I don't exactly target them , I broad spectrum target everything that eats eggs or poultry

about half kibble , half corn , fish oil enough to get it all shiny when mixed, and a little smoke oil or liquid smoke.

mix it up in jugs so it can pour right into the trap or tin can in the box trap.

seems to work coon , possum , skunk , even got a couple wood chuck on it in a box trap.

Strawberry sugar wafers and a squirt of fish oil as a trailing scent. Skunk, coon and opossums.

Seems like they'll eat just about anything. But, I usually used the larger sized marshmallows.

Since I'm a nuisance trapper skunks are always a structural issue so positive sets and funneling are my go to. Under those conditions bait isn't as important but I let the site dictate what they get. If cats are in the pocture it's sweet baits honey buns, fruit based, marshmellows. If not a protein/meat based bait.

my go-to feral cat bait is chicken bones , they already know they like them , wire it to the inside top corner of the cage trap , they will work that pedal because they are going to be there a long time working on that bone.
