[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1972679, member: 91783"] Over the years I've done a lot of beaver control work . It relates to coyote work in a few ways . The caster glands are used in lure and scent making as are the oil glands . The liver is used as bate often . The rest of the beaver is given to bear hunters that use it as bate for them . To harvest the glands it's best done in the spring when they are marking their territory and breading after the winter . I skinned them by cutting around their wrists and ankles then removing the paws and hind feet . I would cut around the base of the tail , then from between the lower teeth down the stomach to the tail . I would then skin the tight skin from the tail area up to the hip area where it has a layer of membrane between the layers of meat . I will leave a layer of meat on the hide . I turn the beaver over onto it's stomach step on it's tail and pull the hide up to the head then skin out the head . I will spread the hide out fur side down lay the beaver on it stomach up and cut the glands out they are beside the vent and are quite easily seen . When beaver use the caster for marking they will push urine into the caster sacks that will dissolve the caster . So to use the caster I would dry the sacks out then grind them up with a small hand powered meat grinder . put that into a bottle and get some beaver urine to mix in with it just like they do . Best beaver lure I found . When I use it for fox , coyote or cat lure or in bate it doesn't take but a lima bean size amount for a pint it's just a smell dispersing agent then .
