It will probably be fine. I would be more worried about trappers eating it before the coyotes hit it to be honest.

Save some of the grease to fry your eggs and Taters with. Coyotes want a full Breakfast on a Cold Morning. Don't forget the Biscuits and Gravy. They like that too.
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

Hey guys maybe someone can help me out here. Made some bacon bait for coyote trapping this fall. I used 5 lbs of bacon. With all the grease added it’s pretty soupy. Should I add more bacon or is it supposed to be like this. What all is in this "bacon bait".......exactly? I put some dry cat food in a soup can, then poured hot bacon grease in to cover it.....then after it setup, dropped that in a dirt hole under a stump. Then put a game camera on it to see what would show up. Got 2 feral cats I'd never seen before, skunks, possum, coon and a red fox......and deer in the background watching the show. No coyotes......even tho they are around....often yapping no more than a few hundred yards away. But this was only 50 yards from my back door. So bacon grease might work, but seems it would attract a lot of trash to go with any coyotes.

I used bacon grease down a dirt hole for years trapping grey fox down south. Never caught a single coyote, al5hough I was catching them all around the same areas useing mostly beaver. Just FYI
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

That’s a waste of bacon!! Fry bacon, eat bacon, save grease from bacon to make bait. bacon grease isn't' a waste product it is just the start to a Gumbo or gravy or save it for all sorts of uses frying foods.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Yup, that’s the recipe. I tweaked mine by doubling the castor and added 2 oz of Old Buck’s Death mink lure and 1 pint of Forget’s Champion. I found scorching the bacon ends gave it a little extra lift that I liked. It spanked a lot of baits during testing and pushed Widowmaker right off the line with a better catch ratio.

Should I add more bacon or is it supposed to be like this. All you need is the grease nothing added to catch coyotes. We puse it all yhe time with success on foxes and coyotes. When ya warm it a little drizzle it into thw hole,it actually will sink in the diet and they'll spend alot nore time at your set digging the hole out trying to get that taste and itll up your catch percentage. You could have eaten the bacon yourself.lol
IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !
