I have yet to see a Racoon that could resist a Honey Bun in a live trap. Guaranteed to catch.
It kina depends on what time of the year it is with coon they follow the food natural food in the middle of winter they will eat almost anything I like a "loud" bait jack mackerel, sardines , sweet things will work if you are not far away from the coons nose but most days "loud" has a bit more calling power cage traps have thier place and times but most days I use either a bridger 1.65 or a 160 / 220 conibear. When trapping coon do not stop trapping after you only catch 1 their is nomally a family unit or 2 in a coupla hundred acres get rid of 12-20 and you will not see them for a while 2-8 months here stop trapping after just catching 1 is much like peeing into the wind it gives a warm feeling but don,t change much LOL
