$75 HERE

I have quite a few of Ron Hansons or Nelsons formulas however you would like to refer to them. His bait solution one is incredible. However like most people have stated they can be uneconomical to make for yourself. One thing about competition with coon trappers especially here in northeast iowa or anywhere in the us any edge a guy can have is very helpful even if coons are only worth 5 dollars. It is a rush to look down and have a coon and the other guy has a set trap.

$115 and my 1st born son!! Final offer!! The wifes not going to be happy with this one!! But think of all those coons fighting for MY bait! Its worth it!!

This is the exact reason right here why I quit posting on trapperman.

Exactly empirebuilder, gets pretty old very quickly.

RELAX dude, theyre having fun, i cant blame them after all the hype of this bait that will make those smart Iowa coons run right to their sets, ill miss the 12 posts you made either way...

Hey buzz and dog. Just how many attractants have you put in front of live coon and watched their reaction during every period of the year? I guarentee your having more coon than you think pass up sets with only mildly attractive baits and or lures. Coon dont have to be smart to know what they want to investigate most of the time and what they want to investigate some of the time to seldom.

"Hype"

Have you, personally, on your trapline ever used it? If so how many coons did you and did you not catch while using?

"Smart"

Show me one Iowa trapper that said coon were smart?

I think it's been summed up that about anything will catch coon. But it's proven some things work better than others.

I knew someone would say that. I was a member forever and lost my password. I didnt worry too much about it for the longest time because of some of the posts on here, then decided to join again made a few posts and mostly just watch all the talk.
I seen this though and decided to make a post.

Its gonna be hard here without ya! I've learned sooo much from your posts! All 10 of them! Thank you for making me a little wiser!

Well apparently you have a lot to learn to think that certain lures cannot out perform other lures. Maybe you should do a little more listening
Damien

EmpireBuilders used to post quite a bit a long while ago, and was really an asset to the Trapperman forums. Another guy that could out trap 90% of the people posting here, including myself.

nope never have, probably never will...our coons in the east are just too dumb, they still fall for the fish...im gunna stop posting on this topic before something bad happens...sorry if ive offended anyone, thats just my thoughts...

Something bad happens ha ha like what.
Thanks Nick I still have a lot to learn.
Damien

Damiem, I'm just playin around! Don't take it personal! Its all in fun, give some take some!

I know its all in fun and in reality I use fresh fish 95% of the time on my trapline. But to sit here and try to say coons wont walk right by fish is crazy too. A great lure will out perform at times and also is a lot more convenient. Put a piece of fish in your coat pocket and scurry down the ditch.

im gonna say the best bait /lure is the one that works for you...and catches fur....i mix it up through the year....JMO

Than you should know buzzy that there are attractants that outperform others. Doesnt make them smart just means there are things that trigger them to stop and check it out just as there are things that force coyotes or fox to work a set. I wish all my competition only used a hunk of fish and fish oil. LOL

I bopped in with my last ink, not as a "dependent on revenue," professional raccoon trapper, per se. I have caught my share over the years, in the yield of good money at the time, without being very totally focused on them at the time, or ever since.

This thread/post, while in class, has been most important and educational for me in the wake. My secondary post in the dribble of the Hasnson thingy, was predicated on an internal notion: "Are these proponents nuts? What is this fuss all about?

We all own our own respective bliss and attraction to trapping stuff. This one caught me off guard in the trench of old ways in what little I know.

No apology is in order in my format, only an explanation for my ignorance. Fair enough?

Jonathan, in the spirit of Trapperman, I was going to disagree with you, but I caught myself just in time. I figure since I didn't understand what you said, I might unwittingly hurt the feelings of others who agree with you by criticizing your post. So, I'll sit back and observe from a distance with very potent binoculars.
