new to the flock Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I shot a yote at 40 yards yesterday over it. Was out deer hunting and had sprayed some on a deer scrape as for some reason the bucks like it during the rut. Took the yote with a .50 cal. black powder hawken saddle gun.

Paul223 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 a bit of advice, don't leave a half full bottle of the stinky stuff lying about, say on the back of your pickup, especially if your dogs likely to sniff it out carry it off and start chewing it, and carry the now leaking holed container into the pickup cab :blink: it's the wrong time of year to drive round with the windows wide open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new to the flock Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Just remember folks when using this in a hunting situation , you are using it as a curiosity and confidance scent. This means you want to place it in a container....film canister with holespunched in it stuffed with cotton works well...........where the wind can take the scent down to where you expect them to come from. If you are not sure there are any around you can heat it over a single burner stove so that it simmers. This concentrates the scent even more and sends it further......something we do with honey when hunting bears and apple juice when hunting deer. You can smell a honey burn for about a mile so just think how far a bear can smell it. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Outlaw Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Where I store it seems to have had some interest from "Charlie" but as suggested I have put it up nice and high and secure. When I recover from my back injury I am going to do exactly how its was suggested in the thread. And hopefully post some pics. The neighbours dogs seem to have taken a liking to it I keep it in a demi john with a wine making vent on it. It is a putrid smell though. Thanks for the tips NTTF Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTTF NTTF I made some about 4 months ago and keep it in a seald jar out in the greenhouse,I havnt used it for a while and it seems to have lost its pong a little, would it recharge if I heated some through again just before an outing? Or would it be ruined, have you tried this? Also I found the scent worked more efficiently using abit more in a baked bean can with holes punched in it without a lid, filled with cotton wool. I hung this about 2ft off the ground and had charlie on to it within 20/30mins on several occasions. D2D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2D The best way to store it is to put a small tub in the lid pushing it into the liquid this will allow any gas to escape. The best way to recharge it is just to wash a few hoof clipping and then drop them in. If you dont have any clipping you could try heating it to see if that helps or give it a good shake, as I did this with one bottle that had been sitting close to two years and wow did it pong then.

Dave-G Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Cheers NTTF, we thought we'd give this brew a try. I asked Fleabag to keep an eye out for something to boil up some hoof in and see what he produced. A few minutes with a hole saw and... we're steaming away - well under pressure with a liitle pressure vent in the pipe top Edited January 21, 2008 by Dave-G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2D It don't seem to pong much yet, when the hoof bits were cut up there was enough to maybe fill a cup, then 2 litres of boiling water helped speed things up a bit. Boiled for three hours. I was expecting the hoofs to really stink and did the cutting up with latex gloves. I guess the fox maybe smells something we don't? We'll be taking some out later this week to see how we get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the oil in the hoof that creates the pong, the trimmings dry out in a matter of hours and shrink, they need to be put in an airtight container asap until being boiled, I used a double handfull per 2pints water.it should stink if you have got it right.

Dave-G Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Aha! We never knew about that D2D and have no idea how long ago they were trimmed off. They were in a carrier bag when I got them... and I would say they were probably not fresh ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
