It died at the vets so they had to have it disposed of so they paid $100 to haul it off. Rendering company wont take horses anymore because of pressure from animal activists and it costs 400 to have it cremated. Last edited by Yes sir; 02/24/19 03:03 PM.

In one of Slim Pederson's older predator books,he said that his coyotes did not favor beaver meat.It seems like it works great for others.Don't ask me to explain.I have no clue but I think you need to try different baits and see what works for you and it helps to rotate things around if you are trapping canines.

For whatever reason one night one finally nipped into it. Five coyotes ate that 40-50 lb beaver in one night. Came back at least four nights and marked up the tree it was in. Was bizarre. I’ve ran straight fresh beaver meat for cats, and canned sardines out produced them. Can’t figure it out. Drop a little beaver tail oil in a bait and they’ll dig to China. Horse meat also just does not produce here even with the Nelson formula. You switch over to cat meat and it’s on. I ran straight ground mice last season early and caught every fur bearer we have to catch. Follow me on YouTube if you’re bored https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5Ulx1woYMmCN3IPLB0wwFw

If it is put in a blender and crumbled up it goes further and can be used as a trailing scent. Second to this is beef blood. Trail it across travel way to set/sets. All predators will stop to investigate.

Horse meat seems to work pretty good around here. Last season we picked up a large fraction of our bobcats on bobcat meat. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwDRby3Xny4rLKM6eo8cQ5g

Straight meat and tant it a little or do you recommend putting something else in it. I shoot at least 100 ghogs around here every year for cattle farmers and that would be a great option if I could find a recipe that worked Trap Hard, Hunt Harder... Until the buck tags filled then trap harder!
