There has been a ton of rain here all this week. I set traps on Sunday. It rained for 2 days so I re lured. Now yesterday we got over an inch of rain should I re lured today everything is pipe sets

Good lures have quite a bit of staying power. I set on Sunday also. Didn't make any catches the first night but have everyday since, coons, fox, and skunk. I haven't put down any new lure yet.

I have not made any catches yet. I do only have 6 traps out though. I know the coyotes are there I have them on trail cam. And I've caught many in the past so I know I'm doing things right

I use mainly bait but I don’t add more unless I have a catch. I’ve gone back after multiple rains and snows to see dirtholes blown out. Their nose is amazing.

Took my Labrador retriever for a walk months after the season ended. There was a few feet of snow down and he still investigated every spot I had a dirt hole. I think we do more harm than good by luring too much. Especially with coyotes

You can't really over lure with quality lures and baits. If in doubt, I give it some more. Too little can work now and again. More outproduces a little most often. Ever notice how your line comes alive just after you "relure" the line?

I can't speak for any other lures and baits because I don't know what they have in them.
I've used MIlligans, Carmans, Blackies, in my 50 years of trapping and have never found these brands to suffer from "over luring."
All good quality in the ones we've used as changeups to our own.
Gonna try some of Bossmans this year as a changeup too.
We hear Dig'r is really working.

Give it to 'em.

I’m not familiar with the pipe set, is eye appeal an aspect of lure?

Interesting differences of opinion

If an animal really likes a lure or bait they can't get enough of it. if it only has a mild curiosity appeal to them then maybe that curiosity can be fulfilled from a distance if too much is used. That's my experience from testing formulations. Coyotes do have an amazing nose and have surprised me how long they can smell a good lure.

EVERY LURE MAKER is going to tell you to re-lure as often as possible. lol

Now Hobbie. You make me smile. Would I lie? LOL
We're selling goo this year like... well I can't explain it.

Covid time off work for trappers? (maybe)
Word of mouth after 36 years? (Ah not)
My ads were just so much better? (not)
We have no idea.
Just got an order Tuesday from a dealer usually orders a hundred bucks worth each fall.
Couple grand.
Maybe the "no" conventions this year has the biz funneled to a few of us who've "been around."
Donna and I have no idea.
Any idea why lure sales (for predators mostly) but even mink, raccoon, and beaver are ^^^^^^^?

It’s fun watching protesters looking around wondering which of them is stinking and what is the stink? lol

Not a hard theory to test is one want to know for sure

Yes Sir I like your first answer. That goes for people too if they like it they will come.......jk

Mark,you're a T-man rockstar,thats why.
All the trappers are here.

I well say a lot of top shelf attractants (single ingredients) for coyotes will cause a rolling response if too much is used especially at flat sets. So sometimes caution must be used for this purpose.

I live in pretty dry country, rain is almost never an issue. Around here if I lose confidence in the location before I lose confidence in the lure. When I trapped in Montana where there was more rain I would re lure after a week or so if we had significant rain. I think if a lure is faint it might grab a critters curiosity more, where a fresh lure will trigger an aggressive or territorial response. But heck I don’t know. In my opinion a good bait that a coyote wants to eat is the best thing. If you get them digging up your bait you pretty much got em, assuming your set is constructed well

I have one stick that I lured once obviously months ago, because I can't even remember... it was so long ago. ...at my trail camera set up. I wish I could remember what lure it was. Coon and fox and even possums still sniff it. That thing has been through every kind of weather. We can't even imagine how good their noses are. That being said I do re lure after heavy rain. I don't think you can overdo urine or gland, but skunk is a different story
