Ya know, it seems like every trapping article emphasizes how lure isn't a magic bullet. And while that's true, it can seem pretty much like magic. I was trying to help an Amish woman with an animal getting into her chickens once and the neighbor kid, also Amish, had a couple traps set beside the coop and had been checking them for awhile with no success. I smeared a little lure ( Musky musk by Cronk) on the coop in front of the traps, and the next day he had a skunk and a coon. *Edit to add: the Amish kid decided to buy some lure after this.) It's actually pretty amazing how that little speck of animal glands works. It's simple to us, because we have access to lots of decent lures, but imagine what a revelation it was to the first guys who collected glands and tried them.

I dont use lure anymore cause I found that if i place it too high,,I only have two chances to catch a four legged critter,,,,one chance to catch a two legged critter and no chance whatsoever to catch a critter with no legs at all!.

Have always used lure.

Ya lost me there!

It tracks give it more thought.

Joke from a seperate thread.LOL,,sorry I lost ya there.

That doesn't look like any lure I ever used. Might be good for tinctures.
