We don't use them, in California. Don't know a lot about them, but I think there might be a few pics over on PM, of Watson's truck? Used to be, anyway?

Catmando,

Texans use high rigs frequently for whitetail and hogs. Also common for night-calling predators.

There has got to be a fair number of pictures online for you to ponder. Try google images.

Yeah, I always thought a high rack was something found on a deer, guess not? Leonard, if they don't use high racks in California, what do they use? [Big Grin]

terms, terms, terms. The California Rig defies description. Maybe nervana fits?

Good Hunting, from Marin. LB

A Cali-rig is somewhere between a Stealth Fighter and a Bradly, [Eek!]

it also is most active at night.

Anybody ever heard of this guy: 10deadhorses?

I think he's a wannabe. LB

Posted by onecoyote (Member # 129) on July 14, 2005, 10:05 AM:

Actually, 10 deadhorses was a scent you could by years ago, nasty stuff too.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on July 14, 2005, 11:34 AM:

very slippery. That's not what I asked.

Posted by Kokopelli (Member # 633) on July 14, 2005, 02:53 PM:

So, whatever happened to 10 deadhorses (the scent)??

I've heard it spoken of at trapping conventions with awe & reverence but have never even seen an ad for it.

I was beginning to think it was one of those 'legends'.

Posted by onecoyote (Member # 129) on July 14, 2005, 03:45 PM:

Yeah, lots of old legends around nowadays. [Wink]

I think Leonard is talking about someone using that nic in a different forum. I have no idea who that could be, [Smile]

maybe an old trapper or predator caller from long ago [Confused]

Kokopelli, I found it Andrews Sporting Goods back in the late 70s or so in Long Beach of all places. It was pretty good stuff, you could smell it a block away.

Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on July 14, 2005, 04:18 PM:

I heard your buddy, Docheff used to make his own?

Posted by Kokopelli (Member # 633) on July 14, 2005, 06:02 PM:

Onecoyote, I think that Andrews got bought out by Turners. I've bought quite a bit of trap lure there, in the 'fish scents' aisle. I'll check it out the next time I'm in The Valley of San Fernando.

Posted by onecoyote (Member # 129) on July 14, 2005, 09:12 PM:

Your right, I think the guys name was Bill Andrews. I think his ex wife has or had something to do with Turners. I don't think they carry 10deadhorses anymore. Did you know the CVCA once had a chapter in San Fernando. They droped out back in about the mid 70s, I know Leonard remembers them. Dick Docheff placed 3rd on a state hunt I was on once, he was always a little over weight. I always wondered how he got up and down them hills to get all those cats. Like you said Leonard, he was the first guy I ever saw with a .17 and that was a custom .17 at that.

This is where I saw the name. For my money, he writes like Danny. Always talking about CVCA and flipper lights.....but I could be wrong?
