I'm sure this has been done with sodium benzoate. Anyone ever do this? Thinking about fresh deer blood this fall. Thoughts?

That might be the best way. What i was thinking was to add a little good lure to the blood in a squirt bottle to add a couple different smells to the set after a time with no action or a new set. Was thinking it might work good on deer hair or sheep's wool down a hole. I do the same with urine but want something different for a change up. Anyone ever do this?

What do they do with the blood you donate for transfusions ? I don't think they add anything to It. It seems to me they just keep It In something like refrigerator.

That's a good point beav, it would be nice to be able to use the blood fresh without any additives. That could be added to Laz's thread about deer and cattle neutral, but i have no idea if it would be effective but shouldn't be overly attractive to large non targets . Not sure how long blood stays good being refrigerated but don't think it would work for me. I'm thinking blood will stay good longer if sealed from oxygen, if not to me anyway think it would coagulate pretty fast and be at best hard to work with.
So the question is would preserving keep it somewhat fresh and workable from a squeeze bottle for a few months? I'm looking fast and easy.

I bet you could find someone In your area that Is killing beef or hogs and get all the blood you need then just freeze It In smaller containers. Then when you need it just thaw out one at a time. you could just put It In quart sized freezer bags.

I do have that book but forgot about what his thoughts were. Thanks
Sounds like something would have to be added to the blood to have the best and most reaction. As far as i know there are only 2 natural fluids a person can use to add smells to a set in a squeeze bottle. I like to be able to give quick squirt down the hole and be on my way.
