    Great video, I have a helpful hint for you, when stapling into plywood, turn your staple gun so the head of the staple is running parallel to the grain, this way if the staple flairs out it will go into the grain instead of coming out the side.

    Do you fasten to the tree by 1 nail in the center or 2 , do your traps cables fasten to the box or tree ? I like your design very good !

    • @Biglandtrapper
      @Biglandtrapper  6 років тому

      Two nails, one on the top & on on the bottom of the box. Sometimes even give the extra 3rd nail to secure the box well to the tree...

    I really like the new style of box, plus you can salvage some of your old ones too! How many marten boxes you figure you have?

    I recall when Mr. Beaver and family moved back into the Washington DC area (suburbs) in the early 1980s. The yuppies in their BMWs and Porches would come around a sharp bend and hit a 50 pound beaver just destroying their toys. If it was cold enough I'd harvest the pelts.

    May I ask what is it you put in your boxes for bait?

    That little bait cash you make is a wonderful idea i bet there are a lot of trappers out there modifying the box cause of your video. Thanks for the idea. One suggestion use little glue when you staple them together, a good exterior glue helps keep them together long after the staple has rusted away, Another to secure and hinge the top why not the hole wire and the the screw hole and wire to secure with a longer life? just suggestions

    Great video sir! I like it as not bulky like the tapered boxes I use now for marten/fisher and half the plywood plus I like the bait "door". Is it 1/2" plywood?

      @@Biglandtrapper perfect. Not to thin Bill? My tapered ones I use are really a waste of lumber as too big but still work. I imagine I will have to modify a bit for my Belisle 160's?

      @@loneranger8293 yes that’s right just make a little bigger for the 160. 1/4 is good, sides made from lumber just front and back from plywood. I use different size scrap plywood as well but if I buy it I get 1/4.

    Cool , i did a similar setup years ago with square boxes bait separated by a screen, i found that they were not as effective as bait hanging, now i used 1/4" square screen, i believe the/your 1/2 " squares would/should work better???

    I have had problems with plywood boxes. The squirrels chew them up. Lumber boxes last way longer here. If you open the lid st the end of the season, the birds will get the bait and the bears might spare the box, Interesting to see how other trappers do things. Thanks for the video.

      I was thinking on making some with wood and plastic before, plastic from old broken tote pans. I say they be good, but hard to get a lot of plastic here. Certainly worth trying..
