Coon Bait-How can I trap a porcupine for bait? How could I catch coon along a hillside where there is no stream? What bait should I use when I can’t get fish? Can the coon locate the trap by sense of smell and are they afraid of the odor of human beings?
It is no trick to catch the porcupine; just bait the trap with salt. You can catch a coon as well along the hillside as along the streams, providing that he travels there regularly. Make a hole in the bank or under a stump, place bait in the hole, and set the trap in front, covered. If you can’t get fresh fish, smoked herring is good; so is chicken or any kind of fowl, muskrat or bird. Scent with fish oil and a drop of oil of anise. The coon will not be frightened by the human odor or that of the trap.
