RE: How to make blood trail
mdbohuntr...that's just disgusting!!!! I don't think that my wife would even let me grab her used pads to take out. Plus, do you really think that you could squeeze the pads to get the blood out???? If so, she must be a "heavy" producer! I feel sorry for you!

RE: How to make blood trail
NEB,
Here's a little explanation: The pad is dragged by a string to leave a scent trail. Deer's noses are at least 10,000 times more sensitive than yours. (or a dog's). A rutting buck can smell the estrus scent quite easily, and he will follow that scent hoping to find a estrus doe at the end of the trail. Years ago a lady that lived near us entered a stallion's corrall to feed him, not realizing that he could sense that it was her period. The Stallion attacked her, putting her in the hospital. Same with the buck. He uses his nose, to follow that trail, not his eyes. Some of the lady hunters on this site have tried this with mixed results.

Actually I have heard that animals will react differently when a woman has her period, but didn't quite realize that people actually drag the pad along behind them. Seems weird, but then again, lots of things are weird when it comes to hunting. Some of the most extreme ideas work while the most conventional ideas do not. Thanks for the clarification.

I guess I need to be more specific next time. LOL I was talking about my sons. Since there isn't a butcher shop within 100 miles I'll try the corn syrup.
Thanks again for the input.
Happy hunting.

RE: How to make blood trail
How about mixing up some blood meal from your local garden dept.
I use it when chumming for shark
Thats just nasty,I dont even want to see the damn wrappers in the trash,much less drag a loaded one in the woods with me.
No,No,No hun dont throw that out ...I want to teach the boys something.Do you got any more?
That would go over well.

RE: How to make blood trail
I would try a non game animal. Maybe shooting ferral hogs, fallow deer, coyotes or something there is no closed season. Time at the range and instruction in the anatomy of a deer from different angles would be more productive.
