I been using it for a couple years. Had great luck with it in the spring on a problem coyote call. Ran it last winter and liked it. Good stuff.

It's been selling better than anticipated. I'm in talks with a trapper to get me more muskrat meat this next spring to use in the formulation. It's been a fun product, that's for sure.

I brought it to market in late 2018, although because of catalog cycles, we might call it early 2019. I developed it as a type of bait/lure to use on my grubstakes, Q-tip, or T-bone flat sets whether it was cold or hot weather = 365.
It's caught quite a few bobcats for me on these sets also. A bonus on my dog line! In fact, the first animal I ever caught on it was a bobbie. I had a deer rib tip sticking up 4 inches guarded with a trap, Some Flat365 smeared on the rib is all. And.... hello Tommie.
Blessings, Mark

Take It out of the jar and put It In your jerky shooter. Makes for an easy application at your sets. Especially pipe sets and dirt holes.

^^^^^ I consider it another tool in the tool box. Although it's formulated with muskrat meat (the chunks in it), I consider it a lure due to the ingredients in it. Sometimes as a lure maker we're hard pressed to call it simply a bait.... or is it a lure? In my mind, because this Flat365 contains a "meat" it could be called bait, but then with the added goodies, it could also be a straight up lure also. We don't have a bait/lure category, but there are products that could honestly be called bait-lure. Flat365 is one of these IMO.
I have only done predator control contracts the past 5 years. I'm NEVER the 1st trapper hired. We wish we were. The coyotes are always on edge when we trap predator control and the fact that these high fence ranches in various states are "enclosed" makes for tough sledding every time. You start catching coyotes and in about 4 days it's "game on." I'm always, always, always thinking outside the cookie cutter fur trapping mindset box. I developed Flat365 as something different to all the gland lure, meat baits and standard stuff we use. I needed something very natural and appealing = deadly on 'em.
Plus the muskrat meat gives it a reddish tint! It actually stands out a bit on a Flat set object which is a plus.
We used more last year than we did the year before. That's usually the trend any of us follow. It works well >>>>> we use more. It doesn't work well>>>>>> we use less.
Blessings, Mark

Well crap now I might have to try it. What’s your best way of using it Mark? TM MD, I use it all sorts of ways on Flat sets. I take my bait fork, get a bit of 365 on it, and "butter" up whatever my flat set lure holder is. T-bone, Q-tip (love this one!), end of a log where I want the coyote's nose to be, etc. Just think when you place it, "Where do I want that nose?" Do not be afraid of using it on bobcats either, as I've taken quite a few on it the last two years. I don't use many Zagman pipe dream sets, but it'd bet it'd be the ticket in those, but you wouldn't be packing the pipe full of bait with 365. I'd just dribble some into the pipe for flavoring and a bit of pretty color attraction. Blessings, Mark

I have been having a lot of consistency with Muskrat based lures and baits. when I was young I was taught the way Waddell traps just quartering or fifths really a rat. I make my stuff a little different now but it seems to perform very consistent. Some other baits work well in specific instances but rat based stuff seem to just always hold its own.
Anyways if you are thinking Mark June products I would say that I have never found a product of his that doesnt work as described. He also will jump on here and talk about it if you have issues or questions. I havent tried this one yet as I make my own stuff but my guess would be it is good.

Not that I have seen. The muskrat is NOT tainted. All fresh. None of my products use tainted anything. Not that taint doesn't work, but non-targets are extremely bothersome on a production coyote line. Anything is possible, but I don't use anything that illicits a rolling response. I don't use tainted meat for that reason. Haven't since the early 1990's.
Blessings, Mark
