Hey y'all,
I recently harvested a couple of snapping turtles. I saved the livers and the yellow fat for a possible predator lure. Any recommendations on how to make a predator lure out of them? Thanks.

I like to sun render any fat.
If I was trying for the first time I would grind the liver fresh, mix with sun rendered fat and freeze in plastic jars.

Are you thinking a long range call lure?
I always thought rotten turtle was a great call smell.
The stuff us RANK!

I was thinking about a curiosity lure. But any idea is appreciated. I've not used snapping turtles for lure before.

When you finalize making that lure, you can call it "Slow Roller". Ha!

Let us know how it does...


Sit with warriors. The conversation is different.

I might just call it that. Thanks for the idea.

So far I've made a base of turtle juice and equal part crawfish oil. Early testing is promising. I'll know more when it's tested on the line.
