No, I just used what was left of Sam...figured if they were after chicken to begin with, that'd be more likely to lure them back...kept the trap set after the opposum, but nothing yet...maybe if nothing in another night, I'll add some PB...

 

[IDIOT HUSBAND]

good luck on your hunt tonight. I hope the PB works for you tonight.

I love how this has suddenly become a redneck recipe thread!! Haa haa!! My son DID ask if we could eat the oppossum though!!! LOL

First off, sorry about your bird.

If a coon killed your bird, it will be back - and it may bring friends. Make sure to keep the trap up for the next week or so.

Another bait to try is a molasses dough ball. Use bread and mix with molasses to make a thick ball. You can then smash it in the trap and it is harder for them to grab and run. you could also mix an egg in the dough to give it a little more flavor.

A neighbor of mine swears by this method and used to catch 2 coons per trap religiously.

Good Luck
