Catmandoo Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 4 hours ago, SWWASAS said: Apparently you have not gone past the male scent counter lately at your local Macy's. There is little difference between scents women and men wear any more. That is probably why places like the Blue Oyster Bar have gone out of business in this area. But my point is if we have a creature that cannot be tracked because of how fast it moves, why not do something to draw it in? You are correct. I have not been to the 'male scent' counter, period. I'll pass on the 'Estrogen #9'. Draw it/them in by being yourself. You previously had a post with " being worthy' for an encounter(s). My previous comment was 'personality' being positive or negative. I do not 'block' my scent. They know what you and I: look like, sound like, smell like. If you go out into the field with a new Foo-Foo olfactory signaling test and hear samurai chatter, you have 2 scenarios: they are talking about you or they are laughing their asses off. I have heard samurai chatter, and not heard samurai laughter ( cackling ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWWASAS Posted February 13, 2019 BFF Patron Share Posted February 13, 2019 If I can do something to get them to laugh or talk about me, it is better than doing nothing and just have them let me walk past. I am long past caring about what people think. Much of what I do in the field is to increase my chances of encounter because of being unpredictable or different. Those are my tactics and I will stack them up against some BFRO dude in the dark out whacking trees with an axe handle or making vocalizations. How many of them have BF pictures? Oh I forget how hard it is to take night pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catmandoo Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) A low cost non-food, non-human scent olfactory test is to put dryer sheets in your pockets. I have not tried this but read that the sheets will repel insects. Better in pockets than your dryer. Years ago, I read that some/all have silicone and it transfers to your towels. Over time, the towels loose absorbency. "dude in the dark" is a funny term. I do not wood knock or call blast. I just received my new 12VDC 940nm light. Do you remember phermone chips/bait that were discussed on BFF 1.0 ? I think that food works better. Peanut butter seems to work well and low tech.

wiiawiwb Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 What type of pheromone was used and I wonder where they would go to get it? I've seen prey scent available in hunting stores but I don't think we're talking about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen prey scent available in hunting stores but I don't think we're talking about that. Unknown 'secret sauce' claimed to be a blend of ape and human phermones. A lot of monkey business. Unproven. I am searching my grey matter. I think that the concept started with a guy in northern California. Perhaps some test batches were made in Texas. Commercial sales came from Osmic Research corp., Minnesota, aka Dr. JuiceR. For a cached website ad, check Jon Jones @jonjones on twitter for Sasquatch Phermones. Entertaining. A person would have to search BFF 1.0 and AIBR to track down all the personalities. I used to work with a guy who was a trapper. Unbelieveable stink baits. Very different approach to olfactory signaling as compared to 'food smells'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catmandoo Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Both. A Montana trapper that no one would mess with or certain possesions would have a special smell.......for life. He had containers of 'secret sauce' in his garage. He would 'flavor' his baits for type of animal, time of season, rutt etc. According to him, a group that is larger than 3 is a herd.

I have been assured by a couple of women that the scent they like the best is that of money. As I recall, there was even a male fragrance years ago, that was supposed to smell like money. I suppose that the real thing may work with some women. The old man and the trophy wife thing seemed very common when I was in California last weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catmandoo Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 ^^^ Do you think going modern and the smell of PayPal will work? Or, tell Sherman to set the WAYBAK machine to last century and use Old Spice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiflier Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 PAYPAL??!! That's for children. This is a high end gear thread so no one should try anything less than bitcoins.

I think it was this stuff that broke me of the baiting scene and I drifted back to fruits and peanut butter Edited April 4, 2019 by bipedalist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWWASAS Posted April 4, 2019 BFF Patron Share Posted April 4, 2019 If a strong food scent causes such a strong reaction from the wildlife in the area it does not seem very safe to introduce pheromones to elicit some sort of sexual attraction into the equation when sex is number one and food is number two in animal response priorities. In dealing with BF I have always had the feeling that from their way of looking at things I am the experimental subject rather than the other way around.
