I was just curious as to what everyone uses for weasel bait in their boxes. I have chicken liver and some baits and lures for predators and didn't know if those would work or not.

ive had the best luck with a tub of chicken livers, with a few drops of anise in it. stir and seal the tub, and place in the fridge for a day or two.

Beaver for bait but most any meat will work. Weasel gland for lure; or any lure until you catch a weasel.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

What you have will work just find.....just go do it.
If they are around it will get them curious.
And post your catch results.

I use chicken liver. I add some Sodium Benzoate and salt to keep it fresh and to help keep it from freezing. I also use Lenon's Weasel Super All Call lure and Anise/Petroleum jelly.

Liver Is a great bait. Blood Is a great actuator for weasels and liver meets those qualifications.

Dunno if weasels make trails, but I have watched them work meadow vole trails in summer and winter.

Well just to give an update, I didn't catch anything. I was using chicken liver only, because I did not have any lure. Maybe next year. My season is over as I am back to school for another semester of learning.
