What’s Castor selling for? Anybody know?

The recent fur sales had averages around $60/lb. Some lure dealers are still paying $80/lb no grading.

Thanks, I got a few lbs. I need to sell.

I need to go Get Some to make more lures.
Springs A comming

I was just outside and you don't need to hurry.

Kaatz Bros advertized $75-

I just looked at Kaatz $65 on castor as of today. and dropping.

I have got 14# of early 2000 vintage southern castor that i dried and put in ziplocks and forgot about somehow in the depths of the freezer. found while doing some serious digging. haha anyone interested pm me

Check in with Paul...he was looking for Southern castor

So if you have two beavers,one south and one north,how close can they live to each other ,and if they interbreed across the line,do some kits have southern type castors and other kits have northern type castors,or do they all have half and half,or is there a zone where the castor is neither north or south?

Boco i think you just got ur feelers hurt because someone thinks your beaver are second class

Paul should be able to answer your question boco, half his are from Alabama and the other half from Wisconsin.

If you deal with Cottonmouths while trapping they are Southern, if not they are Northern.

i always figured it was the mason dixon line. but the cotton mouth theory sounds about right to me. south to me is anywhere warmer than home in january, like arkansass or north carolina.

LOL, if you have a northern and southern beaver in the south, where they're eating sweet gum, the castors from both of these and offspring will have southern castor. If the same thing happened in the north, where they were eating aspen, they would have northern castor. It's what they're eating that determines what the castor smells like. The beavers we have down here that originated in Wisconsin have castors that are southern in smell, because of what they're eating.

Pine and willow eaters have a bit of a different smelling castors too.

i am looking for east / west /south / north castor and every thing in between lol pm what you have and for prices

Good way to clear that up

I wonder what the cottonwood/poplar eaters register as Paul?

I really don't know. There's not enough of those here to tell. The Aspen is what really puts what I call the northern odor in castor. The aspen is a poplar, so other poplars may induce the same odor into the castors, but I don't know.

Popple (aspen), Balm of Gilead (aspen species), and willow eaters here, lol, I dont separate the various flavors, though, lol.
