So I was wondering if anyone had tried using squirrels as bait?
I'm going to try it and just wondered if anyone had tried it and had any success?

When you do try the squirrel, please let us know.  I can add it to the

What parts will you try?  Head or hide seems most expendable.
We have heard a report of deer ribs raising some crabs but others have had poor to zero results.  On the fence with that one.

And the satisfaction of a dead groundhog. Win, win!

Yes, that would be satisfying.

I put ground venicin-deermeat in 3 orange bags in topless traps last year on one trip.  Caught crabs on chicken necks and perch in most of the other traps but did not catch either crab on the deermeat.   Besides that it was very hard to clean the ground venicin out of the bags at the end of the day.  I won't never try that again!!   
I love to fish, but I live to crab.
