Had a brain storm yesterday morning as I was fleshing some Grey fox LOADED with fat. If the fat was rendered down and mixed with the glands of its own kind, would the fat be a good base for a fox lure?

Thanks Paul. I remember as I stood there fleshing that the fat had a really loud foxy smell to it. That's what got me to wondering about it.

I've heard of people taking fox carcasses, gut them, put them in a sealed bucket, then bury the bucket. The bucket is dug up in a year or so and everything except the bones on the fox carcass turns into a liquidy substance. Man that is just plain rough!

Besides just using the fat, I was planning to use all the glands . Thought if I rendered down the fat and ground the glands up, let it set for a yr or 2, added preservative, it just might, MAYBE, be useful to all the possoum trappers if nothing else. lol

Yeppers, the longer a rotted down carcass ages after one year it mellows out alot. Been there done that. I have a about a gallon left of a five gallon rotted liver from 30 years ago. DOESNT SMELL anything like it the first year it was rotting..... WHEW... i still remember that first year, now it is a very good base for a lure i make... does make them slobber for sure..... ;>)

I have two buckets of deer meat that are about three years old and they are liquid, at least on top, and very mellow.
I have a container of mink glands that is about 25 years old, that I had buried and forgot about, that I wish I had a bucket of, cause it is some mellow minky smelling stuff.

Can you imagine what the archiologist 1000 yrs from now are going to say when they dig up all of that "forgotten" rotted down critter.I'd like to be a fly on the wall for that converstation:)

Wouldn't work for me I can't remember a week past let alone burying something and retrieving it 2 years in the future.
But hey, try it and if it works, everybody on t-man can send you there carcasses from next year.

Trapper should be used to smelly things one of my favorite quotes is (old trappers dont die they just smell that way) And as a VERY AMATEUR LURE maker I just have fun concocting my own brews and experimenting
