what I've used so far..Best results listed 1st...
1st - floating fish food mixed with whole kernel corn (about 50/50 mix) with imitation vanilla extract and almond oil mixed in.
2nd - smoked meat liquid (from Kaatz Bros few year ago) squirted onto pellet/corn mix.
3rd - marshmallows with Tropical punch Kool-aid powder.
4th - anise scented coon grabbers from F&T.
All these have caught coon, but ants are bad on all of them.
I also bought a bag of WildGame Innovations ground persimmons (made for deer).....used it past 2 nights....no catch yet.
And today I used some chicken flavored pill poppers that are made to put a pet's meds in so they will eat it. Got 4 cases of those free that are about dated. These are gummy and smell like smoked chicken.
Pull day is tommorrow so not gonna get much chance to see how the persimmon powder and pill poppers will work.
I have removed 24 coons so only a few stragglers left.

Where do y’all get floating fish food. I haven’t heard of it until today to be honest and is it expensive? I’m looking for a cheap method, as I went through probably 10-15 gallons of bait last year

Tractor Supply down here has floating fish food for $20/50 lbs. Is the fish food waterproof? Seems like it would be if it floats on the water.
