Anything is better than just straight castor. Plain castor will certainly bring them in, but imo it will bring them in too fast, sometimes they will back into your castor mound springing your trap with their tail. I think the addition of something like mentioned above will slow them down a bit and come in nose first. Back years ago when I used chewing tobacco a bit I thought of grinding some castor along with half a can of Kodiak Wintergreen; I'll bet it would work great. "My life is better than your vacation"

I would have to think that would leave a bad aftertaste in your mouth. I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Unless it's a damage control situation then I'll use lure and take my chances I prefer to use castor from beaver from a different area than where I'm trapping. Allan

I have used the mint smokey mountain chew on beaver and it works. (Spring high water) works even better for muskrats. And yes anise does work also. Good change up. Let me sugar coat this

Well aware but figured floating the scent would help filter the problem . but coon swim too. You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?
