Has anyone made fox or coyote bait from road killed deer. The Tenterlion or hind quarters. How did it turn out , Also did you use Dobbins bait solution.

I have three gallons of cubed deer meat chunk coyote bait I made a couple years ago. Loins, back straps, and hind quarter meat. Tainted it in a five gallon bucket with lid and t-shirt between lid and bucket to let gas escape plus kept bugs and flies out.
I only let it get to a very light taint, really mild. This was a fresh killed deer mind you when we started, got a salvage tag to take the road kill. Once lightly tainted we Then added sodium benzocaine at that point and some other stuff like beaver castor, mink glands, and rat glands.
When it was all cured I divided it into three separate gallon containers. One is "as is" with nothing further added. The second got a little cured salted fish and fish oil added to it, and the third got a little cultured egg added and some burnt bacon.
We caught animals on all three baits the last two seasons, and have some left to use up this year too. Coyotes didn't seem to show any preference for one or the other, they all worked and I expect it to perform equally well this year too.
The castor odor has mellowed out in it from what I remember it smelling like last year. But it still looks same like freshly preserved meat chunks. Thought about adding a little skunk to it but it worked fine as is last year so am hesitant to adjust it.
I made about three gallons when I started and I only have about $5 in the sodium benzoate in my cost in it, everything else was something I caught or had here that I added to it. The salvage tag was free from local sherif.
I'm sold on merits of making this bait in terms of saving cost for a few seasons.
Good luck and hoping myself to hear from others responding to your inquiry too. Thank you for posting this. It was my first real stab at a larger bait batch too.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

as jabne said get a salvage tag go road shopping ! Most states deer seasons in full swing during trapping season, Deer is a steady part of their diet at this time. So give them what they want. My warden told me as long as its for personal use its legal to use with a salvage tag. Like jim I use additives I have on hand . I like sac oil and skunk in my batchs and preserve with pickling salt

works GREAT
I've used Blackies, Dobbins, Jamesons, Marsyadas solutions with great results.

Some states game animal is illegal. IMO the stuff you add is more important than the base. They don't sniff and dig and rub because of the base material. When you get done adding glands or tinctures or honey or bacon or whatever else you have created a curiosity. Its not likely something the animal ever encountered before. Certainly not something it normally would eat.

I agree with Danny the bait solutions are good enough that I truly believe you could add them hot dogs and do just about as good. With the bait solutions you basically have a lure you are mixing with a base to act as a holder. If I want my meat base odor to come out in the formulation a little stronger I've been know to mix the bait solution at half rate.

Gutpiles during rifle deer season sure dont lay there very long before they are completely cleaned up.

The bait solutions I have used in the past were mediocre at best. Side by side use and no comparison.

Personally I don't like the consistency of ground deer as compared to beaver or cat meat, no matter what it is mixed with.
