dried blood is a good ingredient for various types of lures.

The possibilities are endless, all the time and money it takes to create a real good food lure would amaze most. I've played a bit with this very subject, added this and that but still not as good as what the professionals formulate. So far I have the base right LOL but they still won't dig to China to get at it..

from my limitied experience I keep coming back to sun rendered oils of various animals. They tend to be stead fast in there reactions towards them. I tend to utilze most of there desired food groups. Be it oils or meat mass, or liquids of completely rotted down flesh. As g-bus says skys the limit,Only thing slowing a guy down is their imagination or creativity! But man is it smelly enertainment

In late July and August, coyote droppings are full of persimmon seeds.
The trees will abort half their fruit during extreme dry periods and the coyotes know this, eating the green fruit as it falls.

( Have you ever eaten a green persimmon ? I tried it...once)


Persimmon odor at times, can be as attractive to coyotes, as it is raccoon.
I once had a man buying persimmon scented insect repellent from me to dump down a dirt hole set.
When I heard of this, I said "You don't want the scented repellent, you just want the persimmon odor !"
I sold him the straight persimmon scent and he trapped a lot of coyotes using it.
We later became good friends and trapped together in Oklahoma, which had a good many persimmon groves in that region.

I like using persimmons but the stinking deer wont leave it alone! At one set I had a doe bed down by the set waiting for me to leave! LOL Dont think deer wont paw out a dirt hole! And yes I have bit into a green persimmon. NASTY!!

Boone I got a quart of ground slightly tainted afterbirth that is a year old that is still in a gooey paste so I went ahead and ground 2 1/2 more gallons this year. I would sent you some Boone if you wanted to play with it. I have a quart and a half of ground packrat heads that is about equal parts fur bones brains and meat from the rats I sent to Bob that I thought I'd play with. I also have a quart of aged deer testicles, gallon of cultured eggs, a gallon each of fresh ground and aged liver, a gallon of aged bobcat meat,and about a gallon of ground salt cured fish. I bought two black flash trail cameras to help me test some. Thank all of you guys for your input. For a new guy it's kind of hard to pick a direction to go with the side odors (like a couple of you stated there are many directions to go)but I got started this afternoon and made 3 samples to try.

Never enough of either it seems. The most important is the time. It is flying by.

Do you have any recommendations on how to use mare afterbirth I have some that’s a week old and not certain to preserve it or rot it

Man it seems like light years ago when I started this thread. I'm not Andy but 2 best ways I've found for working it up is either let it rot down to liquid or letting it halfway dry out so you can cut it and grind it them add preservatives right away. If flies get to it while drying just freeze it for a few days to kill all the eggs

I shot a late season doe and she was already carrying
I saved her ambiotic fluid and added a little glycerin so it wouldn't freeze
It caught coyotes and fox.

Cool thread
