I set out some chunk beaver tail over a year ago and left it out through a indiana winter, is it still good it looks nicely separated. Would the chunks left at the bottom be good coyote bait?

Yes; works for me.

yes

and yes

Beaver tail oil keeps giving. Drain off collected oil and begin another render period.

Thanks guys, do I have to add anything to the chunks to use as bait or can I just put it in a old bait jar and call it good?

I’ve not added anything to my first batch , it’s three or four years old .

nope, jar it

When I made mine up,the coons somehow got the lid off and ate every bit of the solids ( i call it sludge}. Had all the chunks of beaver tail pieces not touched. My guess just using the sludge would be excellent by itself. I have some dry dog food that I will be mixing with it to use in my DPs. And will be trying the beaver tail pieces at my coyote sets this coming season.

I used pelletized floating fish food and tail oil and it made an excellent k-9 bait. But I also grind up my tail chunks once they stop producing enough oil to make it worth siphoning out of the bucket. They will still produce a little oil, which is a good thing.
