Have you tried mixing lures with Pethro? It's consistency is like Vaseline and seems to hold odors well thru rainy weather. It's available thru MTP


Common sense catches alot of fur..
Pay homage to all you harvest..

Would a water soluble lure holder work ? You know like over the counter medication gel caps. Enough rain would disintegrate the gel cap and release the scent. Maybe use traditional lures on set day and if rain is in the forecast, add a sealed gel cap containing lure as it gets wet. Different idea, but if it worked you would cut down on the need to relure after a beaver rain. Surely someone has thought of this .
Maybe check out Dixie pearls, by down south trappers I believe

I thought TMAD was trimethylammonium decanoic acid

I see the fly bait contains Trimethylamine and eggs. I do know the fly bait stinks.

I am no longer concerned with my lure in the rain. After what Bob Jameson said. I got to thinking. That I am worried for no reason. One of the coyotes I caught on a drag at a set took 12 days. Then on day 21 I picked up all my lure sticks. Smelled it after 21 days. SO if i can smell it. The coyote can. My worrying Was a waste of time

I used these for a long time. Chopsticks. Bamboo. Cut them. Fray the end with a hammer. And then use pencil sharpener to make point

YES. Even after 35 years of trapping coyote. I let double and worry creep into my mind. NOTHING was wrong with. My lure. Just thought about all the rain. I was it carrying the scent far enough. Plus. With the 15 day for cas looking like this I got concern for no reason.

Bob Jameson quoted the line from Bear Claw Chris Lapp in "Jeremiah Johnson." I just quoted the next line in the same scene. No offense intended.

No problem Laz. I get. Over concerned at times. And start thinking = Can I build a better mouse trap??? Sometimes I lay in bed and can sleep because of the rain and low coyote population is working me to death to keep catching coyotes like i am expected too
