I use a home made bait that probably really a lure after i spice it up and pee.

I only use lure and urine for both, no bait ever. I feel that using bait attracts too many non-target species like coon and possum.
Eh...wot?

Have pretty much always just used just lure for both. Did use some skunk for bait way back when fox were we worth something. I have also put a little tained venison out for coyotes.

I use a home made bait that probably really a lure after i spice it up and pee. Danny, I ordered a bucket of preserved bobcat meat and added some “ingredients” as well. I mixed several jars with different ingredients. While all caught, one stood out more. Even my son asked what was in a particular jar because it caught more for him than others. I guess my bait is actually a lure too.

I use a home made bait that probably really a lure after i spice it up and pee. I'd say most prepared bait would be the same way. Maybe some more than others. I use both baits and lures sometimes both at a set and sometimes one or the other at a set. Both have there advantages and disadvantages. If I had to chose only one I'd not hesitate to chose a good prepared bait for coyotes. I believe the coyotes can somewhat perceive the volume at a set and volume has its advantages. This is in general there's always exceptions and unique situations.

What is your opinion of using only lure for fox or only bait for coyote? If so what do you use? My opinion is this. A trapper would miss out on catching alot of fox and coyote! 1 lure or 1 bait for either canine is not a wise move. As a lure or bait, whether be it food,curiosity or territorial will create a different response from day to day with both fox and coyote. Not to mention habituating the animals to the attractors that you have chosen. For me? Personally, it is an impossible question to answer. Sorry MinkGuy.

Deer or beaver liver and fox urine for me. I mix it up with a few good lures but if I could only go with one bait or lure it would be this.
