I'm thinking must not be that good or there would be a commercial bait with this added. Any thoughts?

FYI don't do this test in a field road unless you like getting kicked off of a property! I've had I" holes 6" deep turn into 10" holes knee deep

I have some homemade bait that is a few years old and does good on its own but thought maybe some bacon grease would kick it up a notch. Laz, I knew you did great on grey fox with your bacon bait but wasn't sure how the coyotes reacted to it. Real good it sounds like. Lol As stated above I am afraid of attracting too many undesirable critters also but if is that good on coyotes it would be worth it.

I do not worry about what else it brings in. Once they are taken out then you will get what you want after, that is where more then one set in a area will work the best. I not sure if I will grind up the meat or just cut it in chunks .

Dig a bait hole and fill with bacon bait or bacon grease. Then go back away from it 50 -200 feet downwind from the bait and make some subtle flat sets with just a dropping, or tiny bit of urine, or some coyote water. The other critters will be focused on the food, but coyotes by their nature are going to mill around, pace, zig and zag, etc. They will ALWAYS approach the bait from the down wind side and find those subtle flat sets that the other critters will pass by on their way to get the good stuff.

I not sure if I will grind up the meat or just cut it in chunks . One of the benefits of the bacon bait/grease is that it is slurpy so it leeches into the soil. That's the reason the critters dig and dig like some of the other guys have said. With a chunk bait, once one critter gets the chunk out of the hole, it loses a lot of its attraction.

So it is best to grind up the meat then . Is that what your advice is then ? I just looking for different ides and what will be working the best .I know need to keep the animal as long as possible

Bacon grease will attract yotes. Beware! It will attract everything else. What about bobcats in the winter?
