Used a lot of Russ's Lure back in the day. Especially his Pro's Choice. You could catch anything on that stuff. I haven't bought any since Russ stopped making it himself. My question is: If any of you still use it currently, is it still as effective, consistent year to year, since someone new now makes it? I WILL buy a 4 oz bottle to check it myself but just maybe I won't depending on the answers I get here. TIA


One more time!

I have used coon lure for years myself but can't help with using new. I have a stash bought years ago that with fur prices will probably last me .

If he's not making it, who is? Thought I read not too long ago that he was still making it?

His K-9 Call lure was my all time favorite coyote lure. I still have a little of the original lure. The new stuff I don't think is as good, but will still catch fur.

I’ve killed hundreds of coyotes with canine call!
