I have a bag of bobcat meat in my freezer. What would be the best way for me to make use of it? I live in PA and I'm targeting fox, coyote, bobcat, and fisher. Any advice is appreciated.


Still looking for a really great tagline...

This is a good start. Buy the best the best ingredients you can.

Buy glands frozen whole and fresh. Not ground and properly preserved. That's just "marketing" not lying.

Buy urine only from someone who can show you pictures of the collection pen. Again, selling artificial pee as genuine is "marketing" not lying.

Pressed fish oil really is pressed fish oil but is useless in bait. I smelled some "black tar catfish oil" at our state convention this year that I don't have a clue what it was. Either sun render your own or buy it. Good fish oil has a LOUD smell. Smells like fish. Something you want to taste.

Don't be afraid to use different amounts or leave stuff out or add stuff.

that formula as is makes a better bait than many sell. Especially since you will use real glands not substitutes. Plenty of artificial rat gland for example. Don't bother. Get the real thing. Whole and fresh froze.

If you don't take time to find good quality ingredients for your bait making journey I say don't bother. Use that cat meat as is.

You could always dip it in Dobbins' bait solution.
