The part after "Not so fast" is my favorite part of your video. I see dozens of programs on TV lamenting the loss of big game in Africa to poachers. What the people producing these shows do not realize (or care about) is that to fly across the oceans to make these shows and everything else used in production (cameras, phones, hotels, airports, roads, gps satellites, drones, etc.) required the destruction of millions of acres of habitat. The poachers are simply trying to live and their impact on the environment is almost nonexistent when compared to the self proclaimed concerned people.
THANK YOU SAM!!!!!!!!!
Thank you meat trapper I really appreciate that...Will do sir...
Sam Stewart I wasn't gonna comment but yeah best part was after "Not So Fast"
Love the message at the end. Nice video.
I agree, paving over paradise is worst, but in today's age and times there is much good about game laws. Buy a tag and license, learn how to hunt and enjoy yourself while you fill the family freezer. No hate here, I wish we had hogs in Oregon so I could try snaring large game.
If you prorate the items to the people involved (that is, a single traveler isn't responsible for the entire environmental impact of a road or an airplane) then it's nowhere near millions of acres. It's expensive in an environmental sense, but that's a gross exaggeration. The difficulty with poachers is when they're targeting endangered species. The northern white rhino isn't going to go extinct in the next several years because cinematographers traveled to film them; it's going to go extinct because poachers killed them in spite of their few numbers because some folks in China wanted pretend boner pills.
Sadly thinking for oneself is now practically a crime it's self. Thanks great video!
Ain't THAT the TRUTH !!
I love the "not so fast" part!!
Learned a lot from this video ! I’m new to trapping and your video is very easy informative. Thanks !
Thank you very much sir - I appreciate that.
Me too! and agreed!!
I've just recently begun to think about learning snaring as a survival skill; this video made complete sense to me, thank you for explaining in a way I could understand. I'm physically disabled now, so can't go hiking off into the woods like I used to do, but perhaps this is knowledge I can pass to my children in case they need it.
The end of your video...yes, people don't stop and think any more, logic and reason are a thing of the past I guess. Many years ago, when my children were younger, I hunted to keep us fed. A license and a couple of tags a year are far less expensive than purchasing meat from the grocery store, plus you're not getting all the chemicals and hormones in modern farmed meat. Sad thing though--one fall I took a young doe, which was perfect size for my small-ish freezer.
Our state publishes every deer harvested; by Monday morning, my female co-workers were calling me a murderer, Bambi-killer, which is really bizarre considering this is a rural state and a LOT of people hunt here. I guess they just never considered that females hunt too! Anyway, their reasoning was that we have a grocery store and why didn't I just go shop there? Good grief--they're all worried about me killing Bambi (how cruel!) but don't consider that some cow or chicken died for their supper too. One even told me that if we were hard up for food, why didn't I just go get on welfare! Just astonishing to me. I pay taxes just like everyone else, and resent people who just camp on the system for years at a time--I refuse to be someone else's burden. Anyway, don't know why your video triggered that memory, LOL, but it was a good video, and I appreciate it.
Thanks for another great and educational video. I must say I'm glad I'm not the only person that feels like people are now sheep and do what the government and corporations tell them how to live. Keep up the great work that you do Meattrapper.
Well said Wild Pagan. SHEEPLE UNITE! lol, sorry, couldn't resist.
Love your video's . Your right it's wrong that it's illegal to take a couple deer to feed your family, But perfectly legal for them to do what their doing to the wildlife for the long term.
randy54,
I might add, and in doing what they are doing are killing off lots of deer the land will no longer support.
But they are the ones who are / have the $$ to get the laws to benefit them selves !
@@victorcastle1840 😂 what are y’all talking about? Seems like a couple of nutsacks who don’t know about deer hunting😂
Actually, thinking is hard work and we all know that nobody wants to do that. Thank you for your insight, your candor and your honesty, Hopefully someone is listening!
Glad to see another video! I was worried with that last one I wouldn't see one for a while. Your channel inspires me and I thank you for it! Keep up the great work!
I'm doing a lot of mink trapping this year. I can place a 110 in a trail but if I put a cable snare in the same trail I'm now a criminal subject to heavy fines and suspended license. Tell me that makes any sense. Game laws are written to produce revenue for the State and to have control. If the State can tell you when and how you can procure food for your family that's a lot of power and control over an individual. Control the food supply, control the people.
Damn straight.
Well stated.
It's funny because I grew up in the woods and didn't even have a concept of hunting/fishing licenses or "limits" until I was in my late teens. People here in Louisiana just went out into the backyard and caught or killed whatever was edible (everything.) I ate so many blackbirds because my father said if I killed it then I had to eat it.
