Re: Coyote glands ???? « Result #3 Yesterday at 10:38am »
No I harvest the anal's from both but can only get the girly thing from the girls...lol
When a animal defecates they use there anal gland to coat the feces with a layer of anal gland excretion. That excretion is what make the feces unique and smell like that specific animal kind of like a fingerprint. That's the reason I do not like to mix the other glands with the sex and anal's. The other glands can be effective but I think they are more effective separate. Watch a dog smell where another dog has walked. it is smelling the paw pad glands and has some interest. Now watch a dog smell the feces of another dog. There interest is much greater and they will investigate the dropping much longer than the other..

Re: LIVER « Result #5 Yesterday at 9:09am »
I find weasels live every where, I catch alot in frozen colverts, around tall grass areas. Brush piles and rock piles are good too, old home sites, farm yards with feed sheads or old car bodies, any where that will hold mice. I catch alot along creeks too. once the snow is on the ground I just set on tracks, and most times it will pay off in a few days. I think though frozen colverts are my best performin set over all.

Re: IN-HOUSE MUSK « Result #12 on Sept 3, 2010, 7:02pm »
By in-house, that's what I meant man-made, imitation, artificial, synthetic. I have heard of xylol musk and ketone musk tinctures being combined to create a certain musk like odor; any combination of imitation or synthetic musks or combo of animal glands/musk and imitation or synthetic musks that work well together for fox and or coyotes. Any recipes out there?
Re: IN-HOUSE MUSK « Result #15 on Sept 3, 2010, 6:42pm »
I was under the understanding that musks today were formulated in a chemical lab? Some are classified as explosives. Thats where Dobbins got the name for his new lure Tri-Nitro..
Re: Coyote glands ???? « Result #17 on Sept 3, 2010, 6:03pm »
It censored it to "girl thingys" lol
On galls I only use around one gal per pint of glands. The gall does not attract coyotes it contains a fluid in it that breaks down fat and helps speed up the rot and makes the rotting process more effective..
Re: Coyote glands ???? « Result #18 on Sept 3, 2010, 5:57pm »
I only use the anals and girl thingys with a small amount of fat from the anal area. You want to use some gall to assist in breaking down the glands and the fat. I use very little or no liver to my base as I want my coyote gland to smell like a dogs butt. You can also collect hock glands and paw pad glands as well as neck glands to make another gland lure but I never mix the two as I feel mixing all the later glands to the sex and anal glands only dilutes it and acts as a filler. I also collect the bladders and bladder urine to top off gland mixture prior to rotting it down..
Re: Coon Gland Lure « Result #19 on Sept 3, 2010, 5:51pm »
Coon glands from boar coon can be used to formulate a eviction fluid used in ADC trapping to evict sow coons and her young from dwellings.. They also prove very effective for late season coon trapping. I save the anal's, girl thingy's, bladders w/ urine. when I have enough glands "about 1 gallon" I add 1 cup of fat from around the anal's and a gall or two to help break down the mixture I use very little or no liver when cutting out my gall's..
Re: PEEK-A-BOO « Result #26 on Sept 1, 2010, 4:19pm »
Thanks, it was actually a mink set that it blundered into; it happens a lot with coon and muskrats when using baited pocket sets for mink early in the season.
Re: DRYING PEAT MOSS « Result #27 on Sept 1, 2010, 4:15pm »
It's more work this way, but if I try some trapping in late Dec. or Jan., I want to make sure that it's completely dry to avoid freezing. Probably wouldn't matter as much for early season trapping.

That look like a good idea, I cheeted last year and just put my bucket beside the wood stove for a few nights with the lid open alittle and it dryed it out good.

Re: bluefish coon bait « Result #30 on Aug 31, 2010, 9:53pm »
Other then that it sounds good. Also If i were you i would make a couple different batches and taint some of the meat and preserve and leave some fresh and preserve! Thats the bait and lure maker in me talking! You have to experiment!!
bluefish coon bait « Result #33 on Aug 31, 2010, 9:36pm »
My family just went to the Jersey Shore for some bluefishing. We had a great time and caught 27 blues between 10 and 15 lbs. After eating our fill for the past three days and giving plenty away to family and friends, I decided to try a new coon bait. I ground up the fillets and added methyl paraben to preserve the fish. The ground fish is in the fridge and in a few days I'm gonna add 2 oz. anise oil, 1 oz. cherry oil, 1 cup pressed fish oil, and one cup glycerine for antifreeze per gallon of fish. Any thoughts from you guys would be greatly appreciated. I just thought that the bluefish would make good bait because it is an oily, and stronger smelling fish.
Re: lil griz/duke DP trap bait? « Result #36 on Aug 30, 2010, 5:34pm »
It takes both hands to set the thing. Springs seem very strong. I like them and I have not been a Duke fan before. I don't think the coons can tell what kind of trap the thing is. I just know they can not get there hand out of the thing.
Here's good mink set just below a beaver dam where the water is shallow and mink work the area. Just a rock cubby topped with leaves/vegetation; some feathers would add visual appeal if you can use them.
Re: lil griz/duke DP trap bait? « Result #41 on Aug 29, 2010, 8:42pm »
Nice pics, I am told they are very similar to the grizz, but with a better staking system, but lighter springs. I guess only time will tell how well they hold up.
Re: COON HUNTING « Result #42 on Aug 29, 2010, 5:42pm »
Not really a hunting pic, but interesting due to it's age 1918, and animals involved. My grandmother seated far side in what I believe is an armistice day parade celebrating the end of WWI.
Re: lil griz/duke DP trap bait? « Result #43 on Aug 29, 2010, 3:46pm »
I just got some of the traps about 3 weeks ago. Had a farmer having some coon in the corn problem's, he said I could trap for fox later in the season if I could help him out with these coons. I had to say yes.
I just use some parts of crayfish down the hole and then poured some of my home made fish juice on top.
First time I have ever bought any Dukes they seem to work fine.
DIRT HOLE TOOL « Result #44 on Aug 29, 2010, 11:41am »
Not actually home-made, but works good when close to the vehicle for quick dirt holes. Makes a 8-10" deep x 3" wide hole in seconds. You can sometimes find them at fleemarkets for around $10.
Re: TRACK ID « Result #48 on Aug 29, 2010, 11:16am »
Yep, a medium bobcat track. That is the back foot nearer the top of the pick and front foot lower in pic. Also you can tell which front foot of a bobcat it is by the front toes; in this case the arrow points to the larger of the front toe pads marking it as his/her left front foot.
