cat food - bread - corn- oatmeal - its more a prob to find the right spot- have it soak for at least 12 hrs -

hide it good or it will be stolen or some environmental nut cuts the cord to the trap


oh i wish i would have caught you hippie cutting my ropes to two traps - oh dem feels Evil or Very Mad

I had a friend who had that problem and they would just tie a piece of thin fishing line to another anchor just in case.....didnt always work but there were times where the rope was cut, but no the line
