I found a recipe for a home-made coon lure. It calls for 2 oz. of molasses, 1 oz. of vanilla, and 1 oz. maple syrup. Is it worth a try?

Might work for some summertime porch coon,but it has very little drawing power.For coon during trapping season,especially when cold weather arrives,you need a real lure to get their attention.

I agree with Tom, as I have used things like various commercial extracts that are used for making hard candy and for flavoring in baked goods. These were mixed with peanut butter, mollassas, and marshmallow fluff, as a carrier and they don't compare to a good lure. I only use them for pre-bait, or in mild weather. I think of them more as bait than lure. I have best results with stuff like that near places where coon are used to people food.
