Thanks

I have. It's excellent. In my book, one of the top 5-6 ingredients. Government trappers in my state used to mix brains with castor as a getter bait.

My Tri-Nitro has a base of hog brains. Works well...

Yes it does.

Do you age the brains?

It’s surprisingly easy to extract deer brains. I thought it’d be tougher. I rotted down a pint one year and added to a rattlesnake base. It has an attraction.

Brains are one of my favorite bases.

So easy to work with!

Mush em up with a tater masher, done!
