I agree with gbus its more like conditioning them to work dirt holes more readily. Yotes learn fast,make it a area of interest. Im not saying prebaiting will pull in a thousand yotes a year! But it enables me to make a spot for a easy dozen. Few dozen spots like that and it makes a season easier! It hasn't made my numbers jump but it has kept them consistent year after year. Again population density plays the biggest role in anything when it comes to big numbers

I have fryer oil from deep frying turkeys. It isn't real bad, but it is all I have so I might try that. I have some other essential oils like shellfish etc I could add. My goal is coyotes, would shellfish get them looking and digging? Any other ideas of essential oils I could add?

I'm going to start late September to try to get them coming just to make my couple weeks vacation more productive.

thseeker find coyote sign and listen for them singing also. buy a good prepared bait. find some good urine. (I know its not easy to find but worth the effort) set traps with the bait and urine where the coyotes are

any oil thats cooked meat will work all by itself. Save your essential oils for a change up smell.I don't try to put my bait holes on major travel ways my preference is the small secondary ones. I never set the immediate area of the bait holes to help reduce grinners skunks and coons. bait holes are no different than carcass piles or salt blocks all are intended to draw animals and do

I have been pre baiting spots for years, for coon I start out with test sites June to Sept. Then the spots I want to trap I put more bait in 2 weeks before I set the traps. I want to make it clear I am not just going out and putting baits anywhere or all over, I am picking spots based on the target animals movements and when I think they will be using the area. Again as Beav and Bob as stated there are areas where the coon will be depending on the time of year, and the good trapper knows this. I pre bait by digging in the baits or oils or dry powder. I really like oils or powders because they stay there, and that creates a habit in the critters to check the spot out when in the area. For fox I bury carcass of the animals I catch in fur or wildlife control jobs. These spots go for years and again creates a habit to check out the spot every time they are in the area.

ya ron I don't set mine toxi turvey either they are in spots of known activety I avoid coons like the plague I catch enough once I get close to timber! I believe in my area coons are the new grinners. I have a handful of spots I hit with grease ever year. Those tiny mouse holes are holes for corner posts now.It absolutely amazes me how long and hard they will dig for something that's never produced a meal. But they are determined that something good is waiting at the bottom of the hole they never reach!

I have a neighbor who owns a fish and chips shop. I get his spent cooking oil by the 100 gallon lot. Sure as heck works great for me. I don’t have possums, coons, and skunks to worry about either.

IMO if you’re going to pre bait with the idea of concentrating animals to a central location (mainly canines) with the thought of coming back later to get them fast, than you have to pre-bait with something that offers them a full belly.

They’ll come back more frequently and consistently to something that offers them a full belly than just something that offers an interesting smell.

When I ran a lot of big bait stations, the number of coyotes taken, and the speed with which they were taken was ALWAYS greater at the sites that were pre-baited for several weeks prior to setting gear.

Locations that were baited with “smells” never produced like the locations that were baited with “meals”.

Now that is a fact ! All the farmers here dope up their sick animals to the point yotes wont touch them! Unless they are starving and I don't care to catch those anyhow .Usually bad mange critters. From my notes a bad mange catch that location goes dead for the season

Im not looking to stack them up as much as get them 10 to 50 yards off their easy travel path. My problem is too much visibility in built up areas. Im hoping to drill a 1.5 inch hole, shameless plug for Josh Weiks at FurShedFabrications as his drill is a work of art, then pre-bait with turkey fryer oil fortified with some other smells just to get them used to checking out an area just off the normal travel route.

Andy's video shows him doing something similar with fish renderings where he puts a hole well up a draw to keep the orange masses from seeing the set location as they drive by.

Right now I'm leaning towards liquid smoke in the fryer oil. I have others to sort through too.

I buy cheap bacon at Walmart, grind or chop it fine then brown it. Add this to fryer oil so they have meat and fat to come back and feed on. A bit of honey for taste adds to it also.. I'm trying to pull from areas I don't have access to. Seems to help.. Took 20 from one location..

I’ve got raw honey so maybe I’ll try that mix!
