What's next? What more do we need? If something works, don't fix it.
But, while gazing at my crystal ball a moment ago, I saw a possibility. I give this stuff away all the time, so if one of you get rich from it, remember to give credit where it is due.
Fooling a coyote's nose. The common wisdom around these parts is that it can't be done. I believe it. However, I have had coyotes approach me from down wind, smelling me, and refusing to budge. Refusing, that is; until I start sending a stream of misted rabbit urine in his direction. Some say that skunk will do the same thing, and I believe it, I prefer to use the rabbit urine.
Okay. It works, depending on how you define "works" at least half the time. What happens is that the coyote will sniff the air and smell me, and smell rabbit urine. I only need him to hold still for five or ten seconds, and if he does that, within range, he's a goner. Every once in a while, for whatever reason, a coyote will disregard all the warning signs, and come in from downwind. It's not supposed to happen, but it does, and I'm positive that the coyote smells human. So, big deal, every once in a while,he will come in close.
Okay, now everyone has heard of the work being done with moths and what attracts them to each other during mating. Can't remember what the chemical is called, but the whole key to attraction is a very small amount of this substance. Somebody knows the word that I'm thinking of, help me out here.
Anyway, let's say we come up with a HEATED utensil (container) that will project a MEGA DOSE of rabbit urine and SEX hormone, and count on the coyotes being so involved with the olfactory stimulation that they all come in. Picture the movie, "JAWS" where they are spooning all this putrid blood and fish guts into a slipstream, and the sharks follow this trail right up to the back of the boat. Sure, they know the boat is there, but they approach anyway. Can we see the correlation?
Don't think I'm simply talking about putting a little lure or scent in the air and thinking this is going to be the next big advancement in predator hunting. No, it has to be so overwelming that a coyote can't help himself. We might be calling coyotes from five miles just by the scent in the air.
I'm speculating that fooling the coyote's most important sense, his nose, will be the major advancement in the sport of predator hunting. Makes it almost too easy, doesn't it?
Comments?
Good hunting. LB
