Question for the veteran trappers: Has anyone used beaver urine for anything on their traplines? Just hate to waste it when I butcher the beaver carcass.
I have tried mixing it with castor and sack oil in small amounts and it didn't work out (at least as a beaver lure). I think I remember Paul coming to the same conclusion.

I also tested it and came to the same conclusion as beaverpeeler. I assume they urinate in the water, thus getting diluted rapidly in the water leaving little to no odor. That's just an assumption with nothing to back it up.
If they only poo in the water, I assume they pee in the water. Doesn't surprise me beavers aren't attracted to urine. Neither am I, so I just gained a bit more respect for beavers.
