Muskrat meat bait

Does anyone have suggestions for a homemade predator bait made out of muskrat meat?

Fresh chunks in a dirt hole or preserved meat with a little beaver castor added.

I know this is an old thread and I don’t qualify as a kid, but I’m just trying to create some action in this forum. But I’ve tainted the meat before just to start creating an aroma, and then used some preservative available at any trap supply dealer and at dirt holes with a little bit of gland or mild call lure it works well.

Sodium Benzoate is what ya want to use to preserve baits. It can be bought at most trapper supply stores. Mix with fresh or tainted meats or fruits. Use about 2 tablespoons per pint. Let set a week to take full effect
