When I smell a well cooked steak I start to salivate. I can just taste it and the smell puts a picture of a good steak in my mind. I can only imagine this is what is happening to Mr. Coyote when they smell a good bait. If a coyote smells beaver I would imagine he either wants it or does not. Why would a bait formula make a bait more appealing if a coyote had never smelled it before? Is this purely curiosity?

Bob, I agree with analogy, with some slight modifications.
First, with coyotes, as a specie they are neophobic (the fear of something new). So to the extent that an odor (or in your case, the attractive woman) is a new experience on the landscape, the coyote's first response is to leave, walk away, trot off or even run. Not because it has had a prior experience with the odor, but because it has NOT had a prior experience.
Second, in your analogy, grey fox are teenage males in the height of testosterone production. The go blundering in to check out whatever the odor is and the decide later if its something they actually want.
Third, bobcats are of the mindset that if they coyly wait near the bar, the good looking female will eventually come over and ask for a phone number . . . .

What little bait I use is fresh preserved with zero adds, If I feel it needs adds I add it at the set with lure. I get a lot more commitment the first time thru with fresh preserved bait and a lot less Opossums. I want my bait to taste good, castor, sac, and mink glands don't taste too good, don't ask LOL..
Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..

Not asking! Not to sound too naive but the adds I have seen over the years that say things like '' enticers added'' '' makes them slobber'' '' triggers'' or words used to describe how much a canine will want someone's bait are pretty much advertising in you guys opinions? I agree with the thought process of your above post Mr. Jameson.

Quote '' enticers added'' '' makes them slobber'' '' triggers'' Those things describe me before a good dinner on days when I am really hungry. See I still believe animals don't react too much differently then humans with many things. All those adjective's are accurate to a good degree IMO.
