I like miniature marshmallows. Scatter a few on the ground next to the trap.


Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

I like a regular size marshmallow under the trigger, and one smeared with something sweet smelling stuffed in the top.

The set the trap ON sign. That's far more important than what is in the trap.

There are as many answers as there are trappers to this question. The best I have ever used is ADC's Barnes' Cherry Bend-Over Raccoon Bait. Its a sticky fish based preserved bait that works great all season long.

I've had excellent results with that bait too. Is it available again?

I use everything dry inside the DP , put used fish frying oil around it for attraction.
Traps never need cleaning on the inside.
