Had plans of putting 12 DP's and 3 foot holds at my hunting property yesterday. After the 6th DP in the ground my anchor driver fell off the truck somewhere and I searched forever and couldn't find it. So came home and ordered another.
I set 3 traps up with sardines, marshmallows, and a little peanut butter around the rim. Caught these 2 over this set up.
Set 2 more up with a bait that my buddy makes and sells. It's a really sweet smell and has crushed corn and a small round dog/cat food type material. These weren't touched. Also had added marshmallows to them.
1 I used his bait plus some grape jelly. It hadn't been touched.
Just got home and swapped everything behind my house to sardines and marshmallows just to change it up. Also put 2 foot holds out back here Saturday. Hoping I catch the bobcat or yote I been seeing.
This makes 3 racoons and 3 possums for me this year. Next weekend I'll get out again to my other property and get the rest out.
Not near as many as others have caught but I'm having fun with it.
