Never used them but I bet if Gary Jepson has anything to do with them, they're still good.

How long has Ardell been gone? I talked to him I believe about 6 months before he passed and was under the impression he was still doing all the formulations.

Jack Hill spent time formulating with Ardell prior to his passing. Gary Jepson bought the Lure end of the business from Barb is my understanding. Jack Hill took lure instruction from Jepson probably 15-16 years ago. Jack has done very well formulating I believe he does have a chemistry degree on some level.

Jack replicates what Ardell had taught him prior.

Ardell passed away in 22.

His big stinky coon bait was very unique and worked well.
I liked his mink pack too.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
