Spot on RP

RPMartin you word it the best ,When not active fat show up. then when active. The body can only burn so much of the fat for how active the body is no matter what.
.

your body can not make fat without carbohydrates

Stick to driving truck and let Jessie James Decker explain body weight. LOL

A coyote is hyperactive they burn alot of energy all the time ,that is why they need a hi protein diet. My coydog he is just that hyperactive and I feed him a high protein food,other wise his health is not where it should be .

rp is correct. Look at the girl lost for 2 weeks. Lost 15-20 pounds living on berries and grass.

What happened to lacing up the boots and getting ya grind on in the field to build success?

Nothing happened to it. What's wrong with with getting people's results, opinions and ideas before the testing begins? A guy could pick up a good tip or idea to try. I thought that was part of the reason for this forum, to ask questions and bounce ideas off one another. Besides most of my trapping takes place out of state so I don't know how the coyotes will react until I put it in front of them.

Here's a question sense we are on the subject, if I test a bait here in Wisconsin during the summer what are the chances I will get the same reaction in Texas during the winter??

Spot on your reasoning as to why we have these forums RP.

Go for It I can't see why a Texas coyote wouldn't hit on a lure/bait combo tested In WI. I'm pretty sure Paul didn't test Back Breaker In every state before It went on the market.

Coyotes reactions do very from winter to summer but I'm learning just as much testing in warm weather as when testing in fall and winter. I will say just dont fail a lure based off the results you get in the summer.

That's a good point beav. To many variables in regional testing to pin down an accurate assessment. When things dry out here I will try to do some testing.

One thing about summer you should consider is that some baits can get eaten by insects pretty fast.

Good point.

That is what I been wonder also RP ,if no one to get others opinions and ideas before testing and try to lean something what others have found out . I take what good is it for this forum also.

"fascinating" well good luck. Do enough testing and you will find out the answer very quickly.

Ideas and opinions are great, but you have to have a little common sense when implementing them into the field. Not brain surgery when it comes time to attract animals.

Wow, I guess you have it all figured out then. Why don't you just run along so some of us that aren't god's gift to bait making can continue to stumble along.

No sir, I don't have it all figured out, but I also don't believe in magic. What I do have figured out works and works well for the animals I trap or need to attract.

I put many hours into field testing and observing animal reaction/responses to many different ingredients, as could you and then you could have your own observation on how well something works or not. All I'm saying is that if one really wants to know what will work for them, they should field test so they could have their own results vs what works for everyone else which is a no-brainer, not gods gift.

I've never tested bait or lure in the off season before so that was another question I have. When there is so much food in the warmer months it seems it would be harder to get a reaction from a bait than certain lures.

Good point about the ants. That would be another benefit of using the bacon grease or fryer oil. I would have to guess using either one of those would cut down on the ant problem. Or why not mix the fryer oil with the bacon grease together for the best of both worlds. Lol I wish coon were worth more.
