Trapping Groundhog with Bait : Best Groundhog Bait 

My man. Thank you for getting straight to the point.

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

Finally caught mines after 3 days. Had to seal off all alternative entry points, camouflage trap & made a trail of cantaloupe along with bananas to the trap. Thank you for the info. Successfully caught my first groundhog.

Your certainly willing to learn and pass it along

Great tips

Thanks for the great video. No cantaloupe at the store but apples did the trick. This "gentleman" has been torturing me for some time. It's done!!!

Same situation for me so I had to use a live trap this time and caught it in a day. I used sliced apple, baby carrots and banana. It liked the carrots and banana best. Cantaloupe would be a good choice also. I'm on a farm so the destructive varmint was not relocated. I always lay a piece of sheet metal or old paneling on the trip pan cause other critters often take the bait without stepping on the pan. Great video, thanks.

Got this info from a professional critter trapper. Fresh green bean trail leading to the trap, 1 inside trap entrance. Bait to hang from inside trap. Fresh cabbage half, smeared with bait paste smeared on cabbage. I bought the paste, not sure what's in it. Its sweet and my guess is sweet cherries crushed. If you want to buy the paste the Company is in East Granby CT. Grandhogs have poor eyesight so you need a large piece in back of trap so they see it easily.

HAVE 2 large ones in garden will try

Thank you for this info. I am going to get some cantaloupe right now to put in the trap for Pete the groundhog pest!!!!

Great thanks for the info I got a couple of those pestu things trying to get into my house

Thanks for the video! I have a trap up in a run I've seen the furry guys take multiple times, but if I don't have success with that, I now know to leave some fruit out and I will hopefully have some success. Stay safe!

Savage 17 always works lol

I have been trying cantaloupe and something is eating all the pieces, but not setting off the trap. Possibly mice? Any suggestions as to how to improve my technique?

I'm about to do this later today...wish me luck!

How long did it take for your trap to catch the ground hog?

You've got a nice Poke Salat plant growing in your compost pile! Boil it three times changing the water each time, then drain and scramble in with eggs. Great Appalachian folk remedy and dish. Thins your blood after the winter.

I wasn't aware peanut butter was a meat.

Do you think boiled okra would work?

I had one escape the trap (no idea how). Are they difficult to recapture? I wonder if now he knows it's a trap, will he learn and refuse to enter going forward?

didnt work for me i tried them melon and even carrots and nothing

I want to know where you got that trap that looks pretty strong and I can't find anything that strong keep ripping mine apart

I have had very good luck with pieces of apples 🍎

So did you kill him or carry him off somewhere like miles away and release?

I swear by carrots, but see cantaloupe is also a winner. Goof job

Peanut butter and syrup works every time

I use broccoli 🥦 they love it

What kind of fruits you use ?

Then…what do I do with this critter… They seem to return again and again…🥺

Very good setup but those are baby's bro. Show me a big one in your trap and then I am on your team. I can catch 10 of those little ones in a week using just about anything editable but the big ones are way too smart and picky to walk into a trap. The fruit line in the back, good stuff, just not catching mama and papa that way.

I literally need you in my life, but I live in Lowellville Ohio. We just bought a house and living along the perimeter of the house that actually caused the concrete steps to fall away from the house? Groundhogs. I can trap them myself but then what? I have no idea where to take them.

Canned creamed corn makes good bait.

1:47 Myth debunked, if groundhogs are hungry enough (just like anything else) they will eat tuna. I had two traps with tuna and the groundhogs under my storage building ate it. My only concern is them reproducing, the more groundhogs, the harder to rid them out of your property.

They won't touch it even covered with green tree branche

I told a bro from colorado about grundsei. He laughed, a giant prairie rat? Upland beaver? One night while on a beer run, I saw one a car had killed and stopped. He got out with the flashlight and his jaw dropped. He thought Punxsutawney Phil was a cartoon. I told him, tastes like beef. That fall we got some and his wife, from the bayous, cooked them and loved it. when cleaning, do not screw the scent gland. Years later, when liberals screwed the economy under Obama, I had a lot of Hispanic neighbors. My son and I got a few, big ones living on clover in lawns, and cooked them and they all tried a little. shortly after, groundhogs went extinct in the area. They're a poverty food, but a tasty poverty food.
