Howdy fellow trappers!
I have access to a lot of calf-fries. Would that make a good bait if a mixed it with bait solution? Anyone ever eaten or used them? We eat them fried with batter. Ain't to tasty.

I can pm my address , I love cant get enough of the original sack lunch lol

I wouldn't waste perfectly good calf fries for bait. Good eating in my book. Dipped in seasoning and slow fried for us.


B

There is a outer skin you have to take off or they will be tough to eat. They are dang tasty

I dont like them

Might be on to something.


“Sack Lunch Punch” Predator Bait


4 balls, tainted
Pinch of sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 pint fox urine
1 pint bobcat urine
1/5 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 cup castor, dried
1/2 oz BTO
1/2 fresh ball

To good to waste

Yeah don't waste them for bait. I did save them from about 6 deer this fall. Im going try this winter. They definitely have a unique odor tainted.

What are you calling calf-fries? Another name?

No, to good to eat to waste as bait. Battered and deep fried, doesn't get much better than that.

Balls.

Nuts

Testicles

Mountain Oysters

I ate them for dinner 3 times last week. It would be a shame to use them for bait

Every one has went to banding then around here. Makes it darn hard to get here. You send me the mountain oysters I'll send u some great bases for bait. Lol

Bet they use a calf table too, dang califorinins

Most. Some outfits still drag. Equipment has replaced skill

But it makes my skills more valuable when they do need me.

Never heard them referred to by that name before, sounds like bait to me.

So when you castrate pigs are those piglet fries?

Yep!

We still cut on the ranch. If we can't eat them all they are great to give away to land owners who let me trap/hunt 😀

Trick is to cook them until just done and no more. A bit too far and they get rubbery. Many farmers and ranchers here consider them a on par with ribeye!
