Go down to the local mom and Pop restaurant have then save all there deep fryer grease and the all the scrapings from the grill. Mix them together. Now let stand In a hot area. I like to put the pail In the loft of my shop. But outside In the hot sun will work.
The light oils will rise to the top. skim off this oil. It can be used as a trailing scent or used on It's own at a set. The heavy grease with all meat scraps and the good smells will be left. This can be used In slap and go sets and smear sets rubbed on bridge walls rain won't wash It away and It won't freeze and it's free and It works. And It's eatable.
Iv'e dug holes and filled them with this concoction In pre baiting situations and those holes were completely dug out In fact It looked like a bomb went off. I caught a lot of critters off these pre bait areas. This wouldn't work with a lure,the lure would leach Into the ground and you couldn't afford the cost. And In most cases It wouldn't be palatable.

A lot of restaurants now recycle this grease. They have a separate steel bin outside their building that they fill up with the grease and scrapings, and once it's full, somebody comes by with a truck and collects it and recycles it.

back in the day, my brother in law had access to all the free grease like that, and we took buckets of it- never prebaited, but did use at the set. It works, but its been 20 years since I did so, I find lure quantively better.

We operate 38 restaurants in PA, and at this point it's hauled away for free. It's gone through cycles where the hauler paid us for it, then it was a wash, then we had to pay them, now it's back to being a wash.
The fryer oil comes in a heavy grade plastic jug at roughly 4 gallons. Point is if you know the operator they could save you a jug or two and if you show up on oil change day, just bring a funnel and pour from their container that they've drained into right into the jug they saved you.
Really shouldn't cost anybody anything. Even if where you are the operator is paid for this, it's pennies.

will that mix with fish oil making it not freeze as bad and make it more effective

And I suppose all the fry oil is different, too. Fish fry night oil would likely be better than french fry only oil.

If using fish and jack included, I mix in a little glycerene to keep from freezing.

stef used to make a procoon mix, that had either glycerene or glycol (stef?) to mix with fish oil, and that didn't separate when added to fish oil.

Are dogs attracted to Procoon? Like hunting dogs? Don't have a dog to test it on. Lots of hunters here.
