Schultzy should chime in any time now. He baits as do I. I can legally use barrels for my bait. So I run 2 barrels at each set up. I used oats corn and used cooking grease for the base of my bait. Donuts, breads and meat/fish scraps were also used.
I've started collecting bait already. I've got pails full of grease in my garage. Last yr I used 70gal for 2 baits. This yr I wanna at least 4 baits so I'll need alot more. I also have a pail full of meat scraps and a pail of fish scraps..... I hope to have at least 4 pails of each come time to run baits. My hunting buddy and I bought oats last spring and got a good price so we bought an extra 1200lbs of it.
You'' have to tell us your allowed to do legally and then I think you'll get more help
