Mr. Otis has a point. I realize it is not fashionable any more but that is one of the reasons a lot of old timers like to prebait an area. Lot to be learned doing that.

Don't think you can just rely on your memory to analyze what worked and didn't work. Most people are not that gifted. Besides, we tend to be our own worst enemies in this regard; subjective biases and the human capacity for self-deception too easily distort the bigger picture. We're just not naturally attuned to looking at the things in such broader terms.


I have a different method. I just use one bait & one type of urine. I generally carry a second type of bait and some lure. Sometimes my fresh set after a catch will get something different if I feel it is needed, mostly not needed. It is location location location,

My comments were in the context of the Graves and Boddicker study. For those with established lines, productive locations year after year, and time constraints, messing around with data collection isn’t practical or necessary. But for those just starting out, keeping track of such details (more systematically) can help with the learning curve. It’s also useful for those who like to test different lures season after season; I like to crunch numbers.

Yes the lure use to have more of a rotted fish smell with a skunk undertone. It is still somewhat the same but definitely different smelling than it was in the 80s. Might be my nose getting older though. Lol
Definitely one of the best lures for coyote. They love to bite and or roll on it.
