I’ve read in some of the non-trapper, more home owner with a problem websites that peanut butter is good for cage trapping. Yeah, I’ve tried it for bird seed robbing squirrels and it works. But does anyone use it in the fall for coon in DPs?

My trapping for the year is pretty much done so recipe testing is on the horizon. But if I had some direction from you, it would shorten the learning curve.

I've seen on trapping DVD's the boys down south using peanut butter in there DPs but they were also eating as much as they put into there DPs.

Seems it would entice a lot of rodent issues!!

Peanut butter on a cypress stump in the water will catch plenty of coon. With freezing weather I would think the scent not as strong.

I use a little on the rim of DPs, and corn below the trigger. works well and not too messy.

Seems like peanut butter would attract deer to a DP.

Maybe you need to mix the PB with grape jelly and make a sammich for em?

I know a guy that uses grape jelly on bread. He swears by it for coon.

Here in Pa I use peanut butter marshmallows and grape Kool aid for cage traps for coon it works really well.

I used it for the first time this year and it worked as well as anything else. Once the deer find it they will be nightly visitors licking what they can.

The deer licking doesn't sound like a good combo with a DP.

Peanut butter is strong smelling though.

The last comment has me thinking...could a deer get caught by their tongue in a pull only DP if baited with corn or peanut butter???

My son used to use to put grape jelly in an eggshell and throw it in his cage traps and caught lots of 'coon.

I just think peanut butter on a dp is a bad idea

I don’t use peanut butter, do use corn then some sardine oil and pieces then a tad more corn to cover the trigger. Always just wondered how much a deer uses it’s tongue. Hopefully I’ll never find out.

It's good for muskrats, squirrels, mice and rats.

IMO just fair for coons, and like anise and vanilla, just because they have attractive smells to a trapper doesn't make them a great choice for raccoons.

I used to use peanut butter and honey mixed together then rolled up in a ball. Throw it in the back of 220 bucket set and caught a good amount of coon. Mainly used it close to town to avoid cats and nontargets. Wouldn't see why it wouldn't work in dp.

It’s real muddy right now and I may have to experiment with peanut butter and grape jelly to see what attracts more.

4 oz. Honey
2oz. Molassis
1 tsp. Vanilla
1tsp. Anise
Mix and combine with 6oz. Peanut Butter, works well for catching coons around here.