I never did wrap my head around a government agency dictating how I feed myself or loved ones and never have bothered with any of it.
Socialist capitolist communism at it's best, that's America for you.
State programs are responsible for restoring deer and other wildlife populations from the brink of extinction to abundant renewable resources with millions of acres of protected habitat, where the public can hunt, fish, and recreate. If you think that the 7 dollars I pay for a deer tag, that is mostly poured back into conservation, is some greedy conspiracy you are an absolute moron.
My like even more for that last part of the video. So true. Greetings from Switzerland.
Thank you sir - resist the immigrant invasion. Trust me - it will destroy your country. Do not join Sweden.
“He will destroy those who destroy the earth”. Thank you for this video.
I'm just wondering... what are you're talking about
@@deedeeedwinburks8614 Its from the bible.
I applaud your "not so fast" segment. Thank you.
Thank you for this post. I am new to this hunting, but I have eaten boar before, and it was better than store bought meat. In fact, I learned they do a LOT of damage to gardening, so I wanted to learn all I can about using a snare to catch things. My chickens will thank me for learning such valuable information that will help keep a defense line on our property and to make sure I can catch food with too. This is a good learning curve for me, as my husband isn't much for hunting.
You are always on point with great information with your videos. Great job.
And yes, Think for Yourself. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you my friend.
Thanks, I just ordered some snares made for hogs. I appreciate your tips.
One of the best snaring videos I have found online. Im fairly new to trapping and snaring so I am hungry (no pun intended) for trapping game. Thank you for producing a very informative video kind sir.
Thank you for giving us what you know. I really,really appreciate it.
My thoughts exactly when I see crap like that. Great point you made about it too! I understand construction and things have to be made usable, BUT, I can never understand why it has to be completely destroyed. I know they can work around and incorporate the natural setting into the landscape of any project. I know they know how to make less of an impact on the environment by leaving some of the original flora and fauna, and things looks better anyway when it's done that way. Seems to me it would be less costly also.
We lost our right to hunt when we agreed to licensing. We lost our right to own property when we agreed to pay taxes. We lost our right to travel freely when we agreed to buying a drivers license. Even if the permit is free, agreeing to it turns our rights into privileges. We don't even have the right to be a minister or business person. We relinquished them all thanks to the privilege of watchin TV.
You see straight sir
The trouble is that there's just too many of us to live a "natural" life.
Our instincts are to do what this gentleman showed us but we're reduced to eating meat from "factory farms"
Love the end of video. You exactly right my friend!
Great video, and I love your message at the end.
Awesome video, and presentation. Just received everything I need to snare some hogs. Wish me luck. I may VLOG it.
Still the best trapping channel!!!! Thanks much and happy New year my friend 😇
Our priorities are certainly screwed up. Thanks again for all the knowledge. Great respect.
Your "Not so fast" segment got me. Thanks and God bless.
Thanks for another great video, and you are so right about we must think for our self.
Thank you so much for the awesome info!!!! I have got to catch/remove a lot of pigs from a factory site. I know this info will help me a lot. I will be looking at all your footage about snaring as I am a newbie. We have harvested 581 pigs so far and have about 200-400 more to go.
You're right about needing to think for yourself. Many people follow along too much and give their power away.
I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS HAPPY NEW YEAR BROTHER GOD BLESS
In a survival situation, who's going to worry about legality?
The haters on youtube. just saying :)
the god in you! if there is no god in you then you are rogue or ungodly!
Terrorist cops and dnr.
Josef Saiedi The government is not God. Laws are not morals. If anything, laws are immoral instruments of tyranny.
Who’s to worry about legality even if it’s not a survival situation.
If you gotta worry about being caught doing somthing “illegal”, you need to find a better place to do it
As always a very informative tutorial, leaving nothing out. No one does it as well as you do my friend!
Hope you have a wonderful New Year my friend!
+The Meat Trapper I will if you do my friend. But stay away from crouds, those suckers like to run over people these days. I can sit on my roof and see the fireworks just fine from here. After the fireworks we can move the party down to the fire pit for a few beers and comerodity. God Bless and hope your new year is bountiful and full of pleasant surprises.
Just found your channel!! I think im in heaven
I gave a thumbs up, just for the end of the video. Amen
Great vid, nice touch with the plastic collar on the snare cable. Flemish eyes in 7x7 cable are simple and infinitely stronger than a crimped eye only. Also, swivels are just another weak link in snare cable in woodland situations. The animal will normally be wrapped up past the swivel before it serves any purpose.
The deer will love those green lawns and beautiful flowers in that neighborhood..
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
Love this channel!
