Marten here eat a lot of huckleberries in the fall. I would like to make a huckleberry based lure to use on them. If you just make jelly, or smash them up, they don't put off as much odor as they do just sitting on the bush in the sun. Any ideas on how to extract the most odor from them?

This is a pure guess but ethanol in cold weather would likely get more odor molecules airborne.

Those Wild blueberries don't have much smell. I would be curious to hear how it works out.

Many berries ferment after they fall off the bush/tree. I would think adding a small amount of vodka or Everclear to your smashed berries would give you an enhanced odor.

Maple furanone? I have not seen this product anywhere. How does one obtain it?
