I've been picking up some wood chuck at nuisance jobs and want to put up some fox bait. I read an article last fall where the author talked about cutting them up and putting them in mason jars with glycerin and burring them. I was wondering how much glycerin to use on a quart jar's worth and how long to bury the jars and how deep. Any info or other ingredients that should be added would be greatly appreciated. Thanks MarkG

I've used 'chucks in the past w/good results. I cut the pieces into small chunks about the size walnuts althoughyou can grind it for a paste type bait as well. I will age it a few days until it starts to turn gray on the outside then stir and then age a couple more days before adding the sodium benzonite to stop the aging at that point. I like a fresher bait rather than a rank one...less rolling at the set w/K9s in my opinion. You can also add different glands, musks, etc. to the bait to give it added appeal as well.

Dear Friend, Fill your jars no more than 2/3's full. Id recomend using rain water instead of glycerin, which can be added after your tainting is completed. About 1~1/2 cups of water to a quart of meat. Regards papabear
