I probably have 15 partial bottles of lure from several different makers. They include gland, food curiosity and call lures. Anyone try dumping them all together? Will it work?

I used to. I've found though the cheapskate in me prefers to add a little glycerin to top off each bottle and stretch the lures out in their original form.

LDW,

Maybe try pouring about 3 partial bottles together into one to utilize.
You might want to be a bit careful with anything with a bunch of skunk as it'll dominate anything else though.
This way you come up with 3-5 new formulas to run with.
Might just be winners!

I have mixed my favorite call lure with aged glands before with good results.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I thought after reading the quest for a 1000 we would all quit using lure!

Hard to argue with Robert's results. I am going to try fresh bait this year, muskrat, beaver, squirrel, deer and rabbit. Will also give urine more of a chance. In the past I could'nt really see that it made much of a difference.

I know a trapper in NC who has only used a dirthole and urine for years. At the fur sale he always had one of the largest catches of red fox. He used fox urine and would give his incidental coyote to a friend. Now his secrets out to.
