Re: Ran out of tuna need more to scent with

raw is what you want...

that said,ive used brine out a can of tuna to scent and it works fine

also pulling the contents out a dead chicks yolk sack with a long needle and syringe works well for scenting


cheers shaun

You can also buy a bottle of fish oil at your local grocery store, it will last you a long time.

Re: Ran out of tuna need more to scent with

Glad to hear she is feeding unscented for you!

Just one question though... If you ran out of tuna, can you not buy more tuna? Was that the reason for switching from tuna, or was she not taking to the tuna scent either?



And did the snake eat the last chicken or did you

great suggestion mate,i'd never thought you could buy a bottle of fish oil...

the only thing i'd check ,is that it's pure fish oil,with no type of additives,salt,seasoning,etc


cheers shaun
