Asa, I agree with you totally about the fish oil/skunk mixture. However, I use vasoline to mix skunk with for a marten call, just because it is easier to keep it from contaminating.....ME. Seemed like the fish mixture was always getting smeared someplace I didn't want it and I was having a hard time getting back in the house. Plus, it is so easy to just dip a stick in the vasoline, dig out a gob and smear it on the side of a tree.
Lanolin has a pretty pervasive odor of its own, and in my experience (summertime coyote lures) you have to be careful with it or it can over-ride the other odors in formulation. Plus, it gets harder than a rock when it gets cold.
So, Asa, or Bob, is there another base out there that would be better than vasoline but would have somewhat the same properties?
