I envy you guys that have nothing but stupid coon, that go into every trap like the pid piper is sitting in there. Fact is, here in my area the coon can get pretty hard. and summer fish baits that every one loves to use, just don't cut the mustard here. WaUrbntrapper I use sweet food baits 90 percent of the time in the summer, something that is not going to change in the high heat or go bad. In Urban and sub urban areas, with all the food that is out there why would a coon want a hard smelling nasty bait, when they can find tons of food every where this time of year, that is fresh and just off the table. also this time of year eye appeal, smell and taste in combination is a deal sealer. at least in my area.
90 percent of the critters are easy, it is that 10 percent that we HAVE to catch, that are real hair pullers.

I use dry cat food with molasses and anise oil. I have been very lucky (Knock on wood) that I have been able to catch every offending coon I have been hired to go after so far. I have had a few issues with educated coon not want to enter my cages, but have made it almost impossible for the coon to reach the bait without entering the cage. I have to agree with Mr. Jameson on the people catching coon and releasing them to be someone else's problem.

For lure I like Bobs peaches and cream Ron probably has a similar lure. I might throw in som food. one that holds up well is little debbies oatmeal cookies. For a visual I wad up fast food bags with their leftovers maybe look in the garbage for som leftover wrappings. A tennisball holds lure very well gives eye appeal and give him something to play with instead of your trap and the grass. Tennis courts have plenty of dead balls. I would also set up a trail camera maybe she doesn't have as many coons as she thought especially with adc taking that many.

Think about it, if you're using berries, fruits, or vegetables, you don't have anything that's attractive, because they can travel usually less than a couple hundred yards and get an almost unlimited supply of those foods. I try to use baits that aren't going to compete with big food sources, something like peanut butter or peanut butter based baits
