Water Lures For Trapping Beaver and Muskrat

Lure plays an important role in trapping beaver, muskrats, and raccoon.  Although these species can be caught in blind sets, the use of lure often reduces the amount of time to make your catch. On large creeks and rivers, it is often hard to find dens and runways almost necessitating the need for lure. The proper use of lure means you can set fewer traps, catch the animals quicker, and build sets where you want them.

Our lures for beaver, muskrat, and raccoon are a blend of musk, food, and curiosity ingredients.  They are formulated to be heavy odors that are carried by the wind near the water’s surface so the animals can smell them.

Adirondack Beaver Call Lure by Houben’s Animal Lures

Poplar Creek Beaver Call Lure

This lure has a very strong top note of bergamot but don’t let that fool you.  This is a very complex formula of seven ingredients which appeals to beaver on multiple levels. Developed while I trapped beaver year-round in Mississippi, this lure is one of the few lures that consistently attracts beaver in the blistering heat of summer. However, it also works great year-round.  During fur season I use it as my alternate lure and in situations where I want to attract beaver but without the aggressive response castor can elicit. 2 ounce bottle.
