ok on rendering down skunk fat does it need to be sunrendered of can it be rendered using a slow cooker ??
this would be for selling as lure bases

I don't know the answer but that has to stink...

Sunrendered is best so as not to cook or alter the odor or properties too much.

Ohbuyer it has almost no smell at all. Rags it doesn't even have to be in the sun. I just let the oil come off in my fur shed. It's heated but never really very warm in there in the winter. The oil still comes off.

ok thanks guys my son has around 1 1/2 gallons of fat so far LOL he is nailing the skunks hard

You let him sleep in the house, Rags??

u need any more, ive been hammerin em

LOL bullet..... he has his own house , so he sleeps there

Man, I wish I had my own house... Mom doesn't like when I get sprayed, she has me do a bunch of outside work.

So how far does skunk fat reduce down? How much oil will you get out of a gallon of fat?

no idea renny this is the first year for this

Not a big market at all for skunk oil. By itself it doesn't have much attraction to predators IMO. It doesn't get real thick though in cold weather. Makes a good patch grease and traditional lube for springs and stuff for muzzle loaders shooting patched balls. It takes the place of oil in the barrel also if you want to shoot in the old way. It is a good solvent for some stuff when your making lure.
