Using an exotic bait is better than a mouse based bait right?

Not necessarily. Depends what you are targeting.

To many variables to say yes or no to that question. Not sure what you are calling exotic. I make a mouse/rat base lure that does very good for me and and I make some other lures and baits from different bases that do very good for me.

I'd go with the mouse bait. But I guess I don't know how you define 'exotic.'

I hear bait made out of a tiger meat base will catch every coyote in the area.


If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

A good set location will make a mediocre bait or lure really shine!

Variety is not as popular in animals as much as with people in many cases, mouse is a common food I'd go with that.
