You don't want to stall the animals behavior by giving them too much to sample. Subtle trace amounts in drops does the trick if they are responsive in nature to the material. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com

Dribbling a line of fish oil or vegetable oil mixed with fish oil from a travel way to our traps may not be bringing them in. Recently I spoke with a trapper whose trail cam showed the coon concentrated their time on the trailing scent and never got to the DP. Darned those cameras are revealing!! For those who use them, what do you think is happening? Are they good or are they actually pulling coon away from your sets? And finally, would we be better off putting some sort of calling lure a couple feet above the set to create a second scent line in the wind? Way over thinking it all. If you wanted to "trail" a coon to a trap, why not just set the trap where the "trail" is. In my opinion trailing scent traps more trappers than coon in a season. It is a distraction and coon don't need much to be distracted. LLL Isaiah 51:6 But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.
