Horse Hoff Cuttings

[David.evans 5,323]

Well I've tried everywhere around the Birmingham area to try and get a bag of this

To make up some fox attractive, but so far no good

If by any chance some body has got some , and could may be post, it would really help out ?

All cost would be covered , and a nice drink on top

If you don't mind telling how do you make it from hoof trimmings

[Furrosious ferreter 499]

How do you make a fox attracted to hoof cuttings?, might be able to get some but might take a few weeks though. How much would you need?

 

I dont shoot foxes just interested.

Okay to use this bait, after it is brewed you can use an atomizer...sray bottle...to spray a shrub or grass area where you want to shoot, or you can place it onto some cotton balls in a plastic ziplock bag and set them out where you want to shoot.

 

BE WARNED DO NOT SPILL IT ON YOURSELF AS YOU WILL HAVE TO WEAR IT OFF

 

This is my number one bait for trapping or shooting nuicance fox and coyotes. An added bonus it it also attracts bucks when the deer come into rut, and has been the demise of many a large mature buck.

 

 

Ok, Here goes:

 

Go to your local stables and ask for some hoof trimming. You may need to time it with a visit from the ferrier, or have them saved for you. If you know a ferrier ask him to keep some for you.

 

The frog or center of the hoof is the best, but any part of the hoof will work.

 

Take the hooves and cut or break into 1 to 2 inches pieces.

 

Then take these pieces and an old pan or bucket, using a fish cooker and doing this outside, cover the hooves with water and begin boiling, making sure to keep the hooves covered with at least 1 inch of water. Boil as long as you like, but 1 to 2 hours is plenty.

 

Let the hooves and water cool, then place in sometype of container... I use the 1 gallon plastic jugs that restraunts get there mayonases in.

 

Pour the hooves and water into your container and fill to almost the top with clean fresh water. Set your container in full sun for as long as you want. It should turn black in a few days. The longer it sets the better it gets.

 

I usually make up a batch after the last cold spell of the year and leave it setting out until the first cold spell of the next year... Make sure to set your jug where dogs can't get to it.

 

Once you have some made, just add water to the jar once you take some out for use....

 

 

If you do not have an area that you can boil it first, you can start it from scratch in the jug in the sun but it takes a little longer to get going. If boiled first you can start to use it in about 2 to 3 weeks, if just sun brewed it takes about 6 weeks.

 

 

The photo shows my brew jar. You will notice a small plastic hose coming from the lid this is to let off gasses so that the jar does not explode. The plastic tubing keeps debris and flies from getting into the brew contaminating it. When brewing keep this up high, such as on a shed roof away from dogs.

 

Taken from online BUT this stuff works a treat

It's got to be worth a try, it's funny how there's few recipes out there for lure, in England, our American friends should have a few Good recipes, it would be good if a few more were shared, I would never have thought to use horse hoof though,

[sussex 5,777]

As they are made of keratin I wonder if powdered keratin would work .We used to use it as a retardant in fibrous plaster .It never smelt particularly pleasant at the best of times ..just a thought .

[David.evans 5,323]

That's the way to make it Martyn bag on mate !

Great stuff as well

Give warrenshall stables a call by dudley see if they will have some

[3175darren 1,100]

I have access, she who thinks she must be obeyed, has a money pit, (sorry horse) and I am a Yorkshire man who wastes nothing, it's a case of how much I need, to make a decent batch, I once got a pot of lure from woodga, and that worked,

[Tyla 3,179]

We have a livery yard and the stuff is everywhere. Dogs love it. If people want it I can supply but I'm sure it's just a case of calling your nearest farrier.

[abarrett 462]

Would cow hoofs work or rams horn

Try the local slaughterhouse

Much as you want from there

[David.evans 5,323]
