Thank you very much Paul. Now to search for tainting methods to keep flies out. I have 2 one gallon glass jars to use. I like using plastic buckets for tainting. Glass can break if the lid is on too tight. Some folks put the end of a tube through the lid and the other end weighted down in a container of water. You might want to calk where the tube goes into the lid if you don't have an airtight seal. This allows the gas to vent into the water while giving no place for flies to gain access to the meat. Some like to put one of those aquarium aerators on the end of the tube. I simply put the lid on the plastic bucket and place a weight on the lid. As the gas builds up, it escapes around the seal and the weight on top of the lid puts enough pressure on it to keep any gaps from forming that will let flies in. Sometimes I will find fly eggs around the bucket lid, so I wipe them off good before opening the bucket.

I've had great luck on coyotes with chopped beaver and Dobbins' Bait Solution. Nothing else added but you sure can. Another simple one is Jack Mackerel. Go here and enter Jack Mackerel in the Trapperman search box for a bunch of reading. The recipe from Hershberger's book is 2 cans of Jack Mackerel, 1/4 ounce tincture of asafoetida (get that from Paul here) and enough honey to make a paste. Mash up the mackerel, stir it all together and it's done.

I'll look for an airlock. You can also drill a 1/4" hole and tape 3 or 4 layers of scrap flannel shirt over it, as taught in Nick Wyshinski's book. Personally, I use lil aquarium air stones, and keep critters away from it.

It seems as though this bait making deal isn't as hard as I/someone might think that it is. It seems as though once you do it once you learn that in reality it is pretty easy.
Now I'm not taking anything away from the professional bait makers, their skills and time spent testing speak for themselves.
All that I'm saying is that for someone who's never done it, we might be over thinking it due to having never done it as well as our complete misunderstanding of what the term "Bait" truly means. We might be thinking that we have to make something as complex as the professionals when in reality that's not the case at all.

If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

ive since then started using 5 gallon oil buckets. They have a rubber o ring in the lids! Prevents flys from getting in and lets gass out. Fly eggs will develop around the seam I just wipe it down with bleach kills eggs, and slows flys down
