Don't overthink what it takes to attract and trap coons. They are curious by nature and will investigate anything that catches their eye. Back before DP traps, I used leg holds with foil on the pan in real shallow water so they could see and investigate the trap. Worked pretty well, but not as good as the DP's baited with a $2 bag of marshmallows that will last most of a season.https://m.flemingtraps.com/fleming-dog-proof-raccoon-trap-2-pack-with-set-tool-galvanized.html
Would be great for coon with cheap cannef cat/dog food or tuna.
