This has somewhat been discussed before.

But, has anyone here intentionally used any type of gland lure in coon boxes or buckets later in the season: late November thru early January?

If so, what were the results?

Thanks.

Personally I won't set traps like those or cages late season for coon without big baits of multiple types and Blackie's Boars Delight in them. I learned this from the greatest late season coon trapper I have ever known or heard of. He catches more coons in January than most guys catch in November around here.

Coon gland lure works for me late season but also I’ve found that about any gland lure is attractive to coon in late season. Coyote, cat, fox, mink, they all work late season on my line for coon. Blinds sets are good late too.

Thanks guys. I have some Blackie's already but plan on picking up more at the Illinois convention this weekend.

Plus, I've been freezing whole fish during the summer. Will cut up and use in boxes.

I know that anyone that has coyote trapped has caught big bore coon at sets with coyote gland lure.

3togo I know for several seasons now I’ve not had very good luck with DPs late in year even when I know there are still coon in the area. Dry baits with little odor don’t seem to reach out and grab as well in cold dry late season weather. Early in December I can hammer them with DPs. After Christmas not so much.
I have some luck with them using straight oily fish like mackeral mashed up and spooned into those traps. Always a lure on the lip too though.
I have better luck with cages and bigger baits and lots of gland lure. Also blind sets with footholds or 160s and 220s seem to take bulk of my late season coon.
We have such a mixed bag around here. Hard to make a coyote set without taking coon too. The loud predator baits and predator gland lures really shine late for coon too. Part of the reason why I don’t run too large traps for coyote because I can count on lots of decent boar coon in my sets too.
Gang set like you do early season too.
Charlie Dobbins land trapping book talks about gland lures for late season coon. I’m a believer in them and again not necessarily coon gland lure either but any predator gland lure seems to hold their interest.

Like ADC, I'm a huge fan of Boar's Delight in the late season. Great stuff!

I always piled them up late season with O gormans coyote gland lure on the rim of the dp and my homemade sweet lure and bait inside. Beaver castor was my # 2 lure on late season.

Thanks again guys. Like everyone else I have caught big coons in coyote sets with coyote gland lure.
I've been saving all of my sardine oil whenever I eat sardines and plan on using that along with dry bait in DP's. I have made more coon buckets, and will set 220's in whatever trails I can find. Most of the ditch type water sources here have dried up, and some oaks are not producing well. But a little scouting after deer season will show where they are traveling.

ozark,
I have extra castor and BTO which I made a bunch of several years ago.

Like others have said blackies works well. Also it isn’t coon specific but red fox gland lure like lenons or from mark June always work well for me

I used gray fox gland on the lip of dp’s one year and the biggest thing I noticed was a distinct lack of sow coon in my traps.

Carmans mink gland lure is a boar coon magnet.
