  I've had good luck with carrots soaking in some honey. Only trouble is, coons will also go for it.
  
  Another way that works, is if they have a trail through high grass, you can place the trap in the high grass and cover the trap with grass as well as you can with a lot of it sticking in the trap. They aren't very smart. [:D]

  Clover or Alfalfa. If you don't get the groundhog, you'll surely get wabbits !

  You have to use C4, shaped like little rabbits and squirrels. It has been tried and proven on at least one golf course. [:D]

  I agree that some fress vegetables, such as lettuce, carrots, etc. Also, peanut butter. Peanut butter will attract virtually any rodent, so be prepared to find all kinds of stuff in your trap.

  I have had the best luck catching the evil rascals with dried distillers grain. Its a feed product out of ethanol plants. Local cattle feeder or feed store should have it.
  
  Good luck, Rick