Your channel was in my suggested videos, so I took a look, liked and subscribed. We share the same thoughts with all the construction. We damage more than we can fix, and then some wonder why things are so screwed up around us. Its a sad fact of reality.
Lookin 2kayak Thanks for subscribing!
Good instructional videos...I've learned a lot.
Thank You for another great video.
I don't condone snaring big game but if shtf I will be checking my snare line. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, thank you!
Mr. MT, consider floating the snare over the game trail for larger, heavier game. Cut your support wire long enough to anchor both sides of the support wire between a tree on each side of the game trail. Make sure to slide your support collar (Whammy) on the wire before anchoring both sides. (Height adjusted for target animal.) Once the wire is up, lash several larger sticks that are long enough to cross the gap to the support wire. Better yet, find where a game trail narrows into a tunnel made by trees. Make sure to keep the center of the support wire, above the trail, free of wire. I am sure you know the rest. Thanks for another cool video.
The message at end of the video was spot on
Once again, great video with great knowledge. And once again a true commentary on the sad state of humanity. Don't let 'em get ya down, and be careful out there.
Oooo I want to try this awesome tips
Great video. Great work.
God bless you for your ending statements!
I subbed cause of the not so fast part.
I appreciate real talk.
Good one Meat. I appreciate the irony & the skill.
Thank you.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video
Hello. Thanks for the survival information. The latter portion of your vid really struck a cord within my soul. "Progress" has ever pushed me into the wild places. Centuries ago man's settlements and roads were minuscule compared to the wild territory. Nowadays it's reversed, with "developed" lands choking nature into small pockets, barely, if at all, connected. Sadly Genetic isolation will ensue.Thanks.
Great information sir!
Bro...good on you for calling out the real invasive species in the end. Mahalo nui...!!
Awesome channel!
Great information! Thanks for sharing my friend. :-)
Love this content
I remember as a kid of about 13, one of my ponds I like to fish was being filled in to be made into a housing addition.
Yeah. I'm sure that foundation is great nearly 40 years later.
When I came out, I saw the trench they cut into the pond wall. I filled it back in!
Next day, I got in from school and went back. It was cleared and draining again.
did the same.
The crew and I were battling for about 4 days...then they got a bucket in there and made a 4' widex 8' deep cut.
I couldnt beat that.
I learned that "progress" sucked.
Love the ending of the video
Mr. MT, consider "floating" the snare over the game trail for larger, heavier game.

Very good idea - with that setup, you could use a much thinner gauge support wire because you are supporting it at both ends. I'm going to experiment with this. I feel a video on this in the future. Thank you.
You have a good heart
Good info Tim!
Todd Wittenmyer Backwoods Living! Thanks buddy! Hope you and yours have a great New Year. Stay warm up there!!
Great vid thank you
Good job thanks for ur time sir
My favourite part was the end. Exposing the criminal filthy elite.
Great video
Excellent. Thank you
Very helpful!
And it was probably all state or national forest land where they grab all the hardwood and plant Shit pine or poplar and call it forest management I like your final notes
Good vid Tim.I like to get ahead of the bulldozers and thin them critters out .These critters are getting pushed into smaller areas and that makes for more game for you and me.So we got to keep filling the freezer and leave a little seed stock.Good luck in 2018 and keep on catching.S.D.
It's kind of funny in the beginning of your video when I looked at that pretty section of hardwoods I thought to myself wow the Paper Company ought to be along any minute to come mow all this down
Great point in our society it's follow the leader he knows the correct path. Like the man said think for yourself.
That last part 👍🏼👏🏽
For decades behind my house there was a wooden corral for mountain cattle herds of 5 to 8 thousand head every year. Now there is maybe 4000 head each year but the forest service built the fanciest expensive corral with locking gates much larger for those rich ranch owners. It is a National Forest for the Rich now.
It's really simple and clever
Again all that I can say is thank you
Thank you for watching.
It looks like you are using aluminum on you cable loops.
I’ve had them pull out. Hogs are like a bulldozer.
I put 1/2 inch nuts in a fire to soften them.
Two mashed down on the cable end, has not failed me yet😉
Very true. I have since learned that the hard way lol
Your like lighting with that hammer.....................you never strike twice in the same place! 😎
Takes years of practice to get that good :)
Thanks for teaching me a dieing art anyway.
I remember going down to my Mawmaws place one summer in my teens and finding that the woods I grew up playing, hunting and camping in had been logged. It was heartbreaking. We couldn't even find our favorite spots in all that mess.
