Should I preserve the oil sac of a beaver?
I plan on carrying it around with my gear to use it as lure but not sure how to go about preserving the actual sac or if it's even necessary...

I figured I should but knew y'all would know for sure?

Thanks
Ken

Ken, i just squeeze out what oil is in the sac into a real small jar then freeze it till time to use it. Freeze whats left and use it again next year.

As long as there are no trace amounts of blood squeezed in also you don't need any preservatives. It will last for years and years.

There is a market for dried in the shell oil sacs to lure makers too, also, fresh froze. I'll put them is Ziploc bags and freeze them up .
