Anybody use any type of bait when trapping them? One fellow trapper I know said he often will put some grass or alfalfa in front of the pan of the trap. He feels that has worked for him on some sets.
I've tried pnut butter in front of the pan with mixed results.


It's been months since I bought the book, "How To Scam People On Line". It still hasn't arrived yet.

The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

A slice of potato or carrots but anything starchy seems to work the best. I don't use bait very often but it does help for catching some of the educated ones.


Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Local retired guy traps around 2,500 a year and has been putting a handful of soybeans down the hole with good success
