I think that, like most of the best threads on this forum got "pruned". Apparently the pruning was done by dates with no regard to content. Anyhow the search says not here no more.

A more recent thread on bait for grab and pulls: https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/6129970/Favorite_Bait_or_Lure_for_Grub

You could search the 'net for APHIS or Wildlife Services/USDA papers/research on use/baits for M44 cyanide guns/coyote getters, that's the definition of grab and die.

Go to chat-lures, what where and when

Wayne you had an excellent bait stick making pictorial instruction 2-3 years ago. I thought it was in the archived "Fall Coyotes" thread but now I can't find it.

"Fall Coyotes" isn't archived, it's like 3500 pages of chitchat in the chat forum, and growing. Some good information in both those threads but if you can sort it out of the other stuff, it's because you already know it.

Berlap 1 inch wide 7 long. Hot glue to dowl pin 1/2x6

Nice Mr. Wayne. Looks like a half inch willow will work as well.

What will work other than burlap? I don't recall seeing any recently.

I make mine from 3/8x8" dowel by hot gluing a twist of sheep wool to it. The lanolin odor is an added attractor, plus I haven't evicted the mice that occasionally bed in it.Got a big garbage bag of it from friend Sammy Petty several years ago. It don't take a lot of wool to do 80 or 100. I don't dig many holes, just use grub stakes and also plug some gray plastic conduit with wool leaving a tail hanging out, a slight mod to Mr. Zagger' excellent idea. If you're not in sheep country, some supply dealers sell small bags of it. Good stuff to use, even in a hole in the ground.

Felt from craft stores. Many fabric stores sell burlap. Wally world sells both.

Lots of farm supply places have empty burlap bags. I always keep some because I use burlap in the fur shed. One bag would make a lot of bite sticks.

Try the grey carpet with no backing they sell in Lowes and Home Depot. Thicker than felt or burlap and soaks up lure/bait. One bundle would last 3 life times and its about $12.

Vet wrap works also.

Check with concrete finishers for burlap scraps. I buy it for work to roll out and water cure concrete and always have scrap around that I’m throwing in a dumpster.

Oak roots Las from scrub oak. Wally world burlap stinks to me. Wool is good felt is good.

I make a bunch of grab stick. Run a 5/8 dowel rod about 9 in. long take 2 in. of vet wrap wrap it about 1/2 from the top with a small wade of wool. One wrap of the vet wrap then slide a catsorating band up on it from the bottom to hold it on.
I like the 5/8 dowel because my driver can make a pilot hole in frozen ground and a 1/2 will snap off if hit wrong. I more successes with them over bones any day!!!

I use schedule 40 1" pipe and wood, wrapped with felt from Wally's cut in strips, hot glued. The felt comes in different colors for contrast too..

Vet wrap is best (for ease) in my opinion. Mole skin could work. Burlap works well.

I have piles of this stuff laying around and never thought of using it. But I also have lots of burlap, from being in sheep country. Will have to look at the differences, unless you alrighty have, usmc47
