That’s a good informative video.
On the small beaver I just suck the castor into my mouth, bit it off, then spit it into a jar. Just a joking !
In all truth I don’t mind the smell of castor, my wife is different story.
It is very difficult to remove castors and oil sacs from a beaver since they are hidden under a thin membrane of muscle.
Thanks for sharing this video on how to locate and remove the Castor glands and oil sacs from beaver.
They are located right above the vent hole and the knife and your fingers would come in handy.
Though we term them castor glands, in reality they are not glands. The oil glands are used as a scent additive by trappers. Due to its proximity to the anal gland, castoreum is a combination of castor gland secretions, gland secretions and urine.
This beaver harvest of often profitable for the trappers. Castoreum is used in fragrances like musks.
I once had a beaver caught in my yard using a trap with the help of inputs from wildlife removal services (http://www.hawkeye.ca/pest-wildlife-animals).
I could successfully extract the castor. I found one similar youtube video on how to remove castor sacs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXFgkwiD_zA.
It is wise to place castors in an onion bag or paper bag while shipping. When it comes to larger shipments, they should be shipped in a cardboard box.
Bear in mind, there is no market for shipping oil glands.

Haha! I don’t mind castor either. I tell my wife it smells like perfume, but she’s not buying it.
Most Lynx are attracted to it.
I suppose that’s what matters.

Can you use both caster and oil glands together for beaver lure? Seems like you could since they both put out a beaver smell.
Yes, sure can. Both work well, alone or in combination.
