Coyote etc bait.

Im planning on making a batch of this for later this year with some adjustments of course. I added a few comments of my own also. Take a red fox, glands and all except the majority of the gut(of course we wouldnt waste a hide but Gramps had a few wolves had ruined). Debone most of the meat and chop the meat and hide into small chunks the size of the end of your thumb(Gramps measurement, golfball size I think?). Add 2 cups of fox (rabbit etc should work?). Pack it into fruit jars and after 3 day taint add salt enough to coat all the meat (I believe Sodium Benzoate would work better now days)use 2 pieces per set and pour some pot liquor(juice?) away from your trap high on brush. I had an uncle and his son that were direct competition for me i nthe late 70's in several areas and this bait is what they thumped me with.

lure making is a stinky business!

LOL, yes it is! Neighbors hate me Im sure. I tell most beginners that unless theyre living alone and out in the "country" theyre probably better off buying bait and lure. My "tar bait" will curl nose hairs!

I used to have a buddy who trapped wih mw the first year and I could test my tainted meat bait for ready ness on him, if he puked when I opend the jar next to him it was ready if he just gaged and dry heaved it needed a day or 2 more lol Found all my best martin lure made him puke too, I don't think his gut was cut out for trappin, probly why he sold me all his traps and moved south lol.
