I agree. That's why I wonder why the topic of location keeps coming up on the lure making forum over and over again As like every other thread when the term "can't trap it if it isn't there" comes up. When it comes to attracting animals in general from squirrel to coyote, I really don't get how complicated folks make things out to be. Maybe we have dumb animals but some of the things I see people go through to attract an animal with a scent is crazy. There are lures that are superior to others, no doubt, but if them lures don't work for the individual using them and the animals are walking right by the set and from reading the many posts on commercial lure not panning out for the trapper there are many. How valuable is that recipe? To those who it works for, it might be the golden ticket to others, it's just another bottle on the shelf. Is there really an answer besides you need 30+ years in a bottle to be effective?

He sure takes some bashing from some folks on this forum. For some reason, a lot people cannot stand to see someone else be successful.

I must have missed something in this thread. I started out reading about a fellow trapper that saw a video made by another trapper that is also a lure maker and wanting to tell others in this community that it made him happy and he picked up some knowledge. I will be the first to admit I know virtually nothing about trapping and absolutely nothing about lure making. I honestly may never be interested in making lure. I have only successfully trapped some coons and I am not good at that yet. I am fortunate that a lifetime of hard work has put me in a situation where I can do things I want to do and am interested in and frankly make me happy. My intention is to as proficient as I can become at predator and water trapping. I have spent countless hours watching videos both on the web and ones I have purchased. I have read a lot both here and books and articles and on the web. I spend a lot of time in the woods and always have but my pursuits were more geared toward hunting. I already know how to track but frankly never looked at tracks to try to figure out why an animal was doing what it was doing. It's all about learning. It's work but more fun or should be. I learn every time I go out. Be it success or failure it's still fun and a learning experience. I inshore fish quite a bit on the Gulf Coast and do it around and with some of the best in the business. We share ideas and spots and are constantly learning and supporting one another. Nothing we do is ever considered competition and we respect each other. I deal with a lot of charter captains and regularly put them on fish for their clients. They give me info when I am taking someone out. Anyway. I'm happy for ya that you liked the video and learned something new. Maybe someday that knowledge will help me out. But more so I hope it helps you. That's what makes it all worth doing.

The amount of information given today compared to back in the 80's when I started is unbelievable. back then I just listened and put little things together as I would hear bait and lure makers talk. They knew they was giving out little things, and I was listening, and they knew it was up to me to decode the information. Trying things, doing this and that, many blown up jars and a lot of money went into those first products that really worked. testing and retesting. The learning curve is a lot easier now, And I will say I still am learning every day. some products can be made fast and when done right will last years other products need to set for years to really get a good thing that last and produces. I am a firm believer in learning from others and then applying that to what I know. I will buy vids and books, I will take instructions every chance IO get because I know that adding the knowledge that someone else has to what I know only makes me better in understanding. I will confess that in the lure and bait making game my old school mindset of loose lips sink ships is still very real LOL but opening up some LOL The new folks, there is a lot of information given on this site for free. little things that when you put them together result can come but you have to look and think. even the vids and books the real secrets that person has will not be spelled out, they will give a quick mention and move on. when I am listening to folks like Paul or Bob and others I try to pick up on the quick comment and then they move on. that is where the real rubber meets the road. and then think on it and try to figure it out. They knew they threw out a little gem it is up to the listener to build on it.

I've said it before.."I can pee on a dirthole set in the right location and catch a coyote."

As long as the secret in a bottle mind set exsists bait and lure makers will have a job!. Jonesie you nailed it but how many realize a gems been tossed out, or will do something with that gem once discovered! Dealing with the public most of my adult life has me realizing the world is full of do it for me people! Certain people you can tell how and they still would rather have it done for them. Be it time money or lazy.Thats good for the pros they will always have a job.
