Looking for ways to attract horse flies and or bugs to a 25 yd target. Too cold now of course. I have heard horse flies like blue shiny objects. I am wanting to use a large white poster board as a back drop to attach targets to.
:Modified_ I Guess I need to check the regs to make sure baiting bugs is legal in Illinois. My gut tells me no.
I also noted that if I am walking my trails, horse flies love to land and bite your neck and head. What do you think about one of those styrofoam heads that hair dressers use. Just kinda pretty it up, maybe some peanut butter on the nose.
Just thinking outside the box here. What about scent control and camo selection.
I can see this is going to get expensive real fast. How am I going to break it to the wife that I need a better scope. I need some help here.
Deer flies are a species of horse fly. The University of Florida recommends a blue object such as a plastic drink cup. Cover it with a sticky substance, mount it higher than the rest of your body - on your head - and walk around with it because these critters want their meat moving.
Jelly packets from your choice of eatery... I like hunting bigger more dangerous game.... Bull Grasshoppers.....We get periodic infestations here and they are all over the place.
Yes, I'm a different kind of fella. I happen to like the strawberry and grape jam at ihop and anywhere else I've had similar jam.
It's also good as honey on attracting flys. Problem is that they won't stay still long enough to play catch and catch any lead balls.
