I bought Dale's VHS vedio many years ago when bever first were making their appearance in my trapping places and I learned over half of my sets and a lot of anchoring techniques from that old vedio it was money well spent nobody's much better than Dale on bever and as he always says in that video he has dispatched a ton of them and I still learn something about every time I watch his material thanks Dale

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

Thank you David. I'm glad that I could help you out some. I appreciate you and I appreciate you watching these videos too

[@scottk0623]

Dale, this demo just popped up. What an outstanding demo, you nailed it. Thanks for sharing. Hope the trip home Louisiana was good.

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

Thank you Scott. Yes sir we got in bout 11 last night.

[@HaywoodVapeReviews]

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

Thank you for watching Matthew. I appreciate it

[@bmxdude1337]

Dale what are you doing playing around in that sandbox...lol good video, your demos and knowledge are appreciated.
Never knew that bit about otters and waterfowl. Also cool how you dig for medicinal herbs.

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

😂 thank you bmxdude. I appreciate everyone of y'all

[@chrisrice6958]

Getting older I’m interested in the multiple sets to catch all of them at once.thanks mr dale

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

I understand that Chris. Thank you for watching

[@jimspringer2531]

Great Demo Dale

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

@jimspringer2531 thank you. I appreciate you watching too

[@travismcquady6564]

If setting up a slide or crossover with a snare where beaver and otter are both using do tou change the loop to get the otter or just run ot half in the water, 8 in loop and let it ride

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

1/2 in the water with a 8 inch loop Travis.

[@michaellance3544]

When you have to use a relaxing snare lock due to regulations, what relaxing lock would you prefer? The Heavier Weight of the lock on 7X7 5/64ths cable will cause a faster close especially if only slightly loaded, has been my experience. Any 7X19 cable will really close fast w/o loading due to the "flimsy" (lack of cable memory) nature of the cable. What's your take?.....the mike

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

I either like the richart slammer lock or the micro. The slammer actually has a better lock up on 1x19 5/64 than any other relaxing lock I've tried

[@jayyelton1761]

Lily says she misses Timber. Lol

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

😂 somehow Jay I think she's fibbing just a bit. Thank you for watching

[@travismcquady6564]

Instead of a slide wire could you use a long chain or extension cable and stake away from the trail to preserve the trail or crossover?

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

He's going to destroy the trail on a long chain Travis. Unless there's something for them to tangle on

[@travismcquady6564]

@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 so just run a slide cable or plan on him tearing up the trail and remake down the trail

[@user-um6gf5kk4x]

How many and where are you placing swivels on the #11s?

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

1 at the trap 1 mid chain 1 at the end chain if you choose to Paul. Thank you for watching

[@nancystclair26]

Amazing.....great show!

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

Thank you for watching Nacy. I sincerely appreciate you

[@seankelly4607]

Just a quick question, do you preserve your fish in anyway or just fresh?

[@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531]

Freeze it Sean. Thank you for watching

[@CoyoteDeath]
