Im certain he sold gallons,and gallons to government trappers I bought (300) 1oz bottles at one time ,then another 150,and even more in lesser amounts. That would be my choice.

But my first was Hawbaker red 100 and it worked for mink too back in the fifties, as I found out later most canine lures work for mink......jk Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.

Considering before Bill Nelson popularized the multi ingredient “call” lures with funky names...lures were much simpler and used in conjunction with bait most often. Gland lures seemed to be the most popular before Nelson. I’ll throw another one in the mix for the more modern era...Shellfish Oil. I reckon a lot of this was sold. I would venture a guess that 80 percent of all lure ever sold had either “Hawbaker” or “Carman” on the label though. I could be totally full of it...but like I said a guess. ~ PTA Life #482 - FTA - NTA ~ https://tstrapline.com/ https://youtube.com/@toddstrohecker

RTT I don't consider it or any of the other oils as a lure. I'm sure they work as lure but I'm thinking more along the lines of a formulated mix of ingredients sold as a lure.

goldy trapper G Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 7,306 minnesota	Hawbakers LDC 600 would be a good guess. My grandpa put me onto that lure in the early 70's, along with Widow Maker 800. Like bermie said, there were a lot of trappers back in the 70's, using a lot of lure. I'm sure they sold a lot of beaver, coon, and muskrat #1 too, but probably more canine lures.
