Joe's thread has gotten me motivated to get out and trap worthless coon a bit too. Damn that fugger!
I plan to leave work a few hours early tomorrow and set a few at the farm. I can't get too crazy with it as my buddies are still trying to fill their tags and don't want me setting in certain corn plots.
I got a bunch of DPs and 220s ready, and am sure I will not set them all tomorrow but would rather have too many than not enough.
For DP bait, I bought the cheapest cat food I could find and mixed it with cherry'ish smelling bait I picked up at a convention a couple years ago. I also did a mix with some persimmon oil (smells real sweet). And have the standard marshmallows. I plan to document what I put in each trap to see if there is a preference.
Although they tend to not be as productive, I just love blind setting 220s in their trails. Just a bit more satisfaction in a catch for me.
