Default RE: Peanut Butter

A good way to use this bait and cut your costs is to buy the BIGGEST and CHEAPEST plastic jar of generic peanut butter you can get. Go to your spot and pick out a tree for this set-up. Unscrew the lid and screw the lid, to a tree or sapling about 18-24 inches off the ground. A 3" deck screww with a small washer and a large body washer should hold it well. Without the small washer on top of the large washer the screw will just pass through the big washer Then remove the foil seal from the jar of peanut butter and then screw the jar onto the lid on the tree.....Now take a sharp knife and cut a hole in the bottom of the plastiic jar. This will allow animals (lots will visit this) to lick, scoop, slurp and/or abscond with the peanut butter in the now horizontal jar. The larger the hole you cut, the faster the peanut butter will disapear. I have cut the entire width of the bottom off of a LARGE jar and had it last 4 days in an area with pretty high traffic. If you cut a hole as small as 2 1/2" in diameter you will keep them coming back for a long time cause they have to work pretty hard to "tongue" the peanut butter out.

I haven't found it to be a lot more effective than other forms of bating though...just another tool to use.
