[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1428182, member: 25884"] Strawberrys or pieces of watermelon or cantaloupe....catches groundhogs, coons, skunks.....I can just set an empty trap next to the small "chicken tractor" and they go in just trying to find a way into the coop. Heard the chickens squawking about midnight, ran out and there is a coon, had dug under the side where the ground was soft from the rain, so I opened the side door that the chickens use when I turn them out loose, opened the little door in back and beat the SOB with a stick to make him get out since I wasn't gonna take a chance of hitting the chickens. 2 nights later, he was right back and walked right into the havahart, no bait, nothing. Have some friends that have coon dogs so they come get them and bring back the trap next day. Set it and 2 nights later got a skunk looking for a way in. 22 short to head, stinky trap but it is set again. Get tired of dealing with them but.... If your trap is a little small, a BIG BOAR coon can go in, reach for the bait and his back can hold up the door enough to be able to back out. I use the biggest trap I can find so that the varmit has to go way in before they can reach the trip plate and the door will fall all the way down. Watched a male that went into a smaller trap, and his back end was far enough back that the trap door just fell on his back and he backed out. Smart ba$#@t@#d. [/QUOTE]
