Beaver Castor Mink lure Muskrat lure
lure recipe 1
1.Grind up a couple semi-dry castors, or chop them...
2.Add some Sac Oil, but only a squirt or two...this can
overpower the whole lure if too much is used.
3.a Cup of Glycerin added to make it Thick Paste texture.
add until it is Thick but not runny...
4 Capful of Peppermint Schnapps...one bottle should last a
lifetime.
5. Add some Birch Oil, Or Popple Bud Oil... bergamot oil
etc.
6. Teaspoon of Sodium Benzoate.. Preservative.... I use it,
but you don't absolutely need it.
Mix it all together and Use. You can split your batch in Two
before adding the last ingredients and make Special trial
batches with different Oil extracts... I buy them from MTP
because they are Pure. and they Work!!! Write your
ingredients down with a permanent marker on Tape to the side
and top of each Jar... or name it and number it with your
recipe on a card in your shop... keep track of your
catches... Making your own change up lure is Super easy, and
Fun... most of all you have all you'll ever need.
Sometimes in the Fall when the Adult beaver get wary in a
colony if you haven't caught them the first couple nights.
You can make a Feeding station slide set using their own
small white feed sticks. Only Use a squirt of Birch Oil OR
Popple Bud oil to the mud allowing a couple drops to get in
the water and create a slick.... Complete your set Using
Non-Castor lures allows for me to catch many Wary Adults,
that won't come near Castor Base lure anymore
Lure recipe 2
Take a CLEAN jar. I like the small mustard or mayo sized
jars... Put any amount of dried, ground beaver castor in it,
add enough glycerin to completely cover plus about an
ounce...but do not fill the jar more than 3/4 full... The
longer this sets and ages, the better it will be.
Lure recipe 3
Make the lure the same as above with glycerin and dried
ground beaver castor, but also add 2 or 3 drops of poplar
bud oil, just enough to smell when mixed in... And, of
course, the longer it sets and ages, the better.
(The two lures above were my most used lures for beaver. I
found these lures worked as well or better than any other
lures I have ever used for beaver, whether homemade or
bought commercially...and they are simple and easy to
make... Before using them at your set, mix well with a clean
stick.)
Lure recipe 4
2 ounces dried ground beaver castor
1 ounce beaver sack oil
1 ounce glycerin
6 or 7 drops of birch oil (no more than this)
The above beaver lures are all time proven lures, and will
do their job if the trapper does his... know that no lure
will "call animals from across the pond", no matter what the
advertisements may say. And there are no "magic lures" or
sets... The lures and sets must be placed where the animals
will find them if they are going to work.
