And I should have said lure, because I seldom used bait after the early learning seasons, unless targeting possums. I have never used shad, so am only guessing, but believe that anything smelly will attract scavengers and all predators are scavengers at some point. Possums do find more sets than most other critters because they start out earlier in the evening and have the traps plugged by the time others arrive. I used to make a lot of possum sets early in the season. Easy money I thought. heck yea, skinned many possums when they were worth money.

What's the most a possum hide was ever worth? I remember coons being worth 40.00 at one time. That seems like a lot for back then! Is my memory correct?
