Coon takes the big marshmallow off the top of a DP trap, then reaches in and examines the little marshmallows without getting caught. It did that to 2 DP's that night. It didn't like cat kibble. Try fish food tonight.

Switch to Jack Mackerel. Never had a coon not like that stuff.


Got a photo from a speeding camera in the mail. I immediately sent it back - way too expensive and really poor quality.

Put the marshmallows in a zip lock bag and add a pack of strawberry jello. 2-3 tablespoons of vanilla extract. Shake it and let it set over night. Use that . Almost bet he eats them !!!! you switch to fish flavor you get possums and aunt ethel's cat .....

DO NOT put one on top Just put a single big marshmallow on the trigger.


caught coon

Set it so that it's a hair trigger.
Put some grape jam in the bottom of it. They get frustrated by how difficult it is to get the last bit of jam and tend to pull the trigger.

Thanks for all the tips. Don't know what knocked the golf ball off the top last night, but the fish food might catch something yet.
