Lennit depending on how much ya have mixed into yer castor usually the castor will still work. were the castor whole or ground ya added it too?? ive had some that were bone dry before and added glycern to get them so i could grind them with my hand grinder.it soaks in and softens them up.it should work fine as a curiosity lure for those mentioned.

lennitrapper - next time, ya just need to leave the castors whole (thin red membrane removed) ... wet or dry and grind adding a minimal amount of glycerine to ease the grinding process and add body to the castor

I can't see why you would dry the castor then grind It. Just open the sacs like you did scrape out the contents and place In a bottle and add glycerine to make a paste. If It comes out of the beaver like that then It's good enough for me. Been using It like that for 20 years or better and It works.

So lets say I took fresh castors and scraped out all the contents then I left the contents dry out. Would I end up with the same product If I would have left the contents dry out In the sac? I just find it a real bear to grind up the dry stuff when It's dried In the sac.

If you took the contents out and let it dry, I believe you would end up with beaver castor gravel. The stuff dries into some hard stuff. Heck Beav, you're having great luck using it freshly scraped from the sac... keep doing it that way. When its working for ya, there's no sense in changing.
The dried castor in the sac is a bear to grind with a hand grinder. I don't let mine dry all the way. I like mine to be dry on the outside and yet when squeezed, they are still pliable on the inside... kinda like a stiff putty. The shells will be hard, but with my electric grinder, it doesn't matter.

The Most important ingredient................ Do you think a a Beaver lure can be Formulated That makes the Beavers TOO AGGRESSIVE????? ....or is it The individual Beavers personality?????????........... ......The last batch I experimented with they Went NUTS!

I like to dry mine for a few days. Just until the outside of the sac is a bit leathery and dry but the inside is still "mushy"..I then freeze mine. Ill let it thaw about halfway out then grind it. Seems to me like when trying to grind green castor the skin fibers plug up the plates in the grinder too bad.

i've ground my fair share of dry and wet/green castor ... is it just me or doesn't castor have a wide variation of ordors with each varying level of dryness? ... it does to me! some of the best beaver lure i ever whipped up was from super extremely dried & aged castors ground to a fine powder then semi rehydrated & formulated into a usable consistency ... it was by far much more potent than any green/semi dry castor i have dealt with ... i named that lure "headache" ... it would give ya a castor buzz for sure so, once again who else if anybody has noticed the varying odors ???
