Guest Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I think salty foods would be best since most herbivorous or omnivorous animals crave salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mizzousquatchn Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Peanut Butter and Honeysuckle blooms Thank you sir, I always appreciate your advice!!! I will try this here in Mark Twain Forest. Honeysuckle is native to this part of the country. And peanut butter always seems to do great when baiting all types of wild life. Especialy deer, from my experiences. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FuriousGeorge Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) I only take advise from the people with the highest bigfoot bait station success rate. Not including the people tied at zero. Edited September 11, 2010 by FuriousGeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) I noticed salty things in a post above. Depends on where you are. Deep into the woods, I agree salt would be an attractor but down near a shoreline, pretty much everything tastes salty. If this were the case a bowl of fresh water without any food. I've done this and have most of the animals and birds coming in to that water bowl, twice a day. edited for dumb spelling Edited September 11, 2010 by BobTo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best place to put the bait is at eye level for most Bigfoot, about 6 1/2 to 7 feet high, place it on a strong piece of pole or wire away from any branches that can support racoons or possusms, otherwise, they will be the ones going after your bait. The MABRC has footage of a racoon pulling up a fish on a string that was used for a baiting station, and take off running with it. Of course he didn't make it to the end of the branch before the string caught up with him and pulled him back. You have to always take other wildlife into account when setting up bait stations. Also, do not touch the food yourself, if it has a wrapper, use the wrapper like a glove to avoid getting your scent on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TooRisky Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Oh Dude! problem with this is... my fat butt would eat it before i left it out! Great idea. Who or what could turn kfc down!!!!! I am totaly serious about this... it attracts all kinds of animals to include deer who eat the heck out of it... I suspect it is the seasoninng, herbs and salt but what ever it is, it brings in a lot of critters and with that has to bring in Ol' Biggie... Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Perhaps a nice fresh roadkill deer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Most of the time in Oklahoma, deer kill goes untouched and will rot alongside the road. I don't think Bigfoot, unless its one that is sick or old, will venture close enough to a road to grab one. Too many other food sources to feed off.
