I have used a mix of poplar oil and maple extract from the spice rack at the grocery store. I dont know if the maple helps attract them, since beaver don't eat maple bark, but it makes it a little louder. Might be more of a curiosity lure, but it works in mid winter.
It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, but only 3 for a proper trigger squeeze.

Earl just informed me they will eat maples. Now that I think of it I did see a small maple tree that was beaver chewed, but I assumed it was for dam building and not food.
I stand corrected. Thanks Earl.

Around here they took a liking to sweetgum. Finished up a nuisance job a while back that was all about beavers making a mess of a stand of sweetgums that were about to be timbered.
Personally, I think a beaver will adapt to just about whatever food source is easy and sometimes not so easily obtainable. Regardless of how goofy it may be!

Dobbins Woodchipper is a great food lure. I've had it work when they wouldn't go near anything castor-based.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Clint Locklear has one called "Beaver Buffet". I've caught beaver on it especially this time of year through the summer on Nuisance work. I'm sure Bogmasters is a quality lure as well, although I've not used it yet. Woodchipper is an excelent food lure.........my favorite.

How about Tom Olson (Bogmaster), does he have a beaver food lure? I've always heard Tom's beaver lures are first class producers. Ace Two thumbs up for Tom's MOUND MASTER!!! Good question. Does he make a beaver food lure? Ace, you're too modest. I've heard nothing but good things about your beaver super all call lure!!! When you gonna come out with a food lure? Did your dad ever mess with a beaver food lure?

If I understood it right( and sometimes I don't) Aspen Spice is a food lure that contains Aspen and Popular bud oils along with the cambium( the green under bark) and several other essential oils. It does not contain any castor, although the guy/company that made it( now deceased) also made a castor based lure that contained nutmeg, cloves,and cinammon included in his castor based formula. (said to have been a two old century formula that was used by many mountain men including Jim Bridger). I have used both lures and have taken beaver on both and I'm not the greatest beaver trapper but I catch my share. I think I still have some in a glass pint mason jar, which was how you bought it in the early 90's. Being that I have been around a lot of lures and knew many of the old time lure makers, including the late Fuller Laugerman, Dave Edwards, Michael Stecknicki and Charles or (Charlie as most of us called him) Dobbins just to name a few, I have a greater understanding of how lures are formulated than the average trapper. I still produce the (grey) "old catfish oil" the way Hawbakers used to make it, which was the same oil that the late Bill Nelson wrote of for his famed "Powder River Bait Solution". Many people don't even remember Hawbaker even making a catfish oil but they did. I have two of the original bottles. I have also learned and produce trout oil which I learned from the infamous "TB" , who produced the best if not all the trout oil sold in the US at one time. His products were sold and/or marketed by the best in the business including O'Gormans. I still am probably the only producer of sun rendered chicken oil because 1) it takes 3 years to get good oil 2)I had an unlimited access to chicken and 3) no body wanted the job! Many people have tried it in their bait or lure formulas as it was an old time lure base. When they speak of "bird fat" in a lure base, well that bird is a chicken. I have sold a lot of pints, quarts and in some cases gallons to regular trappers,all who have said it caught a lot of fur just used as is. It also is the base for my food scent "Montana Cold Roller" used by some very successful trappers. I don't advertise lures because I can't supply the trapping public. I do make and sell some though and some of the stuff I produce is private labeled. That's show biz I guess. My full time as a "squirrel trapper" keeps me busy enough!

What about Bob Wilson's Beaver lure? Bob's contains castor. But definitely in the curiosity category ! Good and oily that one is. Always leaked no matter how tight the lid was for some reason.

Tom Tom - I had always heard Bob Wilsons green beaver contained a small percentage of castor? But I can't/won't argue that point with ya, 'cept if'n I'm right I win a gallon of your mound master! LOL Would that common household item be turpentine? Or was it ever disclosed?
