I’m trying to make a strong smelling late season bait. I’ve let the meat base rot until it’s rancid but once I add the SB for preservative within a week or so it’s very mellowed out. How can I keep the strong smell for those -10°f nights?
Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

I take tainted over rotten bait any day put out larger baits and let them sit out for a while then set the area once the traffic gets heavy.

Last few seasons I've had great success with fresh cut up baits and a shot of fox or coyote pee. For change ups I use commercial baits but bulk of late winter catches have been off dirtholes with chopped up deer parts, muskrat, beaver, or carp. Pieces about size of golf ball or so. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I always thought the gas produced was methane? Whatever it is I prefer it escapes. Seems like I read somewhere that tainted meat is similar to cooked meat in that it is easier to digest. So I figure if I am going after a food attractant a little taint will make it more appealing much like cooked meat. I think its better after all that gas is gone. Instead of hoping the wind is blowing the right direction I TRY to get it where the animal will be even without scents. Dont underestimate the value of some good oil either. Waddel won the coyote trapping contest with leftover fast food chicken bones for bait and urine. Deep fried left over chicken bones.

The rotten egg smell is added as a safety precaution. At the natural gas substations outside of town, the mercaptan is added before it goes to the community.
