Trapping season came in today in my county and i am planning on settin some dirt hole sets for coons saterday. if i do not have not purchased any coon bait, what could i put in the dirt hole to lure the coon in?

Try some sardines in it bud. Usually works for me.

Hi NC
coon bait come in all different flavors. i use canned maceral honey and bacon grease. stir it all up and get to trapping if no honey use maple syrup . i ve used the juice off the macrel for a trailing scent too.ive tryed the sardines and they never make it to the sets for some reason they do work good though. just the cheap ones at aldi's RayA

All the coons I have caught this year I have used canned jack maceral and canned pink salmon. Coons love it and I always set them in pocket sets, but i'm sure dirt hole sets will do just fine.
