What would be the best animal(s) & type of set to use the carcasses of these 2 for bait?


Ya can't miss fur if yur traps are out somewhere.

Only thing that ate or hauled off my marten carcasses were wolves and ravens.


Just doing what I want now.

I take the skunk and mink and chop them up together then run thru a grinder 2x this i place in a clean vented bucket to allow the meats to age and sour a bit (about 3 weeks in warmer weather) the top will turn an off grey/greenish
once you stir it up and mix the top with the pinkish meat from underneath it will give you a sweet kind of funky twang odor its then i stabilize with sodium benzoate and methyl paraben and give it at least a week to allow it to preserve the meat
to this you could add quill as well as other oils and glands we use this paste bait for canines and for late season coon or grey fox i will add a couple of cups of razberry jam
