Paul, you are in the ball park at $80.
I'd take 80 in the country any day before $100 at auction before commission and shrinkage.

Is there a synthetic version of Castor , that could be used to substitute for Northern Beaver Castor Can't speak for him, but, not sure he wants to go that route. There's nothing like "authentic". Seems like most lures go flat when the ingredients start going synthetic.

You could Maaahket the Northern stuff …as Back Breakah …and Pennsylvania on south as Back Breaker. When I get some Castah …I’ll send it your way.

You could get $90 straight run in the country in May if you looked around. Don’t know what it is now other than what Paul is offering. I’m curious where the North/South castor line is. Probably has more to do with diet than strictly location. Poplar up here

Is there a synthetic version of Castor , that could be used to substitute for Northern Beaver Castor The synthetic lure ingredients never measure up to the real stuff in my experience. More and more lures are being made with them. After awhile you can start to figure out which lure makers are relying more on synthetics to advance the profits and for the convenience but they will never admit it.

How about putting out a well drawn or quality picture guide on exactly what to do in order to take the glands. From what I’ve seen in videos and books is low quality and im not really sure what im taking. He's way ahead of you... https://trapperman.com/trapperman/beaver_castor_removal.html

Pretty sure he was talking about glands from OTHER critters. As a matter of fact, the only glands I remove are from Beaver (oil sacks and castors). I’m starting to see the value in Glands from other animals.

Paul, bought a couple bottles of Backbreaker at local retailer this afternoon. Was afraid your post would start a run on it before season. 
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I believe the development of a northern version of back breaker would be perfect.
Any guesses why Bob Wilsons NORTHERN beaver lure is/was desired? Stronger scent?
I think you will get plenty of northern castors available.
Good luck with that.

Bossman Dobbins,
will you be buying northern castor at
the NYSTA convention this coming weekend

If so, I will bring you some.

I’d say 80 dollars works pretty well, but with all this talk of castor as I’m sitting here I’m beginning to smell castor and Backbreaker, the power of suggestion is amazing.
