I've trapped a couple of thousand raccoons and a few hundred opossums over my lifetime. Most of them while I was using box traps. I always heard raccoons and opossum raid the turkey nests. So, as an experiment, I decided to use chicken eggs as natural bait next to the treadle inside the traps. This was totally unproductive. I did not catch anything.
Has anyone else tried this and were you successful?
