I tried a couple of promising formulas in the field this past year, but the experts, the canines, said they didn't care that much for it. So, this year I'm offering Dave Edward's best selling lure as the promotional lure. I formulated his Cherry Red from the formula in one of his journals. With any canine lure order I receive, I will enclose a free one ounce bottle of Cherry Red. This includes Backbreaker, since it is used for canines, and it will also include an order with Bait Solution in it.

Looks like I will have to place an order now

Just placed my order of Backbreaker. May have added coon candy but still count right? Ha ha

Thanks for doing promotions like this Paul, you make some darn fine lures!

Yes sir, the Backbreaker qualifies you. Thanks for the compliment.

Reckon I ordered the 2 jars of Skunky Backbreaker a week or two too early! LOL

Good luck with the promo Paul!

The problem was that I couldn't offer it until it was ready. Was there much odor to the box of skunky Backbreaker? I pack it in dirt hoping it will contain the odor. Most times it does a pretty good job, but occasionally a box will have an odor to it.

I have a drop or two of YOUR Cherry Red from 2012 or 2013 on this deal. That caught a fox nearly every hole I put it on. Wish you would run that as a regular.

Nah, that wasn't my Cherry Red. It was the same Cherry Red from Dave Edwards that I'm doing this time. I ran this same promotional deal back then.

Can a larger jar of the promotion lure be purchased?

I can’t speak for insanelupus but the skunky Backbreaker I recently received had absolutely no odor to the package. I think I might need to order some more so I can get the promotional lure.

Sorry, but I need to keep the promotion as is. Its a very good lure, and folks would soon run me out of it if I offered special purchases of larger quantities. If I made another batch now, it wouldn't be ready until after trapping season.

Understood, thank you.

I thought it smelled fine, but the post office labeled it "oderous" and the wife said she could smell it.

I used the dirt as backing and call lure after I opened it!

I write ODOROUS on the box to let the post office folks know that it may stink. They might be less likely to think something is broken or rotting inside.

Let me know how the dirt as backing works out. I hadn't thought of that.

LOL will do. Seemed like the thing to do at the time!

Just sent my order. Needed some more skunky Backbreaker. Can't wait to try the promo lure too.

How long is the promotion Mr Dobbins? Place my order today but just was wondering.

It will go until I run out of the batch of Cherry Red. I've given out about a third of the batch so far.

Submitted my order! I’m looking forward to trying the Cherry Red lure.

Along with the canine select and all call lures!

Paul, the skunk dirt worked fine. I had set the pan back a little cause of a few shy coyotes and missed him, but the set was worked.

Good thing I had a turd set doctored with a little of your Coyote #1 nearby. 27.5 lb. Male, biggest this season. I love it when a plan comes together!

LOL, maybe a new lure in the works - SKUNK DIRT -

Thanks for the update on the dirt, and congrats on that coyote!

Lol, I was thinking more of the promotional aspect:

When you order your Skunky Backbreaker you will receive a free bag of Skunk Dirt. Store the new lure in it until time for use and when ready your free batch of Skunk Dirt is ready for use as a call lure and backing. Order now, operators are standing by!

Paul, just ordered some Backbreaker and Perfect. Will try some of your Cherry Red here in FL.

Will

Paul

Received my Skunky Backbreaker in the mail. The scent was strong even though it was wrapped in dirt. I knew what it was when I opened the mailbox. I am sure my mail lady will have a comment. LOL

Sometimes there's an odor and sometimes there isn't. I do them all the same and can't figure out why some do and some don't. I hope she doesn't hate you too bad.

Paul, the Skunk Dirt connected today. The dirt was scattered to the four winds, but I relured with Skunky Backbreaker.

Could the some do and done don't smell issue be residual odor on the hands wrapping the dirt?

Congrats! I'm thinking the some do and some don't is more than likely attributable to the moisture content of the dirt. When the dirt has the right amount of moisture, it compacts better. Just a theory.

Could be. My last urine order I had to vacuum pack and store in Ziplocs until use, but it really cut down the odor.

The set this last yote was caught in had been worked the night I caught the big male Saturday. Last year I had a female near here who would check my sets out, mark near by, but never would commit the last few inches. So I moved the pan back this year quite a bit on this set. I may have to start bedding two traps.

Saturday, whatever worked that dirt hole committed and threw dirt all over the pan and I cleaned up the set some. My guess is these two were associated somehow, but that she's the one last year that kept sneaking in on my sets and leaving. She won't try that trick anymore!

It was interesting, she was 22.4 lbs. The female was caught 30 ft from where the male was caught. Both had bite marks on them, but hers were scabbing over. She had a litter of pups this year, and had two K9 teeth broke off near the gum line, with lots of yellowing and tarter build up. It took half an hour at least to get all the cuckle burrs out of her. Very matted but the hide improved dramatically when they were removed.

I'll be curious to see what I pick up on this property now that she is gone. The male was 27.5 lbs and a female from a few weeks ago was 26 lbs on this property. None had much fat on them and the first two had good clean teeth.

I'm hoping a few of her youngsters might come through carelessly.

But on the next order, the Skunk Dirt will certainly be used as backing again. Thanks!

