Dobbin's Lures Wins Lure Test - 11/12/19 06:23 PM
I did some small-scale, limited lure testing on part of my short line last season and just tallied the results.
Dobbin's Mississippi Special was used at 6 sets and caught 15 red fox.
Carmin's Red Fox Gland was used at 7 sets and caught 9 red fox.
Caven's Minnesota Red was used at 3 sets and caught 6 red fox.
Dobbin's GL 40 was used at 2 sets and caught 5 red fox.
Dobbins K9 03 was used at 2 sets and caught 2 red fox.
Hawbaker's Red Fox Gland 100 was used at 2 sets and caught 2 red fox.
Location 9:
A faint tractor trail along the edge of an alfalfa field with a 12-15' wide wooded, brushy steep bank separating it from a corn field below it. This used to be a good location until I started trapping Location 12 a mile to the west. I now catch them before they get here.
Location 10:
A pumpkin patch with three tractor lanes running through it, bordered by other crop fields.
Location 12:
A well-used tractor trail connecting two hard roads with hay fields on either side.
Location 13;
A long tractor trail connecting two hard roads. Woods on one side, a couple hundred acres of CRP on the other side.
Very unscientific and small scale but I thought the results were interesting. Gonna get me some more of that Mississippi Special!
