I make my own bait, but no lure making here. Skunks are pretty effective for me just planted near the set they were caught in. The bonus is that I deal with them very little and my pickup and clothes don't smell like skunk too bad (just the residual skunk from call lures). I leave the lure making to the experts. Give me a few bottles of MN Brand lures and a few others for change ups and I'm good to go.
