Always start small. You can always add a little more but would take a lot more meat to dilute if too much. With bait and lure making I've found out a little goes a long way

I don't have a bait with skunk so I can't help you. In my lures with skunk I go anywhere from 1/2 Oz to 1oz per gallon. And they are mild in the skunky department by some guys standards. I also add a fixative to my skunk essence to help keep it from fading as fast. Thanks. I have = Eye dropper full in 1 gallon right now. Caught a juvenile coyote with it today. First night catch in a = James Lucero style dirt hole. SO up to 1 oz to a gallon ? Just wanted = a little skunk in the muskrat to reach out to them. Cold weather here. And I'm putting in a few dirt holes

I am but a mere novice compared to many here; but I know enough to listen to Mr. Jameson when he speaks... No doubt! Just to late for me to listen --- when I have already = Skunked this gallon up ! I will leave the next 3 gallons alone. Like I said. Just wanted a = call bait. So tried something new on the new coyotes moving in

Have a friend that catches lots of coyotes. Year or two ago he was running a late season coyote line. He added skunk to his bait and ran it head to head against the unskunked bait. More coyotes caught on the skunky bait. Coyotes will always tell you what they like. Yep^^^ I add essence to ground beaver tails, ground deer stomachs, ground bobcat meat, etc. Coyotes work it very good. I mixed it more to save time than any other reason. Many dirthole sets only get a good smear of one of those skunky baits....then I'm on to the next location.
