How would one begin to mix up some Fatty Acid Scent c2-c8?

Do I need to buy all the various acids? Then experiment with mixing them? Then fix them with glycerine or mineral oil?

Just curious.

I haven't done a ton of research but I thought they only sold one FAS formulation. Im guessing from your post Centex they sell several different ones?
Ive got a paper written by Sherm Blom and he references FAS but speaks as there is only one available.

In one of sherms articles he gives the contact info for the depot. Just Google ahpis depot Pocatello and it will pop up. You will need to call them.

All predators make a living upon what nature provides them. That can be wild or domestic game and the other fruits,vegetables and nuts that are seasonally available.

They aren't always very picky as to which they consume.

Developing lures and baits from those known available materials will produce good results. The addition of other ingredients to enhance those basic elements are what can make a meaningful difference in a product.

Also a key point to remember at times, is going back to a singular basic familiar odor can be the trick in some circumstances. Particularly on some hard pressed animals.

I worked at a hydro carbon storage facility when I was younger we had mercaptan on hand for odorizing propane. That stuff has some amazing properties. I always wanted to get my hands on some for lure testing. A friend once told me he would get me some but never did. Talk about an odor that naturally absorbs into everything and lasts forever.

That would be interesting to see how it would work as a canine attractant. From your description it sounds like it would work and probably elicit a rolling response.

Maybe good for making a draw station quickly on a property. I bet the smell would go a long way. May not be great at a set. Something to think about.
