I have caught beaver in muskrat floats so that sparked me into the thought of beaver floats. Do you gentlemen that use them lure them up with castor type lure or bait them with fresh popple instead. I have plenty of areas to try them. Now just waiting for the snow and ice to be gone.

I find any poplar bud oil to attract too many m'rats. I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.
