I know ALOT of the old time trappers used the tar out of bacon grease,, but does anyone still use it?
Just curious if mixing bacon grease with castor would work for late winter, picky breeding raccoon.

I use bacon grease and cavern’s moonshine mix kept in a Tupperware container, and use a wooden popsicle stick to place a little on each rim of DP trap. Been doing this for years

I save all my bacon grease by pouring into a cup or a drain with aluminum foil in it. I fold up the foil after hardening and it goes in the freezer. Works great as a paste smear on concrete culvert walls, rubbing on a pole on a running pole set, or by itself in a dirt hole or pocket. Many uses. Can't beat the price.

My #1 opossum producer last season.
Mixed with egg shells.

I have a good amount for old Corn Dog and some mini doughnut grease (separate or mixed) throughout the summer. If anyone is interested.
