this is an odd question i hope someone will help me with

ive had some bobcat meat laid out to taint and the dog pulled the cover off so i got flies on it and it looks like they laid eggs. is the meat ruined or can i freeze it to kill the eggs thanks guys

if'n ya put it in the freezer ya better let the ol' lady know before she makes ya supper the following night.....

put it in the freezer for a couple of days, that will kill the fly eggs, then set out and finish to the point of taint you prefer, then give a dusting of borax, refreeze until your ready to use it.

thank you 4k and buckrage she is just happy i finally did somethin with the bobcat and got the wholething out of the freezer even if it is returning in peices ha

Ok, Im curious. What are you tainting and why?.

So you use bobcat as bobcat bait?

There are several lure/bait manufacturers that use bobcat as bait and several of them work very well. But any meat that's not to greasy will make a decent to good trap bait. I knew an old gvm't trapper that used javelina and was a pretty good lion and coyote trapper. Location has more to do with it than the bait, but bait does hold their interest.

yes taint the bobcat meat till it is grey on outside pink on inside salt it leave it out over night put it in a canning jar 3/4 way full and fill just above meat with water crack lid every day till it quits producing gas and you got some universal bait add some beaver castor for extra attractant

Sounds nasty and stinky.

gets the kittys though

Very interesting

I have never heard of that. I guess in my head, any meat would work. Just never thought about using one cat to get another.

Wouldn't it be easier to just set out a can of Fancy Feast?

tried and i get nothing but coons haha it sounds good in theory

Nasty! Sounds like somthing my grandfather used to catch catfish... and yet we enjoyed frying those thigs up!

Im dead serious when i say Beaver Tail is one of the best bobcat baits.

im making a beaver chunk bait as soon as its cold enough

I think you will like it compared to the rottin meat you can leave the hyde on so its just real user friendly and works well

Beaver meat is the best bobcat bait!!! IMO

I see a niche market opening up for beaver flavored Fancy Feast

HAHA
