BC I don’t think 220’s are legal in MO yet. It was up for discussion but not sure it passed.

We will see.

AI Overview
Based on proposed regulations from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), the use of Conibear (body-gripping) traps up to 7 inches—which includes 220 traps—in dryland sets on private property is expected to be legalized for the 2026-2027 season.

Here are the key details regarding this change:
Approval Status: The Missouri Conservation Commission gave initial approval to this change in May 2025, with final implementation expected to take effect on April 1, 2026.
Conditions: The new rule allows these traps to be used on private land, but they cannot be set in paths commonly used by people or domestic animals, and they cannot be set along public roadways.
Context: This change is part of a broader expansion of furbearer trapping and hunting opportunities, which also includes allowing the use of snares on dry land on private property.

This year talking legalize 220 in MO. Will need to try some bucket sets to up skunk and possum catch not interested in my dog food. Thinking good for spots with less than ideal trails and good visual. What baits you using for buckets.


Honestly hard to believe but for me this year, marshmallows dipped in bacon or beef grease from a frying pan has out produced most for skunk l. Opossum and coon have been hammering anything from sardines to dry cat food soaked in tuna juice then I mix in cherry Kool aid powder. Ridiculous but works. I tend to lean more towards meat and strong fish smells later on. Fruity smells early. Don't be afraid to use a 160 if legal. They really work good on coon and opossum and skunk. Neck catches almost 100%
