Medicines Or Scent Baits

Categories: STEEL TRAPS AND THE ART OF TRAPPING.

These form one of the most important requisites of the trapper's

art. A trap baited simply with the food of the


required animal, may and often will be successful, but with the

addition of the trapper's medicine judicially applied, success

is almost a certainty. These scent baits are of various kinds,

some being almost universal in their usefulness, while others are

attractive only to some particular species of animal. We give a

few of the recipes of the most valued preparations used by trappers

throughout the land. The application and use of each is fully described

in its proper place hereafter.
