Thanks Wanna Be is was a great trip. But with any trapping job it had its highs and lows. I am home now 8 pm Drove 16 hrs strait threw only stopped to gas up!

Definitely one of the few post I've enjoyed reading

LT GREY. Glad you enjoyed it. Just got off phone with MR James Lucero about 10 mins ago. We were talking about a new set that will be going in his next book. I really hope he finishes his new book soon. I can't wait to read it!

Has anyone used Lucero's lures in the cold and wet of the north? I've noticed that some lures work better in some climates than others, but have never tried Lucero's lures.

I will buy it when it is available

Bearcat2. I have as most people know used Lucero's lures exclusively for past 4 years. Have averaged 300 plus coyotes a year And 406 coyotes last year. I can't tell you they will work in extreme cold. Because about 15 degrees is the coldest I have caught coyotes in. I'm a warm weather guy. BUT in rain these lures work!!!! Was on a coyote contract job for 14 days. It rain or was wet 12 of those days And still caught plenty of coyotes with James Lucero's lure

Cannot say that I used them lately. Back when Mr. Lucero came out with the books and lures, I used his lures and baits quite a bit. I really liked them a lot for a few years.
Had good luck on coyotes with them. When he stopped advertising for some reason I guessed he was retired.
I liked the articles that had been written about him. Sounded like a down to earth guy. Loved his coyote book.

Maine has about as crappy of weather to trap in as one can imagine. It is really a crap show most of the season. Most years, too much rain, too hot too late or too cold to early, freezing rain, sleet, snow etc., thaw/freeze, thaw/ freeze, then just rock hard freeze. It is awesome.

I have a picture of a rather large Bobcat caught with his bait and lures. I am no great photographer but the picture came out good. It was late season, about 6 to 8 inches of snow on the ground, and snowing when I snapped the picture. The picture came out pretty cool.

The set had been made for coyotes and was a very well blended baited flat set. Nothing visual. The set proper was about 20 yards from the wood line which is where the cats typically pass.

BT. I feel the same way. Put like everything else James Lucero does. He wants everything to be perfect. Tejas did a great job with the labels on the new lure bottles. So I am sure he will be helping Mr Lucero with the pictures in the book and so on ! Having the book be perfect in every way is Mr Lucero's main goal

Great thread, I took the advice and called for the book. Mr. Lucero was great and seemed very pleased to visit, especially after I told him I had twin 11 year old boys that were learning to trap. He was quick with a couple tips and some advice and is no doubt a wealth of knowledge. I'm looking forward to getting the book and flyer to order some lure. Thanks again for the great thread.

Enjoyed his last book written well looking forward to the next.

I'll be lookin to buy it.

Enjoyed this thread!

Does Mr Lucero take credit cards over the phone? I want to try his lure here in PA. Is there a price sheet available?

Interested myself. Would live to see a pic of the price list flyer

No. He takes money orders or check. Not set up for credit card sales. Phone # 1 575 585 6314

Last flyer i have says lures run $8 oz

He has new flyers now. Dont think he has 1 0z bottles anymore. Just 2 oz and 4 oz. I dont know price of 2 oz but 4oz is 25 dollars a bottle. If you call him , he will send you a flyer. He sent out about 100 or so to guys that order from him regularly. So just call him. You will enjoy talking to him!

I got his books for my birthday last week and he included a flyer. On it he has lure cost at 15$ for 2 oz, and 25$ for 4 oz. Shipping is 10$ for under 50$, 50$-100$ is 15$ shipping and over 100$ order shipping is 23$. He has JL#1, Coyotero, and Winter Wolf listed on this flyer. If i was tech savvy enough to post pictures on this sight I would send a photo of the flyer, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Thanks Obaro!
