Title: lures and bait
Post by: bare.hunter on August 27, 2011, 01:46:14 PM: lures and bait what do you guys use for predators
I have some mt magic and lennons all call and have had
some luck with both.What is it that you use and why what about
feather or eye attactant for cats.
this forum has been alittle quit for awhile so how about helping
a newbie and what else do we have to do in the off season.

time.
