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.

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 know Kyron. I would imagine so considering how effective it has been thus far. Maybe somebody with more experience with Woodchipper will chime in.

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

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. Zim

Whats the difference between woodchippere and backbreaker? and when to use each? Woodchipper is a food base lure. Backbreaker is a castor lure. 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.
