“Best” homemade coon bait

[JohnSouth22]

With deer season wrapping up here in south AL it is about time to put out the coon traps. Was interested to hear what everyone has luck with baiting DP coon traps. I personally have had great luck with cat food mini marshmallow mix but was curious to hear what other people run.

Marshmallows and vanilla extract.

Marshmallows and tuna, not if in an area if it freezes though.

Shelled corn, sweet feed, protein pellets, marshmallows, cat food, dog food...take your pick.

I've always used dry dog food topped with honey in a dog proof trap.

Dry cat food or marshmallows.  I then keep bacon grease all summer in a squeeze bottle and add a little of the grease in.

Best I've ever made is bacon grease, put it in a glass jar, melt the grease and mix in gold fish flakes, and add some salmon oil also.

Fish flavored dry cat food, mini marshmallows and cherry kool aid. I also use a spray bottle full of water and imitation vanilla to spray around the trap and or trail where the DP is set.

I have had really good luck with dry cat food. Ditched the sardines long ago. Little to no difference in results

In DP's use dry cat food and marshmallows. Depending on the trap you use the fishier the bait the more likely you are to catch opossum and skunks.

Like several have stated, marshmallows and vanilla. Also, I started using the floating fish food..  it lasts a little longer in the elements as it is a little more resistant to water. It's a good bait.
