I did years ago for alot of different lures and baits. For some reason I got away from using them.
I just put 3 dozen in the jar to "cure" for this year though. Reason being, I have been called more this year for skunks then ever before. It is hard telling how many I have caught this year already. (adc work) Since eggs are my #1 bait for them, it got me to thinking how well they are for most any critter.
I use several different ingrediants in it depending on what I want it to catch. Although just plain ole "cured" eggs work well for alot of critters.
What do you guys use with the egg base?

I am not a bait maker, but I am bad to take advantage of what ever I got laying around (laying- what a pun). I like eggshells for a visual attractor and notice that they work well if I freeze them or let them rot either way. If you squirt them with vanila extract they are even more leathal

I haven't ever used them, but I can see where eggshells would be a good attractor. Almost all predators will eat eggs given the chance. I've had decent luck using feathers as an attractor too.

Ever tried duck eggs down a dirthole? Find a duck egg, dig your dirthole just big enough to fit the egg down 3-4 or so inches. Shove the egg down the hole, then crack it open and leave it, with a grass wad covering it. Seems like duck eggs have a "richer" or more pungent odor that lasts longer.
;D

tc....duck eggs are alot more ummmmm......Smellier? then other eggs. They also have a totaly different look to them after left to cure for 6-8 weeks.
Left lane....i use both vanilla and anise to spice them up for skunks and coon. Only problem I have with them then is the possums seem to be willing to run a mile to get to them first.
