varget Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 more for u to try Rotten Eggs Lure The best time to make this recipe is in late October or early November when fly season and hot weather are over. Break approximately four dozen eggs into a gallon jar, allowing room at the top for expansion. Discard the shells. Stir the eggs until they are well beaten. Cover with a flat lid, but do not tighten. Let set for a couple of months. Rotten eggs can be used by themselves as a lure or can be mixed with other ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deer Man Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I think he means an air lock that you use for home brew? Lets gas out for expansion but seals any smells in due to the small P Trap or U bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I've asked a mate who is a blacksmith to save some hoof trimmings for me,when you have boiled it and fermented it does it stay as a liquid or does it set like a jelly? also has it got a shelf life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year once you have boiled it you may aswell try it as the sun is not strong enough to brew it further. Just put thr boiled trimming and liquid in a bottle to store.

Cyber Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 sounds really good!! My Girlfriend has 2 horses so i should be able to get hold of some clippings relatively easily. Does this only work for foxes though or is there anything else it would lure?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new to the flock Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Cyber, It works on all canines fox coyote, wolves, and dogs. It also works as a really good mock scrape when deer are in rut, so if you Munty hunt it should attract bucks as if I am correct they breed year round. I am not sure on this though as I have never had the oppertunity to try it on them. I do know it brings in some very large whitetailed bucks over here.

Cyber Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks for that, I'm not geared up to shoot fox, deer etc so I will give it a miss. If anyone needs any hoof trimmings then give me an PM me and I will try my hardest. I should be able to get hold of some within the next couple of weeks. If you sewnd postage I will happily send them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Cyber You may wish to reconsider your offer to post. I have a customer who is a farrier, and I asked him for some trimmings a week or so before Christmas. He called round for a refill the other day with half a bin bag full; with a warning to put them in a sealed bucket quick!! Apparently dogs go daft for them, eat them and then throw up repeatedly. The trimmings do honk, quite what they smell like post brewing can only beggar belief. Do you need a full chemical suit, or do you risk ruining your greens oe cammo if any gets splashed. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Okay to use this bait, after it is brewed you can use an atomizer...sray bottle...to spray a shrub or grass area where you want to shoot, or you can place it onto some cotton balls in a plastic ziplock bag and set them out where you want to shoot. BE WARNED DO NOT SPILL IT ON YOURSELF AS YOU WILL HAVE TO WEAR IT OFF This is my number one bait for trapping or shooting nuicance fox and coyotes. An added bonus it it also attracts bucks when the deer come into rut, and has been the demise of many a large mature buck. Ok, Here goes: Go to your local stables and ask for some hoof trimming. You may need to time it with a visit from the ferrier, or have them saved for you. If you know a ferrier ask him to keep some for you. The frog or center of the hoof is the best, but any part of the hoof will work. Take the hooves and cut or break into 1 to 2 inches pieces. Then take these pieces and an old pan or bucket, using a fish cooker and doing this outside, cover the hooves with water and begin boiling, making sure to keep the hooves covered with at least 1 inch of water. Boil as long as you like, but 1 to 2 hours is plenty. Let the hooves and water cool, then place in sometype of container... I use the 1 gallon plastic jugs that restraunts get there mayonases in. Pour the hooves and water into your container and fill to almost the top with clean fresh water. Set your container in full sun for as long as you want. It should turn black in a few days. The longer it sets the better it gets. I usually make up a batch after the last cold spell of the year and leave it setting out until the first cold spell of the next year... Make sure to set your jug where dogs can't get to it. Once you have some made, just add water to the jar once you take some out for use.... If you do not have an area that you can boil it first, you can start it from scratch in the jug in the sun but it takes a little longer to get going. If boiled first you can start to use it in about 2 to 3 weeks, if just sun brewed it takes about 6 weeks. The photo shows my brew jar. You will notice a small plastic hose coming from the lid this is to let off gasses so that the jar does not explode. The plastic tubing keeps debris and flies from getting into the brew contaminating it. When brewing keep this up high, such as on a shed roof away from dogs. NTTF Hi this jar you are useing is this what you use after it has been boiled and if so doesnt the smell leak out of the breather tube.. Hopeing to do some within the next 2 weeks and want to get every thing ready. The photo hasnt come up in this post its the one in your first post...
