I'm sure this has been asked before, but is fresh or tainted beaver better for making k9 bait?
Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

I have equal results anymore I prefer a more fresh beaver meat if I want it louder I add a few drops of pure quill. Remember drops you want a bait not a ldc

Little taint is key guys - No coyote, fox or bobcat wants rotten. Possum will love you the more you taint it. This sums it up good .When I make bait for coyote that is what I do taint it. with my mix I use to make it.

For a beginner, what's a ball park time for a proper taint? Say at 60 degrees?
What is a proper taint? All the problems that many folks are having trying to catch animals right now on bait and lure with "proper" taint, I'd say that is up to you. Depending on how much material you have I would put a cam on it and let the wild inform you what they like.

Thanx guys!
Just looking to put stuff to use that normally would be wasted...
Was thinking of a slight taint on beaver...then grind it with oil sacs and castor...SB and MP and something to keep it from freezing up?
I have used Jameson's, Dobbin's and Locklear's bait solutions. But figured if I do trap a couple beaver this year, I can keep it fairly simple. Keep costs down, and something I don't have to be stingy about.
I never understood how guys "up north" simply put a hunk of beaver on a tree and a little call lure and do just fine lol. Must be some hungry critters. Frozen solid fresh meat doesn't put off much smell?

According to Russ Carman a lure will give of the same amount of odor whether its frozen or not. Odor molecule movement is only related to temperature. He said a frozen lure will give off more odor than a formula that is diluted with an antifreeze. He said only purpose for an antifreeze is to keep container from breaking and to keep it in a state that we can remove it from the container. That's why I try not use use antifreeze or anything that doesn't add a contributing odor to formulations if I don't have too. Some people start adding stuff just to get a texture they want. Seems to me that would also be diluting the strength of the formulation.
