So after last year I'm changing baits and lures. A guy that was making the stuff I used changed his recipe and I'm not happy about it so I'm going a diffrent route and I bought a bunch of diffrent stuff at the nta and have been ordering some others. What am I missing that you recommend trying for coyote fox and bobcats? I have gusto,(This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) fire, fox frenzy, windwalker, coyote frenzy, widowmaker, 2 rueswatts baits rueswatts bobcat proshot and his cat call, back breaker, fox cream, lone wolf, some of cagingbobcats.com lead in, his cat glad and skunky lure, lennons coyote all call, powder river, and some apple road. I'm running a big line this year and plan on narrowing all of these down to what I decide that I like the best. What's your number 1 go to bait and number 1 go to lure? I know nothing is magic.

You need some dobbins lures

I try a new lure or two every year to see what works for me on my line nothing wrong with looking for a new change up to try.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Pleased with both. This preseason i got keg creek. Excited for that one. With my predators I go with alot of different stuff. But the others I keep it very simple. And usually just use one. Coon is caverns moonshine. Beaver is Dobbins back breaker. Muskrat is Lennons. And for mink I got about 3 or 4 that are still in trail phase. Lol. Sure I will find one for them too

New lures/baits/urines need tested before season in a location were you can see the reaction. Confidents in your attractants is a big deal! Testing gives you a base line to build on in season or not.
Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..

Location! Number one important factor on top of lure and bait. This right here! if the wind isn't blowing in the direction of the critter.. it ain't gonna work.. period. Now if your seeing prints in mud or snow somewhere close around the set but they aren't committing.. then there might be a problem

Ive had very good luck with Hiawatha valley. Also baits from keg creek and Mr Graham. Not as expensive as some of the others mentioned either. Had good luck making my own too. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I had my best results last year with Backwater Skunk River bait followed by their Slims Best bait.
