LOL Paris island isn't that's where the boy Scouts have parties? JK

You'd sound funny telling a nurse you got beat up by a boy scout....lol. Heck, it's where all female Marines are trained too....it's an evil place...lol.

Well, I finally made some of this today and froze it. Wife is out of town, so I did lots of smelly things today.

I used the basic recipe (with 6 pounds of bacon), added a can of jack mack and about 12 oz of fish oil, 1/4 oz of vanilla, and 1/2 of liquid smoke.

It was pretty juicy--I think it was the fish oil and jack mack. But it did firm up once cool, and I was able to mix it up really good.

The dogs went nuts over it...

This is a great thread

How many Pounds of bacon endes would you need to make a batch just to try Im having a hard time thinking of how much Grease the bacon would produce? i saw bacon ends today i think it was about a 3 pound box for 6 bucks im thinking.

Well I wanted to not have leftovers so I doubled everything. I have no use for extra lard.

The ends and pieces come in 3 lb bags. Tracy said 1.5 lbs of lard for 3 lbs of bacon. With that and no other ingredients except the castor and honey, you will end up with about 2+ quarts of bait.

If you wanted a smaller amount, just save 1/3 of the bacon ends to eat and use 1 pound of lard. You'd want to reduce the honey, castor, etc. as well.

Hey guys this is a great post.
About how many dirt hole sets would a pint jar full make up.

Carson:

I use an old butter knife for my sets and just get a good wad on the knife blade at each set.

Two years ago I gave a quart to a buddy of mine and he liked it so much that by the end of the year, he said he was down to using a Q-tip to apply the bait to his dirt hole -- and he was still catching critters. So somewhere between a teaspoon full and Q-tip is about right.

I might add some moonshine or smokinaces

Thorpe had a recipe like that also. he used it in his campfire sets. poured it on a pourous stone or brick and he said they would bout wear there tongues off licking that stone..im sure that bacon bait would work, simple as it gets.

Are you guys still catching on this in freezing temps?

the wolves are on the move tearing apart all my sets! they ruined a couple cubbys tore about around all my footholds dug um out of the ground.... friken [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot]!

"Step 1

Get some bacon ends and pieces at the grocery store. I get mine from WalMart. The cheaper the better because it will have more fat."

Have you seen it anywhere else, I checked at my local Wally World and they never heard of it. Thanks!

Disregard, I found some!

How much Sodium Benzoate for 6 lbs of bacon, 3 pounds of lard, honey and castor? Thanks!

You won't need it, bacon already has curing agents in it for the smoking process. Smoking pork is dangerous otherwise.

Pork is really hard to light up at first, but no more dangerous than smoking tobacco. Just sayin'.

One more question, why not just use sasauge instead of getting the bacon ends and pieces and then grinding it up like sausage, why not just use some cheap fatty sausage?

Because everyone likes Bacon

My wife made the mistake of taking me with her into Bed's, Bath and Beyond to find candles for Christmas gifts. You should have seen the looks I got whenI asked where to find the Bacon Scented Candles.
