Do y'all eat beaver from kill sets? I guess it would be okay in the winter but I still prefer to eat one that I've shot so it can bleed out more.

This has been most of my hangup as well... Eating something that was drowned and not bled out.

Both of the 25-30 pounders I trapped, cleaned, and ate were in bodygrips. They were fantastic eating. I have a buddy who finally tried eating one, again from a 330, after I convinced him to try it. He said his only regret is all the beaver meat he has thrown away through all these years. Loved it!

All my beaver that I eat are from kill sets. Yummy!

I set snares for beaver when I want stew, that way they can be bled.

Beaver, pressure canned with a bit of beef broth in it,then poured over egg noodles or rice is also a great meal.

Went to the Bull Shoals area one year on a multi day squirrel hunt. Happened to be a poor mast crop that year and the cat squirrels were cutting pine cones. They tasted like they'd been marinated in turpentine. Absolutely couldn't eat them.

I use the beaver livers in lure. The base for GL40 is aged beaver liver.

Interesting. I've had good success trapping red fox with GL40 as a lure. In testing I did two years ago it came in second behind your Mississippi Special. Runner-ups included your K9 03, Cavan's Minnesota Red, Carman's Red Fox Gland, Hawbaker's Red Fox Gland Lure 100, Weiser's Red Fox Gland Lure, Lenon's Fox Super All Call and several others.

Does your Mississippi Special have aged beaver liver in it?


Eh...wot?

I would prefer a fast killed beaver over snared just for the stress hormones that the snared beaver is likely to have.

I've eaten beaver several times. But, each time I could taste the castor. I like the smell of castor, but not the taste.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.
