I took some bacon grease, some used fryer oil and mixed it 50/50 then added just a tiny bit of anise oil. I made 4oz total, the amount of anise oil I added was very little just three good size drops. a little anise goes a long way. I picked through the jugs of grease I had left from Bear baiting and chose the one that smelled the worst. I made two dirt holes, put a small amount in each. I guess what I learned is, use what you've got and make it stink. “A Man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.” “The key of joy is disobedience.”

Or you can add a small amount of ground bacon to your sausage to make it stretch. I used to take a smooth rod concrete stake and make a wobble hole about a foot deep and fill it with oil that had a trace of ground bacon in it. In July and August, the result was so-so, but starting about September 15 (here in my country), it gained more interest until the middle of October, then each hole looked like a bomb had gone off. And that was just from greys and coyotes (I don't have any possum, skunks or coons in my area).

I do still plan to make your bait, but had a few free minutes after prepping a few traps the other night and thought I would try making something with what I had. We dont have any possums in my area either and I think I've pretty well depleted the skunks and coons around for awhile. If you don't mind me asking, What country are you from? “A Man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.” “The key of joy is disobedience.”
