Brains are fat. Wild animal predators all crave fat. Add some good fish oil. Get it from the fat in the abdomen of spoon bill or catfish. Sun rendered trout oil is real good too
PS i dont know if he has any on hand but Bob Jameson sent me some real nice trout oil
IMO pressed oil is about useless

Does all meat have to be ground?? Cant you just cut it up in small to medium pieces. It does if your using it as a base as the Op stated.

Pretty much every recipe calls to gut animals being ground for bait base. Muskrat, groundhogs, beaver.
The reason most of us do this is because it's always been understood that it's recommended. I get the bacteria etc considerations.
However when my urine foxes eat a muskrat or rabbit the first thing they do is rip the guts out and eat them.
So have you tried guts in grinding? Any consequences? Any observations regarding animals response to bair? Bruce, I've always wondered about this too. I've never ground the guts with the carcass, but have used about every organ in critters as bait. I'd cut out the big part of lower colon with the turds in it and maybe open stomach and dump contents then pitch the rest (minus the head) over in the grinder.

I have never added it to a bait but coyote stomach contents with no additives sure work good in a dirt hole

I'm guessing the stomach acids are a game changer compared to a normal base. Just speculation on my part. They will preserve, but never the way I want them. Kind of a sour end result.
