I haven’t been out trapping for about five years and this year ran a small line for some early coyotes. Been out and wanted to see what everyone’s stinky bait they are using.

Thanks!

For what little I know, when I'm trapping hard I do about 80-100 yotes trapping and about the same calling/hunting. Do not settle on only 1 or 2 "favorite" lures. I'm all about gang setting 3-5 per set. That also means at least 2-3 different lures/baits. What one dog doesn't like, the next one might go crazy over it.

Dobbins, Hawbaker,O'Gorman's, & Lenon's are always in my bucket

My all time favorite is mink glands. If you have mink carcasses, you have the best bait in the country

I alternate between Mark June and Kansas Trapline Products' baits for the most part.

I’ve fired up the cats this week. I’ve got my go-to baits but I’m just looking for “what’s new” or other trapper’s go-to’s….

My father's secret bait

I like Kaatz bros Red Label. O Gormans Powder River too.

I've become a big fan of Bob Jameson's "Shooter". A liquid bait/lure that's applied out of a squirt bottle. Just a squirt down the dirthole on some sheeps wool and go. They do love it here. I have some favorites but that's become my Go-To that gets used the most now.

For a thick bait, I like Clete's Apple Road Bait, personally.

Don't forget good urine. I'd probably go with Jameson's on that as well. I'm sure there are other good urines, but there's some I wouldn't touch as well.

My two favs are grahams cat creek and keg creeks showtime.
I also carry a couple others like Nelson formula and chopped carp.
The previous comment about mink gland is also spot on.

… don’t use much bait … but chunked up fresh bobcat in dobbins bait solution has worked for me

I'm not a big bait user, at least until later winter. Two that i've had success with in the past were dunlaps soul taker and Southern snares spiked mice.

Powder River for yotes. A local used to make some here. His Beaver #4 was great. Jameson's MMO is pretty good also

I do a lot of bait and lure testing, there are a lot of good ones but the best response I have seen on camera is skunk River and Iowa River baits. But what already has been said what works great one place may not work good in another.

Randy nailed it about mink,the late Odon Corr's had a horse meat based spiked with mink musk,it was my best coyote bait hands down.Tuffy's from SD bought Odon's formula's pretty sure he's making that bait along with his couple of lures which do real well also for me,Crow Creek and C - 50,can't go wrong with Bob Jameson urine,Marty Smith Keg Creek urine also....Good luck

Beaver meat aged.

Good urine comes up often when discussing coyote bait, lure etc. Sounds like something I should be paying more attention to. So, how bad is bad urine? Is it just more diluted and less attractive at a set? Or, can bad urine be bad enough to actually cause avoidance from a set?

Walleye, it sure can cause avoidance. I don't think it's as much diluted as it is dirty. If feces is allowed in it , it will smell like a sewer. I purchased some from a well known company last year and when i smelled it i knew better but used it anyways. All bad. Not even possums would go near it, lol. I dumped it out and have decided to go urineless as i don't have anyone around me that has the good stuff.

Ogormans mt special, it's Even better than his powder river double solution

Apple Road is hard to beat in my neck of the woods.