I hate it when there tare the mountains out im subscribed buddy great video
I agree with what you say me and you had conversations before in fact I bought one of your downloads of the SD bucket snare really enjoy that and I too am in construction and it makes me sad and sick when I see these native trees been stripped not even for lumber they're just being piled up just so they can have a shopping mall or whatever name is piled up out there to be burned. And what else is sad is the greed for instance here I am working on the same site and I burn wood for heat and the company would not even allow me to cut logs out of that Timber and use it to heat my home and warm my family. So if they come down to feed my family I would take the necessary steps to do so as you would these animals these woods around this are God's gifts first before man's in the beginning he told man to take care of these animals in the Earth we've done a real good job of destroying it so appreciate your Channel and it makes me feel good there's more than just me that feels this way. Darren Huffman from the Ozarks. PS when I was 16 I always snared I decided to try to snare a deer it works very well
I like your rig, I would only say the girth hitch is the weakest link in the whole rig, about 1/3 reduction in the holding strenght..maybe consider using a tensionless anchor around the tree..thanks for a quality vid.
Loved your ending. You’re darn right, I actually use the term “termites”. Our human society is just like termites, eternally eating more into the natural environment, destroying everything in our wake..for what? MONEY.
1x19 lets hogs slip out. I played around with all sizes cable , locks and cable type. I found the 1 x 19 slide off too many times . 7x7 snares bite an hold that coarse hair.
Glad you made the video.
I do things quite different as a set. I make a hog set like I would a yote set. I catch large hogs by doing this. No need for support wire. Carrying more junk than you need. Little pigs will knock a snare set like that letting you miss the biguns. That is a hope and a prayer set not a "I want a hog set ". Just different levels of experience. I make custom snares that will holdem.
Glad you made the video.
Hawkeye45 1x19 lets hogs slip out ?????
1x19 Cable a lil too slick. It works ok but you will lose hogs in late fall/winter due to the long slick guard hair on wild hogs. The 7x7 just dose a lil better. Roll a 1x19 cable an a 7x7 cable across your arms hair. I think it will help you understand the difference.
Would you explain how you make the hog sets like a yote set with no support wire to catch the big hogs - I'm lost. Thx.
I think the Meat Trapper will be updating this at a later date. I have worked with him to understand it also.
Hawkeye45 well that sucks I was hoping you would share your vast knowledge of snares with us common folks so we could understand it in a manner that would allow us to reach that next level of experience you speak of
Good stuff. People are so blinded by what the law tells us is right and wrong.
Garrett Brader Agreed. It's the preoccupation facilitating all others that killed our society.
Preach brother! Raping the land is considered laudable while humanely harvesting game is a crime.. I see that this video is 5 years old. I hope you're still around
Thank you sir. I have cancer, but I’m still around and able to still trap. Not like I used to, but I can still put food on the table.
@@Meattrapper I mean it when I say I'll keep you in my prayers
My best fishing hole now has fences and condos,2nd choice is heavily patrolled because we walk through a now protected swamp, can't have us breaking protected plants on our narrow trail.
Amazing 👍
Can you recommend any books on trapping? I'm learning A lot watching your videos and I will be taking the trapper course here in Ohio but I'd like to get some reading material for reference.
Thanks
Disobey. Start today.
hello from the UK, I was wondering what website I could get the cam locks and what the link is many thanks
Sure, I buy from Mr. Brian McKee at SouthernSnares.com. The link to the cam locks is www.southernsnares.com/products/deathblow-cam-locks. Feel free to call or email him and tell him that The MeatTrapper sent you - he will take good care of you and he regularly ships overseas so he is experienced with that. He is always happy to talk snaring and he is a master snare builder. Thank you for watching.
The irony is crazy! I feel ya.
I've unintentionally become really good at snaring deer while snaring for coyotes (no hogs in this area). Using a 10" loop 10" high seems low to be catching deer as often as I have, but I suppose I need to get the breakaway links.
Exactly !!! Our local “in charges” gated off about 80 acres because “people were leaving trash that was detrimental to the wildlife population” even tho we had volunteers that would clean the area. Then they dozed and graveled 2 miles of trees so that they could patrol the area 😡
the ending is so true
Great video sir, where would you suggest to get your material to make your snares? Once again great video!
Southernsnares.com has the best snares and components I have ever used. Tell them meattrapper sent ya!
Thank you.
When trapping big game, is it better to use the cam locks instead of the mini pro locks or slim locks???? If so, why is that?
imasurvivornthriver Honestly lock choice is just a matter of personal preference. I generally use slim locks, but will use whatever I have on hand.
Thank you for your videos very informative. I am going to get my trappers license this year I am very interested. I have been recently disabled and can’t clime a tree or draw a bow back and I love the woods. Can selling the fur support the cost of the license and supplies just wondering. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Bill Kicker Great to hear!
