I definitely didn't mean it in a bad way. I meant it as I was agreeing with your comment about oil sacks I

Call me crazy but I like to open it and smell it in thr off season it smells sooo good

That the same set as the earlier post water is down

I use my own lure,have for many years.When the price of castor went high I sold all my castor and bought beaver lure.
A lot of trappers here Use Bob Wilsons green lure-It works very well here both in open water fur season and in summer nuisance.
I had a chance to get some of Pauls Backbreaker when I was down in the states,and it produced just as well if not better than the Bob Wilsons.

I’ve been making my own the last three years. Castor, molasses, poplar bud oil and Everclear ( grain alcohol ). Seems to get their attention.

All I ever did for many years was to take castors from a different river system, turn one castor inside out in put it in a jar with a lid. When at the set, add a little water from the stream to the jar, shake vigorously for 5 seconds, and pour out on a castor mound. You can do this over and over for years with the same castor if you like. Never had any spoilage. Caught every beaver I tried to catch with something that simple. Sometimes I would add a squirt of the oil sacks to the jar as well. All very simple and 100% natural.

Paul's Beaver Plus for me!

You gotta make some taller H stands

I keep going back to Backbreaker. I have confidence in it.

I thought about that one since its a curiosity lure vs a castor lure to mix it up a bit

I don't have access to the supplies to make em. I do have the know how though.

Mine are 53" Makes a Big difference

Backbreaker and Woodchipper are my top go to with BeaverPlus coming on strong. WCS Beaver Blaster is my change up castor if I end up with a holdout.

Anything with castor and just about anything else added to it works for me.

Dobbins Backbreaker, Beaver Plus, Pingleys Beaver slapper, Seven oaks castorium.
And Sugar Creek Trapping nanner oil.

Ttt

Besides Backbreaker, I use Sweetwater Flattail.

You brought this one from the way-back pages. Good pictures though!

Most commercial beaver castor lure works good.
