Unbelievable resource for newbies! Picked up trapping a little over a month ago and have snagged a black yote and otter with much help from your videos. At the end of tanning process of the yote and boarding the otter and you cover it all. Keep up the great work, man. Much appreciated.
I appreciate your guidance man, you've gotten my knowledge up like crazy for a first year trapper. Got till Mid March here In Jersey, praying for my first Yote in the a.m. I put out a few really promising C.R sets today 🙏
Just started trapping a couple months ago and froze my furs until I have every thing I need (fleshing knife for one) this helps a lot. Learning as I go .
I’ve been using this method for years and it works the best that I’ve found, being a father of to young’s and working a 7-5 job I don’t have much spare time, I check traps in morning, skin at night, flesh on weekends…thanks for sharing Stu
Hi Stu, Just wanted to let you know that I FINALLY got a bobcat and am elated. Some credit needs to go to you. Thank you. I know you're not allowed to keep yours in Illinois but if you could at least make a bobcat video we could always learn from you, as we all have in the past. I am shit useless on baited sets. Blind sets I am getting pretty good. Take care.-Paul
I really appreciate your videos. Very informative and well explained. When you get a chance, could you do a fur stitching video? I know its not a common thing if you're only trapping, but for guys hunting furbearers, its required now and then. Thank you!
I got a question for ya boss man I had a big problem last furbearer with coons not pulling the trigger in the DP I use the same bait as you they get down to the trigger and then just leave any tips for this upcoming season? Thank you sir
Can you add to this..what do you recommend to put the fur in to place into the freezer..one bag 2 bags.. i froze several furs and had them triple bagged and they still freezer burned.
Hi Stue In a previous video you talked about washing your fur. When your spin cycle is done do you just put in dryer on low (no heat) lobg enough just for fur to dry out then refrigerate? I washed some by hand but do not have a dryer and i didn't like leaving it hang over night to dry fur before fleashing. Keep up the great videos. Thanks from ontario 🇨🇦
Hey Stu! love your videos and your passion for trapping! Question if considering freezing fur what’s a good approach to when to wash it and getting it dry before freezing? Also after the hide thaws out from the freezer do you put it back in the fridge to get the fat stiffer for fleshing again?
Stu hey you make awesome videos this has nothing to do with this video but was wondering your thoughts on 2 coil vs 4 coil traps if the 4 coils are better in frozen ground or faster
Thanks for the video. Curious why they need to be dry? I don't freeze unless I don't have boards ready or spring beaver to finish the following year and then I skin and throw in freezer asap
To freeze fur that I know will be in the freezer for a long time before I get them stretched, is to skin and flesh, then rollup ( same as you) and vacuum pack in a bag. I've had them good for 2 years by vacuum sealing. To a degree your limited to what you can bag, coyotes too big, but I've done fisher, marten, beaver, rats, fox, and weasels
As a trapper, and a taxidermist if you can get the hides sold asap. Also the inside of a rolled up hide will not freeze as fast, and the bacteria on the skin will still work on your skins. Best it to just fold once in half so freezes fast. I hope I didn't step on your toes with my advise.
Had a freezer full of bobcat and coyote furs rolled up until I could flesh them out and the power to my shed went out without my knowledge. Lost dozens of hides.
You always have good content, and I've enjoyed your videos for several years. But I can't help myself, could you define "unthaw"? LOL, if you "unthaw" something, wouldn't you be freezing it? I'm not making fun of you, or talking smack. I've several friends that use the same term, and I always make a comment. Keep up the good work!

He’s taught us all the things we need need to know. First year trapper an I’ve caught coon, fox , yote ,an skunk to possum.
Dang this is perfect advice for a low take hobby guy like me! Thank you, as always!
This is the first year I had to freeze a few hides. This video was just perfect for me at this time

Good luck man I just got my first yote in a set I never would of never imagined a coyote in!
Great vid as always. I'm a newbie, despite being 63yo, and learn a lot from your vids.

As always great video and very nice way to explain how to ....
Great info! That's what I do, but I put a zip tie through the eye hole and hang it.
Love your videos! Thank you for helping me learn so much.
Hello have a question in your fur tanning video why can't you use table salt with ionized table salt
Thanks for the videos. I've been a fan since you were on the Meateater podcast. Just started trapping a couple weeks ago.
That is great to know!! Thanks for sharing
Hey man could you show us how you deal with your skunk hides and handle them with out spraying or stinking?
Appreciate your advice always
Great info I freeze 90% of my catches then try pull out what I can flesh the next day. When time allows
Great info Stu and thanks for sharing. Later buddy and all the best.
Great video! Going to try this when i get a few next time. Only have one stretching board so this will help alot!

Very interesting

You just answered a question my boy asked me thanks
How do i do it with beaver
Can you add to this..what do you recommend to put the fur in to place into the freezer..one bag 2 bags.. i froze several furs and had them triple bagged and they still freezer burned.

I’m curious too
What’s the brand of your hip waders
Do you put dried hides in freezer as well or just let them hang
How do you deal with fleas before fleshing.

Hey Stu is there any word on the kayak that you said I won or the sweatshirt that I ordered. Sweatshirt was ordered the 3rd of January.
nice job.
As a trapper, and a taxidermist if you can get the hides sold asap. Also the inside of a rolled up hide will not freeze as fast, and the bacteria on the skin will still work on your skins. Best it to just fold once in half so freezes fast. I hope I didn't step on your toes with my advise.
How long can you leave them in a freezer for? Is there a time limit?
"Un-thaws" hahah! I say that on accident, too! What is it about that word? I think we're trying to say un-freeze maybe? Thanks for the video, Stu!
How long can the fur stay in the freezer?
Sup Stu
Unthaw means freeze.
How about a Beaver skin?
Lay them fur side down, bring each edge into the middle and roll them up, just keep them flesh to flesh and you’ll be fine👍
Had a freezer full of bobcat and coyote furs rolled up until I could flesh them out and the power to my shed went out without my knowledge. Lost dozens of hides.
I lost half my muskrats the same way last year
Happened to my brother. He lost a whole freezer of meat
Lost half a deer in one last year ..
Im confused everyone else says freeze fur flat🤷🏼♂️

But I’m 19 young and dumb could just be a luck thing
You should never roll fur stop giving people bad information
