Hello
So, I want to learn how to make lures. I'm not asking for anyone's secret recipies. I just want to know how to produce the lure from the glands. If you guys don't feel comfortable posting your procedures please send me a PM.
So, any tips or info?
Thanks for any future posts and info.

A simple recipe for beginners is to throw some fox glands in a jar , cover with fox urine and let set for a year. It is simple, yet makes a darn good lure.
Wyshinski and Carman both have good lure making books available from most trap supply dealers.
Good luck!

Oh, ok. So, with the red fox glands in the jar, does it just dissolve eventually or does the scent just mix with the urine?
How do I mess with the castor glands? You can just be breif.
Thanks for the info!

A good fox and yote lure=mix equal parts of skunk fat meat and honey set out in the sun to render out works great but will get hard in cold weather.Still works good but hard to get out of the bottle.
For beaver grind up your Castor and mix glycol to make a smooth paste then add some cinnamon in it.

I'll take you up on the beaver, but the skunk... no. Sounds good, but I really do not want to mess with 'em when I don't have too, man.
Thanks for the tips though!

I used to feel the same way about the skunks. I learned how to handle them by watchin' Bob's method, which was very easy by the way, and it's nothing like you think. One of the easiest to process too.

That system is a money maker. I have people all the time call me to get a skunk out of their cage traps. People set these traps for rabbits and what ever never expecting to catch a skunk. Then bam.....pepe le peu. $50 for the removal and a show. They love to watch the poling method.....they think I'm nuts. They are also suprised at how little smell there is.

Skunk essence, beaver castor, rat glads, mink glands and tonquin musk all make up good lures and bait.

I believe it. Actually put in 1.50 for this booklet on furbearer parts and how to make lures. Problem is its from NY so it might take a while.

Yes you use a pole syringe. A very crude form would be to take a wooden dowel and cut a perfect X in one end. take a syringe froma farm store and a 16g needle (some use bigger, some use smaller) and cut off the thumb part of the plunger. This will make an X at the end of the plunger. Plug the FULL syringe into the end of the pole and have at it.

Wow.
You know, a friend from a town nearby knows a guy who always draws a crowd when he's giving one of those needles to a skunk. People aren't booing or anything, their curious apparently. Odd, eh?
