I'm so glad your doing trapping videos again! Prices suck but we still have to keep the tradition alive!! Keep the videos coming and look forward to next one!!
Very similar to the set I made only I had a 330 in front as you stated was an option. I did set a foothold on a drowning rod but my pan tension was to light, got a muskrat in it. I still have to nightlatch my new traps, I'll have to rewatch you vid on that again. I have learned a ton from your videos, thanks for what you do.
I like your set using the u-shaped approach. I used to use 750's but went to TS-85's since they are easier to set on my knee in the water. Thank you for the trapping vid. I've missed you making them. Trapping is what attracted me to your channel a few years ago.
Excellent. Thanks for going to the effort of videoing this for us. I too was wondering about your trowl but I read where you answered that question. Could we see a better view of your setters. You said you made them. I prefer to make as much hunting/fishing/trapping gear as I can. Fun and most times cheaper.
Good catch I got a pair of them setters Stu I can’t set either without setters I also got a pair for 550 650 same setter really don’t need for 550 but handy on 650 especially when I’m by myself
Great video. We have a couple of 750's but we since have went to TS-85's. They set easier, have wider jaws and for us hold as well as the 750. Price is about equal.
What's it cost for you to send me a beaver tail !?! Lol need some for ice fishing. Love the videos man you are seriously great at what you do and very informational. Always learn some Thing new from your videos! Thanks for sharing brother
That mb 750 trap is a hoss. I have caught beavers by the toenail and they would be in the trap the next morning. Where did you get those trap setters from. I have the little ones and they are a pain
Great video. I think I’ve been overthinking some of my beaver sets. I’d love to see how you utilize the oil glands of the beaver. I take the castors, of course, but I’m not sure what use the oils glands are.
What if you dont know where the lodge is? Or maybe dont have permission to set the property the lodge is on. This is just one of many sets that can be used to take critters. This video is just intended to showcase the castor mound set.
I've caught beavers with 1.5 for raccoons, but it's not ideal. So a #3 would work with a 6.5" jaw spread, but probably not the first choice. Just keep in mind that large beaver have big back feet, so the smallest that I use is a bridger #5. I have bridger #5's, ts-85's, cdr's, and 750s for beavers... The 750s are nice, because the trigger system holds down the lose jaw.
Love watching your videos and my girlfriend's 9 year old boy follows you religiously since he's been trapping with me. He has put together a little bit of video on his very own UA-cam channel. His channel name is Brennan Payne. If you could subscribe and comment on one of his trapping videos that boy would be on cloud nine for the rest of his life! It would mean the world. Keep up the good work!
Hey bud I hit u up on ur TV channel on Facebook can u give me a layout on using a 10 in PVC pipe for fleshing boards they would only send 4ft pc in mail I'm in the blue ridge mountains in stuart Va ur ever around hit me up I'm 59 yrs old n have learned more from You in my yrs or trappin been trappin Before u were born Keep it up
That's more like a 35lb beaver! I wouldn't advise setting a leghold drowner at that site as the water is not near deep enough to drown a large beaver caught by a back leg. If it's not at least 4 feet deep then I use a conibear to ensure a humane catch. It could still very easily reach the surface to get air. The anchor weight is also on the light side. I use 40lbs of gravel in a feed bag as I've had 25lb weights walked to shore. If you used something that light on a hard bottom, a big adult beaver will just walk your weight to shore resulting in a non-humane catch . The beaver will most likely then chew its leg off or you'll have a live animal in your trap when you check your set (could be 2-3 days later). You should mention that you should never use this set adjacent to a public roadway or in any area where there's a chance of someone's pet dog being off leash during a walk. A real bad day for the dog, and the trapping industry when the dog steps in your trap when it comes to your castoreum lure.
