My wife and my mother-in-law just had their sheep sheared, so now ill have sheep wool to use this year.

Nice score I've caught reds with nothing but sheep's wool down the hole

Thats good to know, i mostly go after coyote's I'm hoping it will work the same way for them.

I have a big bag of it that I use.

Yote like sheep too

That's to the good stuff. The processed stuff has the lanolin removed which kills its attractiveness.

Was promised a bag of alpaca wool by a local farmer... Hasn't materialized and I'm not happy

Wool keeps the sent going unlike the ground where it goes in.

I went away from using wool . Mice were always pulling it out of the hole .

Nothing goes in a hole that can be gotten out easily for bedding material by rodents, birds pecking at it, or by hooking it with a toe nail. Stopped that routine many years ago. It definitely has some value but it can be a headache also.

Dig the #@$%^&* hole deeper !

Knowing how effective wool can be stinking like sheep I've often wondered if goat stink would be a draw. Does angora have the goat stink on it like raw wool has the sheep lanolin?

I've had better luck with q tips or cotton balls in my area, doesn't mean it won't work here though.

Pack rats love it.

Pack rats like just about anything that is not natural to their environment. They like to put these things into their huts for building material or just to show off to the the rest of them just how special they are.

In some areas of the West where I trapped they gave me fits taking my fabricated pan covers off my cat traps from my trail sets. Sometimes nightly. Some weren't so lucky tho.

What about wool off a sheep that died in the heat of summer,picked some up were one gave up the ghost and the coyote cleaned it up smells to the high heavens figured I'll give it a try this fall with out anything else see what becomes of it."

^^^^^^^ this similar to my experience with sheeps wool. I had the idea = to wrap it around the end of bamboo lure sticks. Hold lure better = worked great in heavy rain for this purpose. Caught 11 or 12 coyotes on 2 week job. Moved to next job. Had bout 50 of these pre made. Started setting them out with my flat sets. THEN. Desaster. Yep. Everyone of them got toted off. Or tore up. Or pulled apart. Even the birds. Got hold of them. So what did i learn???? Even though i only move 40 miles done the road. Wool. May not work here like somewhere esle

LT Grey, next year I should have a lot of it and i can send Ya some.
