I used sardines.
Caught a house cat one time. LOL
Never seen one run so fast in my life when I turned it loose.

Do y'all set traps at an angle or straight?

I set mine at a slight angle.

I caught several skunks in mine before scoring on the first coon.

Been covered....Mini marshmallows! I too lost a trap to a coon that broke it loose from my anchor point. As an attractant I use imitation vanilla. Take the plastic lid off exposing the foil seal. Take a knife and barely prick the foil a couple places...instantly makes a very fine squirt bottle. Bait with marshmallows then spray a little vanilla around the trap as an attractant.

BTW, I've never caught a possum or anything besides a coon in these traps.

I was using sardines as bait when I did a removal from my inlaws house of a big coon.
Set a live catch and a dogproof in their yard.
I caught a housecat in the dogproof :rotf:

Never seen a cat run so fast in my life when I turned it loose. :rotf:

I use the Duke DP traps around chicken pens and they work great on coon and possums. If you catch something you want to release you can let it go with the help of a piece of plywood. Here is a video showing how its done but you can use a much smaller piece depending on what your releasing.

For that critter I would need more plywood.
