I made my own lure it seamed to work best for me never got males with the lure nothing but females but i don,t consider my lure that good but it was good enough for my area i trapped in, all the commercial lures i tried never worked out in my area the only lure that worked out for the males was a urine posts with a Gland lure on it, for the most part i really think it's what works for your area that your trapping every area works different even when it's right accross the street from where your trapping.

If you're using bait or lure AND urine, you're using two lures.

Commercial baits and lures are already many smells mixed into one.



I guess I dont see why its any debate at all other than someone just needing something to argue about.


Someone mentioned "happy feet"? Throw as many different smells at them as needed to get their feet excited and moving. It will catch you more critters!

If you use three different lures at a set and a coyote has a bad experience such as a wobbly trap or a trap sprung in his face, doesn't that mean that he's now educated to three different lures in your arsenal instead of one?

Can you tell me what was in all three?


What percentage of lures and baits have castor, rat glands, mink glands, skunk, etc etc?

Fact is, a LOT of commercial smells have a lot of the same smells in them just to different degrees.


So if you ding up a coyote with something that has castor, rat, mink, or skunk smells in it, he’s liable to be leery of anything with those smells in them in the future.

If that theory worked I’d bait with nothing but turkeys and would bed them cocksided and where they’d only close 3/4 of the way so they’d get out if they got caught. Unfortunately they’d keep on killing turkeys.
I think y’all are giving way too much credit to these critters. They aren’t mythical creatures.

I know some really good trappers in your state that seldom use lure due to too many possums and 'coon.
They prefer to use blind sets on coyotes.

Two odors close to one another, where the animal walks up to sniff one odor , then another.
One left, one right. Trap or traps in the middle.
Often used with two mouse sized holes or slightly bigger
