How to make Soybean Meal

Short Term Soybean
8 cans of dry soybean meal
2 cans of flour
3 ozs flavor of choice
1 can of cream style corn
3-6 ozs of Karo Syrup (optional)

Measuring is done by using an empty, dry cream style corn can (regular serving size). Add soybean meal to a 2 1/2 gallon bucket. Add flour and mix thoroughly. You can substitute 1/2 pack of jello (flavor of choice) or use 3 ozs of R & W or Superior bait flavorings. Then add optional syrup along with the cream style corn. Put lid anad let set for 30 minutes. When you arrive at the lake, check the bait for consistency. Add more corn or water to arrive at the desired texture.

Long Term Soybean - Method 1
8 cans of dry soybean meal
2 cans of flour
3 ozs flavor of choice
1 bottle of Karo syrup

Mix above ingrediates as if making short term soybean. The syrup is the key. No water based products allowed in this one. Let mixture set over night for best results. 

Long Term Soybean - Method 2 (My Preferred Method)
8 cans of dry soybean meal
Deer Corn / dry cracked corn
Flavor and Amount of Choice

This one is fun. I use Deer corn because I can buy in bulk and it saves me money. Email me if you are interested in trying this as I have done it so long, I just know how much to use. I have not measured it in 3 years. Put the corn in a blender and grind it to a fine and medium size. Place corn in a larger container and wash 3-5 times. This removes the trash and corn husks so you know how just the beautiful yellow corn. Place corn in microwave safe dish, add water to go 1/2 inch above corn then add liquid flavor of choice. (up to 3 ozs) Place in microwave for 8-15 minutes depending on the power of your microwave. The water will be almost gone. Add corn to the dry soybean meal and stir with a spoon, Let set overnight. The next day check and add dry soybean to get the proper texture. If you keep bait in a cool place with a tight lid this bait will last up to 8 to 12 weeks. Do not refrigerate as you will loose texture. 

This is by far my favorite bait. The recipe's that I am listing are hard to come by on websites without purchasing them. Plus I do not want mine to get in the wrong hands. I will be glad to share with the class on an individual basis if anyone is interested. 

This recipe was used to catch the 27.9 pound buffalo in my opening post.
