Bait for wild rabbit's

[Boomerx]

I don't know if this will work on cottontails, but it works very well on hare. Use brown bread or 7 grain bread, along with apple as bait. A friend of mine asked me for advice a couple of weeks ago, because he saw hare right at his traps (that were baited with apple), and he hadn't been able to catch one in over two weeks. I told him about the brown bread, and he caught 7 in a week. Works in summer and winter. Try baiting late in the evening or the squirrels will grab the bait first.

I forgot to tell you I have been using Peanut butter and Apples. It works great!!!!!! I always brush the trap in, because that really seems to matter.

I have caught 6 this week in homemade box traps. I use cut apples that I bought in a bag at the grocery. They seem to work better if I let the apples sit for a day after being cut.


I spray my hands with scent killer before handling the bait or the traps.
