How long will this mixture last before it starts losing it's stregth. Is it something that needs to be made in weekly batches. Thank you in advance. Mike

I mix it before season, and use it all season. if any left over, I use it the next year. 4oz to a gal is my mix- in extreme cold, I'll bump it with a bit more

yep I mixed some up as well and smells like a good combo a few weeks to go and time to give it a try. I have 4 different oil/mixes made up 2 natural and 2 made with so called un edible items I want to see what works and what don't with DP's. I know all will work with foot traps so my little testing will be on the dp's.

try plain fish oil, then try fish oil with procoon
modern fish oil, really isn't fishy or has much of a smell.
the only reason I use it, is as a medium to apply lure-
What promotes the scent of a lure getting "out there" is air surface. I like a coon lure that I can smell appoaching the set.
putitng a few drops on a twig, or cotton ball etc- limits that air surface to a very small area-
now taking a fish oil mixture and squirting it around the sides of the hole, the back of the hole- gives you many, many times the surface area, of the lure on a twig. I'll often then take the bottle and give a nearby tree or the bank a squirt and let it run down- exposing more of the lure to the air.
I do a lot of snow trapping coon- more so than bare ground trapping- and I've never seen where a coon comes to the call lure option, and then not check out the hole or pipe.
Curiosity kills more than cats.
