Wild life History

Background and History






In the late 1950’s, two young brothers John and Brian were paid a bounty of 10 cents by their father for every mouse they caught near the outside of their house. The brothers first tried cheese as bait, since mice in cartoons always loved cheese. The results from cheese weren’t as good as expected. Then experiments began with different baits on the mousetraps. The goal was not just to find a bait that worked better than cheese, but to find a bait that the mice really went for and would attract every mouse that went near it. From these humble beginnings the spark was kindled and the earliest foundations laid for what was later to become America’s Top Brand®.




In the 1960’s the family moved to a more remote location with many animals around. Always eager to improve on their success, the brothers soon began to think about the different scents that different animals reacted to. Whenever they would see anything written about scents attracting animals they would really dig into it. From there it was just a short step to conducting experiments in hopes of learning how to improve upon what was available to hunters at the time.




After years of hunting trips, hobby experimentations, and lots of trial and error, the brothers, with help from their Dad, hit on an irresistible formula that attracted deer like nothing they’d ever seen before – Trail’s End® #307®.


Deer Camp success with Wildlife Research Center products Trail’s End® #307® World’s Best Buck Lure™ Since 1983 TRAIL’S END® #307® deer scent from Wildlife Research Center® is a complex blend of natural ingredients developed through years of extensive testing in the field, on wild whitetail deer. It is truly an outstanding buck scent, packed with natural deer calling ingredients, some of which are not well known, but are highly effective. This powerful deer attractant really brings in bucks all season, but especially during the rut.


Being sportsmen and wanting to share their hunting success, in 1983 they made Trail’s End® #307® available to their fellow hunters through mail order magazine ads. When it came to finding just the right name for their company, they decided Wildlife Research Center® best described what their business was all about. But this was just the beginning.




It wasn’t as easy as they thought it would be. In 1983 they spent about $10,000 on magazine ads to sell Trail’s End® #307®. That year they sold enough Trail’s End® #307®, so that they took in a little over $1,000. It was a tough start, and a long hard road. It wasn’t until their 9th year in business before they were able to receive any pay from the business.


One of the very first Trail’s End® #307® ads ran in 1983


Now, even though the money was very minimal, they were able to work at Wildlife® full-time. With their passion for finding new and better ways to hunt at full boil, they continued testing and researching products non-stop. As they were able - hour after hour, day after day, they experimented with formulas and tested them in the woods, examining all of their findings and refining their research until they had produced the best products available.




They developed more attractant scents and masking scents for hunting Whitetail Deer, and other kinds of big game as time went on. Additionally, Wildlife® brought unique and innovative scent dispensers to the market, like the Ultimate Scrape-Dripper®, the only temperature activated liquid scent dispenser for use at scrapes, that is made to drip only during the daytime. It really helps to get the bucks worked up and come in during daytime hunting hours! It was a total breakthrough for scrape hunters.
