Cut up beaver tails 14 months ago. Between 40 -50 tails a 5 gallon pail. Tails were frozen and cut on a band saw into 2 inch square pieces. Made up 10 pails. Been sitting on the farm for 14 months in a sheltered spot in the sun. Picked up two pails and siphoned off the nice black oil.

Pails were full to the top when sealed

One pail had 80 ounces the other 56 ounces

I just took the good oil off the top with a turkey Baster. Once I started drawing up clear oil I stopped. Put the rubber sealed lids back on and I will see what I get next year off the same two pails.

Good stuff right there, happy trapping.

You use it as is, or add other stuff in it.?


Let me sugar coat this

How come you converted it to ounces and gallons? I was kind of looking forward to another spirited debate about the benefits of meters and liters and whatever else you guys use up there. :-)

Hey Chad
As is. Doesn’t freeze solid but gets thick in the cold. Nice and pure , works good for almost any animal. Works good on my bait stations in winter gives off a nice smell in -25 weather. Couple drops in a dirt hole for coyotes works good to.

Sorry Laz I figured it would be easier for you to understand! See if you can decipher this!

136 ounces conversion

Imperial gallon .884716
Imperial pint 7.07773
Imperial quart 3.55887
Millilitres 4022

Or

US liquid gallon 1.0625
US liquid pint 8.5
US liquid quart 4.25

Your brain pan is bigger than mine. At least you stocked up on Tacoma’s. I’ll trade you 5 imperial gallons for one Tacoma. Just so you know that’s bigger than the US gallon.

I’ll be starting the last week of October. Hopefully I can get a couple weeks of foothold trapping before I move to power rams. Usually here by the end of the month the adults are real good and the pups are a blue but the fur still looks pretty good. Yeah I have enough oil to last me probably a lifetime now. Probably four more gallons sitting in the sun right now. I’ll put those two pails back in the sun and probably next year I’ll get another half gallon out of them

So, curious...you just fill the buckets with the cut up tails, and this is what you end up with? No extra liquid?

Just beaver tails. Sun renders them down to oil. Need a tight lid so no bugs or flies can get in. Picture before I closed the tops.

Just went out to the garage and snapped a couple pics.

Tails with he oil pulled out

Glass jars work better for pulling oil. Clear oil is heavier and on the bottom. One bottle I went to deep and took the clear oil. Pretty easy to see in the bottle.

I called the light colored stuff the sludge. Not oil, not water and has a lot of suspended in it. The dark oil is the good oil.


Wish I had more time to trap....
