Hi,
For a long time I've been looking for a bait recipe for predators that is not to hard to make and is half decently cheap, I can't find ANY! Please give me your ideas on which bait solutions are best and what to mix with them! Can you mix JUST meat with them? If you have any suggestions on what to mix with bait solution let me know, please

Thanks everyone!

Easy bait. Rat or mice. Grind up in cheap blender till u get about 12 oz of it. Add 1 drop skunk essence(optional), 1/2 tbs of beaver lure(like Backbreaker), and about tbs of mineral oil. Then add your bait solution or preservative

That would be very yummy to coyote or fox if the Rat or mice was set out to taint for couple weeks after grinding and then adding the preservative and good stuff mentioned. Any rat glands, fox or coyote glands would not hurt the mixture.

I too have some Dobbin's Bait Solution, glycerin, urines, and a big bag of boned bobcat meat.

I have no clue on how to put it, or any other easy recipe, together.

Honey would be good except personally I would each too much before it hit the bait.

For my Bait Solution - grind or chop up your cat meat. If you chop it up, make the pieces no larger than a hickory nut - the size of the nut without the hull. Let the meat taint to the degree of taint you want, if you taint it at all. Make sure you do this in a manner that flies will not get to the meat. Add bait solution to the meat. Dissolve the packet of sodium benzoate in a cup of warm water and add this to the meat/bait solution and stir thoroughly. Make sure no flies can get to it. Stir once a day for a week to ten days. If you have the meat in chunks it will take longer for the sodium benzoate to penetrate to the center of the chunks to kill the bacteria than if it is ground. Once the ten days or so have passed, the bait can be sealed, since there will be no more gas being given off by the bait.

Oh wow, I feel honored. The MAN answered my question. Thank you Paul.

Let me ask this, once I do this, and it gives me around a gallon of (I guess you might call it) generalized bait, do I then take small jars of like 12oz to make into somewhat specialized baits? I.E., add a drop of skunk, some beaver castor, etc...?

Thank you
Chad

Chad you can do whatever you want with it once it's done. It can be fun to experiment. Keep records of what and how much you added to the specialized baits. That way if one of them really outperforms everything else, you can duplicate it.

OP, I hope that you don't mind me asking questions. Your thread will help both of us as well as many beginners.

I also have beef liver, beef tongue, beef heart, steelhead carcass, and steelhead eggs.

Thank you very much Paul. Now to search for tainting methods to keep flies out. I have 2 one gallon glass jars to use.

If you don't have an Airlock, you can lay a pc of glass over the top of the glass jar. Gas can escape but flies cant get it.

I'll look for an airlock. That's a great idea but I wouldn't want a stray cat getting into it.
