I'm going to start trapping again this fall in Pa. for the first time in 20years since I was a kid. I used to trap coon with a lure and tuna fish. I am not sure where to start with buying lures for this year. I will be after coon ,fox, and coyote and mink since I saw 3 this spring turkey hunting. Any help getting started would be appreciated. Thanks gbsa

I can't believe some of our trappers didn't respond to you yet, GBSA.
I won't be of much help not being a trapper but myself, but check out our search function located in the upper right hand corner of the forum. Do a search on lures and check out some of the previous related posts. See if it helps you out a little. Limit your search to the Trapping & Fur Handling forum, it'll speed things up for ya. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Sardines work for most anything. However, if you are using land sets, you will get a lot of opposums, skunks. If you are after coons, this is the best bait IMO. Use water sets, and you won't have a problems catching anything other than coons. Grey fox urine has worked will for me on both reds and greys as well as skunks and other things I was not really after. When using dirt hole sets, rabbit works real well. I will pick up road kills or kill a couple and mainly just use the skin/fur. It does not take much poked in the hole to really work, then just spread around a little urine (fox, bobcat, coyote) and you should be in business. I have not used the gland lures much, but have used it for bobcats.

I hardly ever use bait for canines. A good lure like anyhting from Carman's does the trick.

Both have lots of supplies for trapping and as I said, alot of different makers of lures and baits.
Hope this helps and I hope you have a great first season. Good luck!!

River Runner,
I have been so busy this past summer. It has been pretty crazy. Have been trying to get all the ( honey do's) done before trapping season starts. Painted my house, had my grandchildren for about a month and a half (loved every minute!) And my regular work has been busy. But now things are slowing done , and I hope to be here more often.
Thanks for asking.
I'm still waiting for the weather to turn off cold so I can start putting out some traps. It's still to warm. Upper 70's to low 80's during the day and still in the upper 40's at night.
Just waiting!!!!
