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

I don't know. Cottonwood is in the poplar family, so it may induce a similar odor in the castor.

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.

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. whistle

I wonder what the beaver's food supply is there. I'm thinking I saw aspen in some videos, so it may be the same as the northern tier of the US.

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.
