Here's a simple recipe using tarsal glands. The first step is to select the tarsal glands. You can use doe or buck glands
depending on what is available and the lure you wish to make. It's a lot easier to find tarsal glands from a buck that are full of rut
scent than it is a doe because does are in heat for such a short time.
If I were making a buck tarsal gland lure, I would select glands from a mature buck that are as full of musky, rut smell as
possible. To select doe tarsal glands, be sure to take them from a doe in heat. It's easy to tell when a doe is in or is coming into
season just from her tarsal glands. If you notice the tarsal glands of most does that you see, they are white. However, as a doe
is coming into heat, she will pee down her back legs and onto her tarsal glands. As she does this, the glands become dark and
smelly and the doe then leaves her scent signal through out the woods as she travels. As soon as she has been bred, she will
lick her tarsal glands clean and white again. If you or a buddy takes a doe with dark tarsal glands, take advantage of your good
fortune and make some of your own lure! If you can't find what you want that way, try checking out the deer waiting to be
processed at the local butcher. Ask nicely, and they'll likely let you help yourself to a gland or two.

Step 1:
As soon as possible after the kill, remove and
protect the tarsal glands by freezing them until your
ready to start making the lure. Cut through the skin
around the tarsal gland in a circle about the size of a
silver dollar. Then free the tarsal gland by slicing
through the membranes and such below the skin.
Do not touch the tarsal glands with your bare hands.
Use rubber gloves throughout the process so you do
not contaminate your lure with human scent.
Put the tarsal glands in a super clean glass jar and
add enough high proof vodka to cover them and seal
it up good. It should take 4 to 6 ounces of alcohol for
two tarsal glands.

two tarsal glands.
- Put the jar in a cool, dark place and let them
soak for at least two months. - When enough time has past, put on rubber
gloves, remove the glands and squeeze out
as much fluid as you can back into the jar. - Now discard the tarsal glands you have
sucked as much of the scent out as possible
already.
You now have a tarsal gland tincture.
Step 2:
You can use this lure straight but most lure makers wouldn't consider tarsal
gland tincture to be the final product but rather more of an ingredient in a
more complex or matrix lure.
Mixing a half ounce of your tarsal gland tincture, a half ounce of a quality
buck urine, a pinch of salt (to preserve it) and a teaspoon of tonquin musk.
Other common lure ingredients are:
Keep it simple, it's best not to go off the deep end and have a dozen or
more ingredients. Don't use up your whole batch of tincture on one lure.
Step 2:
- Add an equal amount of glycerin by volume to your tincture. The
glycerin will hold and bind the scent and will allow you to add other
ingredients. The scent will improve as it ages until next season. - Keep your lure cool and dark and the alcohol will preserve it
indefinitely.

Other common lure ingredients are:
- your favorite doe or buck urine
- other gland tinctures - see below
- scents like anise, tobacco, vanilla, beaver castor, etc.
Keep it simple, it's best not to go off the deep end and have a dozen or
more ingredients. Don't use up your whole batch of tincture on one lure.
- Make small batches of an ounce or two. If you're going to add urine
to your lure, it's a good idea to throw in a pinch of salt to help
preserve it. The salt won't affect the odor.
There are a number of glands on a deer that can be
used to make excellent tinctures that you can use on
their own or as an ingredient in a lure. For example:
Inter-digital gland: This is a gland from between
deer's hooves. It secretes a musky scent that deer
use to identify and track each other. One batch of this
tincture will probably last you the rest of your life
because you use so little of it at once. It is thought
that a large amount of this scent is perceived as a
warning by deer and will spook them off so, just use a
few drops in an ounce of lure. This is a good
ingredient to include in a scent you're going to use to
make scent trails. To get to this gland you cut off the
leg of the deer at its first knuckle. Stand the leg end
so the hoof is pointed up.

- Put a big, heavy knife between the two
hooves, push down and split the leg in
two halves. Just above the hoof, you'll
see a small gland with a paste like
substance in it that you have cut in half.
Scrape out the paste from both halves
with a clean knife. Don't get any blood
or fat or any other crap in it. Repeat for
all the legs. Place the bits of paste in a
super clean jar and cover with alcohol. - When the mixture has aged for a couple
of months in a cool dark place, add an
equal amount of glycerin.

Forehead gland: This is a lure you would use on licking branches above
scrapes, on scent posts, and rubs. The main ingredient is the dark patch
of fur on top of a buck's head. That fur is full of oils and scent and bucks
rub it on branches to leave their scent signature behind.

- Cut around the dark patch and skin off the top of the buck's
head. You can just use this part or add in the pre-orbital
glands that are found in the corner of their eyes and/or the
saliva glands which lay on either side of the buck's neck
just below the jaw bone. The pre-orbital and saliva glands
should be cut into a few pieces. - Just as with the other formulas above, be super clean,
cover the glands with alcohol and store in a cool dark place
for two or three months. When it's done, take out the
glands, squeeze out as much of the alcohol as you can
and discard the glands. - Add an equal amount of glycerin and age till next season.

- Cut the balls into a few small pieces, cover with alcohol and
store in a cool dark place for two months or so. When
they've soaked long enough, pull out and discard the pieces
of testicle that remain. Add an equal amount of glycerin.
