why does bait need to be thick? smear some on the roof of a dirthole or on a bone or on a corn stob or on a rock or on a stump. if its good bait stuff will sniff or dig no matter how thick it is.

The wife mentioned the same thing about the corn starch and after discussing it with her and the comments here, I think I may go with a food thickener that doesn’t have a flavor. Danny, I agree that lure or bait doesn’t need to be thick but in this case, if you saw the consistency I think you would agree that it needs tightened up a bit. I want something that I can slap on a piece of wool and poke down a dirt hole not pour in and that’s what I got. I’m not saying they don’t work, but I have not had much success with liquid baits.

Rick when thewild plums are ripe here the thickets have tons of little seed piles from droppings. Coon, coyotes, everything hits the plums when they are ripe. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Im quite fond of liquid baits they saturate into the soil.Making them impossible to remove! They will dig forever and never get to the source! The more they dig the stronger it gets! Try it as a liquid you might be pleasingly surprised.

the small leaved type of prickly pear in west ne is different than the big leaf common in the desert. the stickers fall off the fruit when its ripe. then everything eats them. deer cattle and coyotes. animals don't usually get thorns in them. no big leaves to dodge or even clumps of leaves

Anyone ever use pawpaws as a bait for critters? Always find the seeds in scats of coon, fox and coyote when the pawpaws are dropping. And no one mentioned adding castor to bait to give it a slightly sweet smell to a bait. I wouldn't have let the bait go that long of a taint myself, but then again I don't know what conditions he has in place either.

I’m not any sort of bait or lure maker. I have on occasion ground up beaver and scrap and mixed it with Dobbins Bait Solution. I added not-for-human-consumption honey to a gallon of it and have done well.
