I’ve noticed some changes in lure quality or maybe lure consistency might be closer to what I’m seeing/hearing. A couple weeks ago a fan favorite people had noticed changes in it, lighter in color was a thing folks noticed and the strength was in question also. One thing might of influenced the other. After thinking about that I check an unopened bottle that I thought was way lighter in color when I got it. It has since darkened some closer to the original appearance so was it not aged properly or a change in the ingredients that impacted it?

I try one or two different lures every year this year it was a couple 4 ounce cat lures I’ve never tried yet. So I finally get the jar open man it was tough with these beat up old hands. It’s 5 above and I can’t get a decent amount to stay on a stick it just dripped right off my fear is it would fall off before I get it in the cubby landing where I don’t want it. Normally I’d drop a cotton ball in that type of lure but I did not have my bag with me it’s a 1 set walk in set.

I read up on the lure discrimination and it’s listed as a thick paste that kind of seemed odd thick was not a term I’d use this stuff would pour out of a Boston round bottle no problem thick I think not. So is it quality ingredient issues, lack of availability of ingredients, rushed bottling less aging after mixing or cost cutting measures?

Thinking about either adding cotton balls to the wide mouth jar to pluck out, putting it in a Boston round bottle and pouring it out at the sets like a liquid lure or adding skunk grease to it.

Any thoughts on the best way to go?

I really think us Pennsylvanian trappers should collectively unit & make a push for the RBG 55 & 40 to be legalized for use in weasel box sets. There is no non game animal (pets) small enough to trip these traps which is the reason for conibears needing to be in waterways. They can also mandate that they must be used in self-manfuacturered cubby’s (boxes) with an opening no larger than the trap jaw size. Thoughts?
