Mouse. Every predator eats mice almost every single day 365 a year. For many it is a staple or the staple. And the scent of fresh mouse is stronger than the scent of any other meat (I'm talking the regular flesh, not gland areas of skunk, weasel, etc), no need for aging. Also, mice are easy, free, and legal to collect in large quantities during most months of year.
Beav: crap or carp? or are they the same thing LOL Same thing LOL I'm not a big fan of rabbit for bait. It really doesn't have much of a odor. Now mouse urine soaked mouse nests are ten times better then the actual mouse It's self. And If you cage up a bunch of mice they just keep on giving day after day. many years ago my Dad raised and sold feeder mice for pet reptiles - walking through the room with all those mouse cages would bring tears to your eyes - if he was still around raising those mice you can bet I'd be taking all the sticking nest material!!!

I had good luck with deer and dobbins bait solution. Still using Dobbins but going to try Dunlaps and Jameson's this year. Plus have a friend that saved a bobcat carcass for me to use this year also J

What about beef? I have oxtail, neck and other parts that family doesn't eat. Was thinking just use it with solution. . That’ll work fine.

Try some liver, seriously. Add plain salt to keep it from freezing. Use it it very cold weather. Even you will be able to smell it's unique odor when approaching the set. It envokes a very unique response in predators. Does it matter if it's deer, beef, or pork liver ? -Thanks

When coyotes make a kill, the first meat they eat is the internal orgins. Liver,lungs, Kidneys. Then the hind quarters. Same when you put out beaver carcasses..

But back to the OP’s question , I’m not sure after watching Robert Waddells demo this past weekend that I would get in a hurry about adding any bait solutions . If I understood him correctly he is a believer in fresh natural baits ! I don't know what he said in his demo, but I can tell you by the numerous testimonials I've gotten from trappers using my bait solution, it definitely enhances any red meat bait. I sell hundreds of pints of it, and an awful lot of it to repeat customers. Pauli am still using your mix !!! I chunked up beaver & Rats for two years.. Made a 2 gallon pail.mixed it in ...let it set for a year.. WOW!!! WORKS WELL!!!

Beaver carcasses get ripped open and the liver/lungs/kidneys gets eaten first. Then they move it and slowly consume the rest. With small game I couldn't tell ya. I suspect its gone in one gulp..

I use Deer Dust. It's the fine stuff that comes off the band saw (like saw dust to wood saw). The deer processors throws Deer Dust in the garbage can. It's free, I don't have to gut, chop or cube, no grinning, it's ready to use fresh or be mixed with other ingredients, no mess, no waste. It very fine and I can smear it in dirthole and canine has to work to get every morsel. No hooking with toe nail and pulling bait chunk from dirthole. It's Paste-like. It's FREE from the local Deer Processor.
I stopped the messy, time consuming chopping, slicing, grinning of bait many years ago when I saw a deer processor push deer dust off his band saw table into the garbage can. That's when a light bulb appeared over my head and realized the benefits of Deer Dust. Our state, it's legal to use deer.

This is good info. Love hearing 1st hand experience. So you've seen this for beaver, and also deer? How bout small prey like rabbit, mice, squirrel, etc, if the whole animal isn't consumed then what is eaten, and what's not? Thanks! [/quote]
Mice are swallowed whole. Bids, rabbits and most other small critters are ate head first. Brains would fall into the same category as liver, heart and organs. Opening up a coyote stomach will tell you a lot of times what there feeding on and stomach content isn't a bad bait either. I opened up one the other day that had 9 whole mice in his stomach.

Would tainted hamburger(beef) work for bait? or would you mix in other stuff to make a paste bait?
