Salt works fairly well, glycerin may work a little better, but is costly. I make my baits with a fair amount of salt and then add a little glycerin when the temps really drop.

Dear Friend, a 50/50 mix of glycerin and 100 proof vodka. Regards

Thats alcohol abuse! Really though whats the real purpose or reason for wanting bait not to freeze in your hole. The bait is not drawing them there and once they have there nose near it I imagine they can smell it and know its down there regardless? Or I'm probably just missing something.

Not sure why bait not freezing is desired, I mean coyotes will definitely eat from a deer carcass that is frozen. I posed this question once to a friend, his answer what's more appetizing to you a thawed steak or a frozen one ! Made sense so vodka and glycerin it is for me !

The only reason I like my bait not to freeze is to be able to scoop out a chunk or spoon full without having to cut it with a knife or ax. I don't think a canine has any trouble smelling something frozen.

Other than ease of handling i certainely would think a unfrozen bait would allow for better scent than frozen
