Do you save the cat glands of the cats you catch?

I just make my own cat gland lure it pretty simple. I just grind them and age them slightly then preserve them. They have a great catty smell to them that the cats and everything else likes it. I have to be sure and put my lure bucket where my dog can't get to because she will have in the yard trying to get the lid off.

Nice!
We don't have many bobcats around here...in fact the only one I've seen was hit on Hwy 28 in Horicon marsh. That one was a mess and I had to stop and figure out what the parts made.
