Finally got a chance to try out Boss's Woodchipper that I picked up from him at the NTA. Doing a damage beaver job on a neighborhood lake. This stuff is the business. Stacking em up. Happy homeowners too.

What kind of set do you make with it ? I assume it's food based lure not a castor based.

I just put some bait sticks up on the bank near a big feed they have going. I put the Woodchipper on the bait sticks with a TS 85 out front for the back foot.

Don't think you even need to do that as far as location. Just pick a spot near where beaver are traveling that has some steepness.

Will they come to it through an underwater 330 like a castor mound set ?

Don’t know Kyron. I would imagine so considering how effective it has been thus far. Maybe somebody with more experience with Woodchipper will chime in.

What a great lure. I’ll put it on a stick in a feed ditch or in a cutout in a bank, on a stick up high with a snare, or on a feed bed/mock feed bed. This lure has worked for me in at least 8 states. East, west, doesn’t matter.

You can do smear sets on a rock/tree just off the bank and run a 330 between the bank and the object. One of my favorite sets when the situation presents itself.

I use it along with a little dab of sac oil for a change up.

Believe it or not, it is the first bottle I reach for when making a set. The stuff works year-round for me. Blak Spot, it already has sac oil in it, but if you like using more sac oil, I reckon that's good if'n it's working for you.

Thx for lettin us know about sac oil in the wood chipper. I should explain better. I put a skinned up fresh pealed limb up on the bank about 18" from water edge. The sac oil goes near the edge of the water.
With the knowledge of sac oil in Woodchipper, this will make at least two different beaver smells at the set.

On a small river we trap there are places that have pretty steep banks, 4 or 5 feet up from the river and a loon poop bottom.
My wife Patrice says we will catch beaver up here on top of the bank and proceeds to polish up a couple soft maple sticks
and put them in a couple feet back from the top of the bank and smeared a little Woodchipper on them. Then bedded MB 750s
in front of them like you were making a P post set for a coyote. We attached the traps to a slide cable, filled feed bags with soil
and threw them into the river. This will never work I said and she claimed she had seen something like it on a Charlie Dobbins
video. Yep, I said, I watched that too but Charlie did not make the set so far above the river that the beaver needed an oxygen
tank to reach the summit. Sure enough, two dead beaver the next morning. I stand corrected and we have taken many beaver
and coon also this way. A big plus also is that the set is not affected by water elevation fluctuation.

I buy it by the pint, Backbreaker too. Seems every season my biggest beavers come on Woodchipper.

Paul said it has a little castor in the Woodchipper too, now he says sac oil, pretty soon we'll have the whole recipe. lol I have had great success with both of them! The Woodchipper I used in a simple set where I poke a small clump of green willows at the water's edge, put a dab of the lure in the middle and set the trap out front in shallow water.

Another ingredient is 4 herb. I pick and process the 4 herb myself. And the 4 herbs are fairy wings, fairy dust, fairy toenails and fairy dandruff.
