Bounty Beaver is a food lure

I'm thinking Art's LD beaver is a combo food/curiosity , someone correct me if I'm wrong!

you are correct, possum skinner, about art's lure.

Possum skinner and Whitetailaddict:
Thanks for your comments concerning the quality of Beaver Super All Call, I appreciate them!
My Dad's idea of the best possible lures was to combine everything in a lure for all animal species that would appeal to all known calls of the animal, thus the name "All Call" was coined. The Beaver lure falls in to this catagory as well as other species lure being both a combined gland and food lure along with some other secret calling attractors. Ace

Beaver #2(food lure)

Well s u d d e n l y there's a whole bunch of food lures! Anybody mention "Aspen Spice?

"Aspen Spice? ............You mentioned it earlier..but...I thought you were talking "extracts"...Is that yours?...what is it bottled under?.....

Vinke
A couple you should add to your list are:
Fox Hollow Pond Drainer castor/food combo
Fox Hollow Dam(n)-a-Dam castor/food combo

I use both of them. But let me say I buy Dam(n)-a-Dam by the pint!

Who makes aspen spice? I've not heard of that one.

For summer trapping, don't forget sack oil. It works when nothing else will.

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!

Yes Lt Grey, cinammon or actually oil of cassia is an old time beaver lure attractor. Where the idea comes from is that Beavers in Asia favor the cassia tree just like they do poplar in North America. Even though a North American beaver has never smelled a cassia tree, the odor still attracts them through instinct. Ace

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.
