'Gusto' Scent Lure...WORKS!

I purchased through the NSF grant I'm working under a hideous variety of scent lures. I deployed one earlier this week to test it out before I began my study.

This stuff is disgusting. Pungent, odiferous, putrid...I could go on. This is a LONG DISTANCE CALL. Meant to be deployed high in the air, not on the ground. The height allows it to be carried on the air and bring animals in from near and far.

This stick is what I dipped the 'Gusto' into, and left in front of the camera.

As you can see, a variety of critters came in for 'Gusto'.

Virginia opossum

White-tailed deer

American Crow

Raccoons (finally, more than one!)
