Does the wax help attract chickens?

Nah waxing cages with beeswax is a time tested proven method of keeping human scent off the traps. This tidbit of info was being peddled by a self proclaimed trapping expert right here on byc. I for one am just grateful this particular person would take the time to share some secret methods that’s worked for him over the many years he’s been trapping furbearers. I’m just trying to pass on the good word.

Don’t forget the towels sprayed with scent-away draped over the cage to catch those chicken eaters...

....that was another gem shared by the same individual

What, no sense of humor? lol I had not heard the wax keeps the scent off. I thought they used the wax to prevent rust.

I use scent away fresh earth as a body spray. Goes well with my mossy oak bottomland overalls.

It’s mainly to protect the metal and keep the trap firing fast. Most canine trappers wax their traps but they don’t use beeswax lol.
You can also try melting a pine scented yankee candle. That’s on my list of “things to try”.

New raccoon bait is out!! Effective for the last two weeks in June and and the first week or so in July.

If you don’t buy at least one box of that you’re Un-American.

Now let’s not be spreading partial or inaccurate information..... you can’t use straight Crunch regardless of flavor or edition... you gotta catch some Japanese beetles and either mash them or milk them...

... then you mix the beetle juice and/or beetle squeezins with Captain Crunch and the critters will literally lock themselves in the cages just so they can keep it all to themselves!
