SaltyDog74 OP trapper S Joined: Jan 2023 Oklahoma	My question is i would like to try Dobbins' Bait Solution this year and my original thought process was to use deer meat however i do not want to wait until October to get a deer down to start trying to taint the meat. I would think i would be more successful starting now while its hot outside. I do have some wild pig quarters in the freezer that no one in my house is in a hurry to eat. I am curious if anyone has an opinion on feral pig meat for bait , again with the Dobbins' Bait Solution. If i was in Texas i would just give it a go because i am sure coyotes eat a fair amount of piglets down there, but we do not have many pigs in my neck of the woods in Oklahoma... Thoughts/ opinions?

I've used cheap whole chickens ground with bait solution. Also ask a few farms to see if they have a dead horse, cow, or sheep NYSTA, NTA, FTA, life member Erie county trappers assn.,life member Catt.county trappers

Since you know the sheriff, I would just ask if he could notify the deputies at the shift briefing meetings, that you need a deer, put your name and number on the board and have them call you when they see a fresh one. It should be no big deal for them. Keith

Here you would be fined for using deer meat as bait, as it is illegal to render any edible portion of a game animal unfit for human consumption, whether willfully or through negligence. If you know any ranchers or farmers ask around and see if anyone has an old/lame horse that needs put down. I’ve heard pork isn’t a good bait but I’ve never tried it. I’ve had some success with bobcat "I have two guns, one for each of ya."
