Alcohol added to a base should not deter an animal. The alcohol will evaporate away and give the scent some "lift" as Paul says about castor lure. I've added tinctures in alcohol to my homemade canine baits with no ill effects. If the critter is digging for your bait in a dirthole and not caught by the time he's eating it and tasting it you should be changing your trap placement IMO

an ounce will spice up a quart of ground meat pretty good

Thanks guys and I really appreciate the replies with actual ratios. I figured a canine would be attracted to a lower concentration than what is reality. I also have no idea what the Bill Nelson ratio of castor, mink and muskrat glands is. I'm honestly happy with my two favorite commercial baits, but just would like to make and use one I've made. then 8 tablespoons of ground beaver castor, 20 drops of pure skunk essence,. It helps to add 4 ounces of ground muskrat or mink glands. This is in a gallon of bait solution
