I know this question probably gets asked all the time, but if you had to pick one bait and one lure for coyote and fox trapping what would they be.

We don't have many fox. If I had to pick one bait right now it would be Graham's Cat Creek. It's produced everything for me here year after year. You'll get a wide variety of opinions for sure.

Deer meat or deer liver (if legal in your state or province). Favorite lure is a shot of quality red fox, bobcat or coyote urine.

2nd for grahams cat creek. Was my best producer for a few years now.
Close 2nd was keg creek showtime. Didn't use any lure.

Odon Corr's bait and Good URINE!!!

Careful! Tuffy explicitly told me that the baits are not intended to be used below ground level!!! They are formulated for grab & dies. I know this from not only Tuffy telling me this but from my grubstake testing last year.

Kansas Trapline Products
Flint hills red fox paste bait and Xfactor , Oklahoma suicide sauce lure

Good info I make 90 to 95% flat sets the only hole type set I use is a deep slide in trench set so the trap is 2 to 3" below the surface and the bait is 12 to 15" below the ground level.Caught a fair amount in those sets but like I said I'm mainly a flat set guys,thanks for sharing that Seldom always listen to what you have to say.

Thank you but I listened to what the scent maker told me and I don’t know what type of set(s) the thread-starter is intending to use with the info he’s ask for.

Hawbakers Wiley red lure and my father's secret fox and coyote bait.

Coyote = ground up deer meat/trimmings. Use fresh or tainted. Can put in dirthole. Use a good quality coyote urine.

Fox = ground beaver tail that is aged and making oil. Use a good quality red fox urine.

These baits are cost efficient (free) if you have access to deer and beaver.


Or...you can buy your bait from a reputable dealer and use their reccomended lure.

Your set location is much more important that any bait and lure you choose.

Deer or moose meat for bait and beaver castor lure.

I swear anything works for fox. I target cats only, but catch so many fox with my cat sets. Lenons Bobcat Super All Call works. Bacon grease works real well for gray fox too.

Hiawatha valley and Gusto

where I am the very best canine bait is moose butcher scraps,and lure of course is urine for foot traps.
You only need the bait for snaring.

Hiawatha and GHII

Hiawatha Valley and Violator 7.

Derricks 1080, Crows blood from DST, keg Creek 1-11 decoy, for food lures Gusto, Fox hollow GH11, cat man do, violated 7

Verdict is out on bait, but i did have several catches in ed schneiders die hard. I am quickly becoming a believer in carmens canine call lure tho.
