Please forgive me as I am very new to predator trapping. I just started trapping predators this year. I have used a couple different fox urines this year and have noticed that one had more of a skunk smell to and another that I used had no skunk smell to it at all. Is there a particular one that anyone prefers to use?
Thanks,
Ty

No need to ask for forgiveness, i remember asking myself the same question.... the fox urine that had more of a skunk odor had a higher sulfide content, myself...that would be the urine I would prefer to use... first for the old factory value and secondly more for a belief on my part than anything else, so take it for what its worth... and research it some yourself to reach your own opinion..
my partner and myself raised foxes for a little over a decade, kept them mostly meat fed throughout the year, as his wife has a taxidermy shop and the meat was free feed... being mostly meat fed all year long the sulfide content, although not as strong through out most of the year.... grew the closer to breeding season it got... I imagine other semi-chemicals were or are produced in the urine also up to the point of being... in actual heat for the female and for the male to be brought to the point to be able to produce sperm . apples and oranges... foxes and coyotes are not like dogs....the good lord gave foxes and coyotes a short period for a breeding season and trapping season runs into breeding season .... jim