Alrighty Paul, I'm in for another order. Looking forward to trying the Cherry Red too, along with some of the other 1 ouncers I ordered! Thanks.

I'm in for some Skunky Backbreaker. My post office lady complains when I order coffee - I cant wait for her reaction on this.

I live in a rural area. The post office complains when i receve chicken peeps. They REALLY complain when the honey bees arrive! They call me around 6:30 because they wont send them out in the mail truck.

No complaints about trapping lure yet.

fast shipping got mine and cant wat t o try nice consistency should br great when the beaver start howling this spring (carnivorous beaver)

I ordered some lures today, will i be receiving some CHerry red?

You sure will. Your order will be shipped tomorrow.
Thank you for your order.

Skunk dirt works great, caught this matt jones looking coyote in such today, lol.

Trying to figure out my order Boss.Not sure what to go with the back breaker or skunk back breaker looking to tie down some coyotes. Tell me what to order .. you could PM me if you like and tell me what to order lol

I just placed my order. I'm sure hoping there is a bottle of Cherry Red left for me. Thanks for doing this great promotion.

There'll be a bottle of cherry red in your order.
Thanks - Paul

Dang, Beaver Plus ain't on the list of acceptable lures, LOL

It is now.

Yay! Can't wait to try the new lure. I'll post if I catch anything with it.

My sister sent in an order last week, but it must have gotten lost in the mail. If you'll just send me her free bottle of lure, I'll forward it on and then you won't have to send the free lure when her order arrives. Thanks in advance.

Hal

I don't recall sending any to a woman. Does she have a man's name?

Hey Paul. How do I order? I usually pick up back Breaker at Cumberlands, but could use some more for upcoming spring beaver season. Let me know and i will place an order today

Here ya go - https://trapperman.com/catalog.html

You're never gonna make much of a trapper if you can read any better than that. I said her order got lost in the mail, you didn't get it. In fact, she put on the bottom of the order blank "If this order gets lost in the mail, just send my free lure to Hal" -- signed Francis.

got my order in!

Mr. Dobbins I received my order yesterday and will be laying steel tomorrow. Thanks for the great promotion.

Cherry Red was used on this set that took this Montana Badger.

Just placed another order. Have not connected yet but I've seen prints around my set with the cherry red. Which is more then I can say for any of my other sets I have out.

I’m also placing another order. I caught this old girl on cherry red lure.

I'm never going to Delaware again. Them foxes shoot lasers out their hips and butts.

Yeah you have to really watch your six around here.

Picked up a Red this morning on the Cherry Red. Thanks again Mr. Dobbins.

Jim, Rob and Corkman, Dave would be grinning from ear to ear! Thank you for your posts.

Paul I got my order today, thanks for sending the free bottle and I really appreciate that you sent me Hal's sisters bottle. The note about not wanting her to give it to Hal was priceless. Brian.

I just placed an order. Is the cherry red a gland lure, food, curiosity or ,,,,,?

Rickey

Its a curiosity lure.

Thank you for the order.

Anyone catching coyotes with it?

Thank you Paul. Got my order and gonna try the "skunk dirt".

My order was waiting for me as well Paul.

The Klondike Call Lure was just a little open so it was the first thing I noticed!!

Thanks again for the Cherry Red.

Just an update on the Cherry Red. I caught 3 Reds in the same set in 6 days. That's a first for me. Thanks again Mr. Dobbins. Any chance of this becoming a permanent item in your catalog?

No, I can't do that. It was a Dave Edward's lure. He had the Buffalo Creek line of lures. After he died, his daughter said that he told her that he wanted Buffalo Creek to die when he did. So, I may make a batch of one of his lures once in awhile for a promotional deal, but I won't market any of them.

I didn't realize. It has been amazing for me. I have a game camera on this set and had a forth red last night, but must have been a toe catch he only stayed in the trap for 2 minutes and got away. The promotional thing you do in Mr. Edward's memory says a lot for the kind of man you are. Thanks Again.

I got my order today, and am excited to give it a try tomorrow. Out of curiosity how are y'all using the cherry red with so much success. Just a couple drops on some wool in a dirt hole or cubby?

I was taught that curiosity lures do best in a hole. They should be applied to something in the hole, and not applied to the dirt in the hole.

Ok, thanks, I'll throw out a couple new sets today, and report back with any success.

I placed an order yesterday for a few lures and some bait solution. Do you ship a free sample to all people placing orders or is it just TM members? The reason for my question is, I just placed the order and did not see anything for a free sample lure when checking out.

Thanks

A free bottle goes in each box. Yours had one in it also. If I recall correctly, you ordered Dig'r, RdFx and Bait Solution.

Yes sir. U got it right.That is my order. Thank you for the reply to my question.

I had awesome success with the Dobbins beaver meat bait in the hole, with a rock as my backing and the Cherry Red just under the lip of the rock. Caught 3 reds and had one more pull out in a weeks time. I have never had Reds show that much attention to my sets.

I realize we are now in 2018 but was wondering if you are out of the promotion yet?

I have five or six bottles of it left.

Awesome...I'll be putting in for a pint of Backbreaker among others.

Thanks for the quick ship and the extra!
