I cut 30-50 pounds of need shoulder clod into stew meat every week where I work, and there is a lot of trimmings and fat that just gets thrown away. Is there any way I could make this into coyote bait? I have some sodium benzoate, and I could get some bait solution if I needed to. Thoughts?

They throw all that away?!?

Are they looking to hire a plant manager? I have 15 years in the business (multi species) and 8 of those are VP of operations.

I agree. I deal with a mom and pop operation. They sell EVERY ounce in a 55 gal drum for who knows what. Dog food? Point is they are very small but market everything.

My claim was that I could make my paycheck out of the drop.

Turned out, they didn't want to pay me that much..... There is a market for everything. Everything.

Red meat and fat? No brainer.

Lungs and spleen? Harder, but can be done.

Bird enthusiasts love it in the winter. All the little birds eat suet in winter. Dill old onion sacs and sell for 5 bucks each. Simple and saleable.


Wish I had more time to trap....

It is a Restaraunt. We go through a lot of beef stew in the winter, and we don't have much use for the fat. What looks like meat is mostly silver skin m

Straight up bait stations and either snare or blind set trails depending in state regulations. Winter is ideal blind set time when snow gets deeper especially if they have a place they are going regular.

I'm not sure I have enough to do a bait station. I have maybe 10 pounds this week, next Saturday when I cut stew meat again, I may or may not have more than that.

Fill a 5 gallon bucket with it, add water and freeze. Predator popsicle. I read that somewhere years ago and tried it. It works as a draw for months, even after it's completely melted.


Not as bad as I could be, not as good as I should be.

If you're into adc at all, once the seasons over I'd save what you don't use and run that on the critter line. Lots of fur taken by beef scraps.


Smile, you're an expert!
