Has anyone used deer hide scraps to shove down a dirt hole instead of using wool and if you did was the results favorable.

Never tried deer hide scraps. But sheep wool has a very strong odor and deer hide scraps don't .

I was thinking like using it to squirt lure on it and push into the hole instead of a stick for eye appeal. I have a endless supply of it and maybe selling it as another option besides wool.

I have never used sheep’s wool or deer hide in a dirt hole. I do use whole mice as a lure holder and eye appeal. I catch a lot of them at my camp every time I am up there. I freeze them in Ziploc bags and by the time the next trapping season rolls around I usually have several dozen. My supply runs out quickly during trapping season and then I have to switch back to using sticks as lure holders.

I put a dab of lure on the mouse somewhere and shove it down the hole.

Great Trick

I do the same as Lugnut!

I like a piece of antelope scrap.

I like to stake a piece of hide sometimes and put some lure or bait on or under it. Deer hide would work good I imagine

Wool attracts mice like crazy. Chew it up and scatter it from H-ll to breakfast.

The thing about sheep's wool Is It never goes bad. And I have a unlimited supply. And uncleaned wool has a very strong odor
and It's water proof and It doesn't freeze. But I have used pieces of beaver hide and that worked as eye appeal and a lure holder. So any type of hide or fur should work.

I haven’t trapped in years and now that I’m retired I’m thinking about trapping again. I do taxidermy on the side and have tanned scrap trimmings after I mount a deer head, I’m thinking a 2X2 square would probably work.