BENEFITS OF BEAVERS: • Beavers are considered a keystone species because they develop wetlands that attract and support literally thousands of other species. Beaver wetlands are among the most biologically productive ecosystems in the world. Beavers increase plant, bird and wildlife variety, improve water quality, and raise salmon and trout populations. Beavers are biodiversity in action. • Beaver dams hold water on the land and the weight of it replenishes groundwaters and raises the water table, mitigating the worst damage from droughts. • Beaver dams slow water speed, which greatly reduces erosion and prevents 'incised' or deeply eroded streams that don'ts support much plant or animal life. • Beaver ponds provide flood control by gradually releasing water and redcing the height of the flood waves, eliminating or reducing dama to human structures. Beaver dams also smooth out water flow by increasing the area wetted around the stream, which allows water to seep into the ground and slows its flow. • The slow flooding that creates ponds and results in green 'beaver meadows' slows the spread of wildfires. • Beaver ponds remove pollutants from streams by metabolizing the decomposing them via the bacteria in the cellulose-rich bottom of a beaver dam. • Beavers are family-oriented and beaver pairs are monogamous who have kits every year, with two-year old kits living in the family home. If you trap beavers to kill them you are destroying families and ruining ecosystems that they work hard to create. I am sure God does not look kindly on your wanton destruction of His creation.
Beavers are also destructive. Flooding crop ground and destroying ornamental trees to name a couole issues. Yes, they are beneficial in certain places while destructive in others. Your right, but there are instances they need removed. Explore both sides of the argument for yourself.
Kind of forgot about the millions of dollars in damage they cause to roadways and infrastructure in your list. Edit: and I thought God put the plants and animals here for us to use?
I'm so glad your doing trapping videos again! Prices suck but we still have to keep the tradition alive!! Keep the videos coming and look forward to next one!!
Your hard core doing bare hands with water sets in December
Very similar to the set I made only I had a 330 in front as you stated was an option. I did set a foothold on a drowning rod but my pan tension was to light, got a muskrat in it. I still have to nightlatch my new traps, I'll have to rewatch you vid on that again. I have learned a ton from your videos, thanks for what you do.
Nice to see another video! I’m watching in my deer stand and filming lol
Good luck
Thank you
Get me some of that Strap :-p
Good lesson. Thanks for using your time to help out folks who may be just getting started. Commendable!
Great video! Glad you showed the catch and that it worked! Well done
Thanks again for a trapping "how to".. I always enjoy and learn from them.. Looking forward to more on trapping..
“Get this guy taken care of” LOVE IT😎
I like your set using the u-shaped approach. I used to use 750's but went to TS-85's since they are easier to set on my knee in the water. Thank you for the trapping vid. I've missed you making them. Trapping is what attracted me to your channel a few years ago.
Great explanation of your set and catch.
Thanks for an excellent demo!
very well done, castor mound is a very productive set
Enjoyed this video man great job with it
Awesome video man really good info plus nice and simple keep the videos up
Nice job! Just like you drew it up!
That's a great set Stu. I've caught a lot of beaver with that set. I like using foot holds more than 330's
Those One Handed Setters are it!!!
Excellent. Thanks for going to the effort of videoing this for us. I too was wondering about your trowl but I read where you answered that question. Could we see a better view of your setters.

Great catch!
Great Video Stu you still got it
Great trapping info thanks love this stuff!
Awesome video I enjoy the trapping videos! Tight chains!!
Works for me, great info thanks.
What setters are you using, I need a pair of those!
Still haven't found those setters haven't gave up yet.
Yes, a trapping video! Finally!!! Your the reason I started my trapping channel! awesome video. Great job explaining!
I enjoyed it nice job 👍👍
Great video!
Good catch I got a pair of them setters Stu I can’t set either without setters I also got a pair for 550 650 same setter really don’t need for 550 but handy on 650 especially when I’m by myself
Another nice video.
this guy's videos made me better at fleshing and stretching raccoons!
Same.
I like keeping it simple nice set
Great video. We have a couple of 750's but we since have went to TS-85's. They set easier, have wider jaws and for us hold as well as the 750. Price is about equal.
Where did you get the trap setter you used to set the beaver trap?
That’s awesome!
With the beaver do you make beaver tail oil? If you don't it has a very mild scent to it. I haven't made it yet but want to.
