Hey what are yall using as bait in dog proofs. I was hoping for something cheap and quick. I swear my dog thinks it’s cologne, 2nd time this week I’ve woke up to the smell of burning tires. Anything helps!

Theres a few of us on here that sell very good skunk baits. Theres alot easier ways to trap skunks than with DPs. Conibears if they are legal for you. Enclosed live or cage traps and the plasticatch trap. But if Dps are all you have, go for it.

I like a smokey fish or meat bait, just like for coon. We catch a lot of our skunks in DPs.

And Mr Kelly, my boys were gifted some of your skunk bait recently. We've only used it in a few sets so far, but it sure seems to be good stuff.

Good to hear Big Sam! As for Mr. Smalleys original question, cheap dry cat food is hard to beat for skunks. If I had a dollar for every person whos told me, the skunk was eating out of the cats dish, Id be wealthy! I might go a step farther and lace the cat food with a bit of cheese essence or banana oil or possibly some S.F.E. But if you want to keep it cheap? Straight dry cat food.

If I wanted to go all out I'd add to the cheap cat food a little bit of canned tuna in oil. Just my thoughts.
