Willow and cottonwood main diet in my neck of the woods. Where would those rate on the southern scale?

What if a northern beaver "comes out" and Identifies as southern?

Hey Paul,when you buy a bunch of castor and are smelling each one to sort out the south from the north,does your nose get burned out after a few dozen or so?

Hey Paul,when you buy a bunch of castor and are smelling each one to sort out the south from the north,does your nose get burned out after a few dozen or so? I segregate according to location. South/North. If they're caught in the south, I don't need to smell them. This is the first year I've bought northern castor, and so far the castor I've gotten from NY and ME smell virtually the same. The diets in those two states must be the about the same.

If you deal with Cottonmouths and/or alligators while trapping they are Southern, if not they are Northern. Good way to clear that up Lol. I used to think there couldn’t be a difference. Having trapped in the south and then the north, there’s a HUGE difference.

Hey Paul,you should try to get some castor from Kosoi-That would likely have a different smell than either. Might be a super deadly lure,

I don't know. Talk to Backbreaker, it's the standard. I don't think it's anywhere near soy. I'm just joking around, I've never tried it, never looked at a storebought lure until years after I started trapping beaver using homemade lure as I was taught to do so.

Id be willing to bet that a North American Beaver would swim across the Mississippi River for a castor mound with some Russian Beaver Castor on it. You might be right there. I sure would like some to play with.
