Kaatz brothers Gold Label bait? I've never heard of a fox based bait before and I am curious about it.

$12, to be exact, lol.

I did end up ordering some along with another order but would still be curious to hear if anyone else has used it.

I haven’t used theirs but I have used fox based bait before. I don’t think there is anything special about it. Protein is just protein to a predator indiscriminately.

you can improve on straight meat

buying stuff from a dealer its good to remember you can buy catfish bait at walmart. it will catch a few fish. dealers number one goal is to sell their stuff. some stuff is lots better than others. even when bought from some of the big names

good fish oil, not pressed, will improve any meat.

Fox chunked up as bait is not very good here in the cold.Too lean.Dries out very quickly and loses smell.
A fox carcass will attract other fox in the fall,but is more of a lure than a bait.The ravens love it,and wolves of course will eat it.

You add some pure sun rendered Trout oil to any meat base and it will be greatly improved in attractiveness.

Tried it years ago, tainted fox; just so-so bait.
Caught lots of reds on cheap canned dog food in SE PA.
Beaver is by far my best bait.

I never use bait for for coyote or fox and I have trapped a lot of them. It's always interesting to smell the different baits and lure to see what the commercial guys use in it. If you are not using a lot of bait then it may be easier and fun to try different commercial baits. Try and make your own and see how it turns out. Like a chemistry experiment.

You’re kidding right? I don’t know about MS but here a skinned otter smells like cat food. lol

Fox aren’t the only predators here either.

I've tested a fair number of meats for bases, to say there's is no difference in attraction from one to the other is not true

Ok then catch anything on ground or cubed otter meat. No other ingredients, just otter. You like to do experiments, try it and see.

I’d bet degree of hunger and effort has more to do with selection than type.
