Has anyone ever used, with success, tainted coyote meat for trapping coyotes? Years ago I used tainted fox meat on fox with success, but it was a very small trap line so not a lot of comparison to make. Thank you for any responses.

The brains well make a much better bait than anything mentioned

I've had better luck with fox meat over coyote meat.

But it gets cold enough they eat about anything ( bait station).


Let me sugar coat this

Yes sir,
Do you have a preference for a certain type of animal brains over another? I’ve seen many lure formulas including deer brains or sheep brains, and even brains of a burro. Just wondering, is one noticeably better than another? Or are brains brains?

I've used pig, deer and coyote. I can't tell any difference but haven't tested them side by side. From what I've read about brain material I'm under the impression brains are brains.

We’ll, I’ll give it a shot. I did save the brain, liver, and glands and ground them together I’ll give them a few weeks of tainting. Thanks for the ideas.

Are you using them as an addition to bait, as a stand alone, or in lure formulation? Aged or fresh?
Sorry for the hijack High-Desert, I just like to scoop up any crumbs I can find!

I've used them aged as an addition to a lure but the majority of time I preserve them fresh. Brains are very palatable to predators and are a very good base by themselves for a bait. They also have several qualities that make them a great base for a lure or an additive to a formulation. My understanding is brain material is mostly a fatty material that is highly digestible by predators unlike most other forms of fat. They break down very fast when aging and get rather watery and that is why I prefer them preserved fresh.

My son shot a buck a few days ago. I’m gonna have to go dig out the brains! Thank you very much for the tips!

Go to any local deer processor. They often have lots of heads where the antler plate was cut off leaving the brains exposed. They come out very easily.

I added horse brains to some of my baits and had good results.

Any way of preserving brain? It’s hot down here and we have ants. My biggest problem is owls and mice.

SB will do the trick. Run it through a blender or let it age for about a week and stir it up . It will turn a consistency of thin ketchup and will probably soak in to what ever you put it on at the set so mice and ants hopefully would steal it all.
