I'm not a big numbers beaver trapper, I've really only been chasing them for 2ish years now, but in my area so far I just can't seem to get a great response off of castor. I've used back breaker (which has by far been the most effective castor based lure I've used), Marsyada's beaver castor, and 3 or 4 other castor based lures and almost every time regardless of the season I'll catch beaver off Woodchipper over castor.

3 or 4 colonies could just be a coincidence, but it's been going on long enough it's starting to turn into a pattern. Woodchipper is just flat out more effective for me.

Is Woodchipper a food based lure?

I have much better success with Bob Wilson's green in summer for nuisance. Castor gets a bit of action, but Bob Wilson's more. In fall, no difference.

If I had only one, I would pick Bob Wilson's.

I'd like to try some wood chipper though

Just ordered my 1st Bottle of Woodchipper. Thanks Paul!!! Room Temp ok. Won't use til Nov.

Once again, I’d like to hear what type of sets they use with wood chipper, as well as how they’re applying and presenting the lure.


Thanks