Good stuff
Where did you get your perforated spade shovel from? Could you please IM the info? Thank you very much! Really enjoy your videos.
Brand new to trapping, excellent videos! Wondering what the tool you used to set that trap is called and where I can find one!
If simple gets the job done then that's all you need!!!
Great job Stu!! Hope you haven't froze up after this cold front came through :-)
Looks like its going to warm up by the end of the week.
Got my finger in a 750 once let me tell you it was an experience. I’m still shocked it didn’t break
Thanks
What's it cost for you to send me a beaver tail !?! Lol need some for ice fishing. Love the videos man you are seriously great at what you do and very informational. Always learn some Thing new from your videos! Thanks for sharing brother
What make model and size trap is that and does it come night latched or is that a modification you do?
Any suggestion on a good bait for skunks?
I love using that set . And you are write always use a drowning set on beavers and otters too. Good video and job tho
That mb 750 trap is a hoss. I have caught beavers by the toenail and they would be in the trap the next morning. Where did you get those trap setters from. I have the little ones and they are a pain
Great video. I think I’ve been overthinking some of my beaver sets.
I’d love to see how you utilize the oil glands of the beaver. I take the castors, of course, but I’m not sure what use the oils glands are.
The oil glands are good for lures
where did you get that trap setter
Is that 3/32" drowning cable you are using on this beaver set?
What kind of setter is that? Did you modify an original MTP setter?
An I wrong or do you want your cable to be tighter an as little slack as possible between anchor an weight?
I wish we could use this method of trapping in Washington. Unfortunately we have to use cages.
I Use the rebar drowning rod with a 750 best beaver set up ever.
Can you do a video on how you make the drowning rod
@Coon Creek Outdoors how do you stake done your traps on a gravel river bank for beavers
where can i get that style trap setting tool
HOW MUCH OF A WEIGHT DO YOU USE AT THE END?
where did you get those setters? those aren't the typical setters you get
Отличный урок!
I use duke #3 for beaver is that an ok size
How can you be reached, to get some beaver meat?
Where did you get those pcs that you set the trap with?
I made them
You can order MB-750 setters from most trap supply houses.. Cost about 10 bucks..
Привет!приманку сам делаешь?
Why dont you set right at the beaver hut on an entrance? Will they sense something's off?
What if you dont know where the lodge is? Or maybe dont have permission to set the property the lodge is on. This is just one of many sets that can be used to take critters. This video is just intended to showcase the castor mound set.
Gotcha, I'll have to try a set like this, I always just use 330s!
Got my thumb in one of them 750’s (once) won’t do that again
Now you know how painful it is to an animal much smaller than you. Hopefully that will develop some COMPASSION in you.
@@terredee ok bud
@@terredee that just shows your ignorance. All my beaver traps are offset. Thus the smaller the animal the more comfortable it is.
@@terredee that's why they get rigged to drown after stepping in the trap. Compassion.
How die the beaver in these trapsystem ?
Why don’t u post more I got in to trapping beachside of you bye and love your channel
#3Duke good on beaver
What chest waiters u got?
Whatever i can find on sale. I go through one pair a season
I hear alot about the nite set I've seen your video is it to set your pan more level only
Yeah the night latch is an audible click to let you know when your pan is level and ready to fire.
Как капкан называется?
Can I do this with #3s
I've caught beavers with 1.5 for raccoons, but it's not ideal. So a #3 would work with a 6.5" jaw spread, but probably not the first choice. Just keep in mind that large beaver have big back feet, so the smallest that I use is a bridger #5. I have bridger #5's, ts-85's, cdr's, and 750s for beavers... The 750s are nice, because the trigger system holds down the lose jaw.
I think the 330's are terrible about making beavers shy. I do alot of control work. MB 750 is all i use. I never leave a beaver on a job.
If ya can't learn from this then I'm not sure what would teach ya. 👊💀👍🇺🇸🍻
I know beaver use castor mounds for marking territory, do they attract females

hard to beat a castor mound... until somebody else educated em first lol

Please dont kill beaver.
Please don't tell us what to do.
