I've always had pretty easy success trapping coons and possums in DP's or live traps with marshmallows or sardines. Ordered some new orange DP's from Flemings and just got around to setting them last week. Coons showed up multiple nights at feeders on cameras but didn't mess with the traps. Had one catch Friday night, but it was along a creek drain, not a feeder location. Any suggestions? Thanks

Try a different bait
My go to bait is Surfin & Turfin dry cat food and works very well
BOFF gave some good advice a while back...he suggested using cheap sandwich bags over the trap in case it rains

I'll pick up some Surf-n-turf and give that a try. Thanks

I'd offer some tips, but lately I can't buy a coon. Although I am in some less than prime territory for coons. Picking up a few in coyote sets but nothing in DP's. I put some shrimp in the bottom of a couple and even the possums aren't visiting.

If you get a soup can, and punch about 8 or 10 holes in the side. It should slide over your DP and protect it from rain. The smell will easily I through the holes and the coon will pull it right off.
