I'd love a more in depth look at how the snares work / traps work. Where you get them (or if you make them, how do you make them?), how you prep them, set them, take them down, store them, etc. or if you know of other channels that have that already I'm happy to check them out also! Love everything that you're putting out there so far!
Good ethical catches with quick kills. Glad you guys broke the dry spell, seems like the cold temps got things moving. We were in the 60's F last week and I'd like some colder weather for the month. Keep the videos coming. Hope you get to mix up the menu some with a partridge or something. Cheers.
Some of the guys I camp with say that I can snore loudly. I tell them, “No, I don’t snore. It’s a. Canadian lynx that’s a ventriloquist. It follows me.” I hope it wasn’t one that you caught? 😉 Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
Holy smokes it's Lynx-o-Mania! Wow, what great catches on the lynx and a nice dawg to boot! I noted last year that I hardly saw a single lynx caught last year so this is a thrill. Great job, great video.
Real life on the Canadian trap line. The only low point is where you forget to bring the bacon! But that squirrel did look mighty fine. Congrats on a successful season. Happy New Year.
Hey man, you should make a video on trapping. How you make your snares, if you make your own and how you use your hand to measure the correct snare placement.
Another wonderful adventure video in The Great outdoors, happy hunting! Cozy looking hat by the way, if you don't mind me asking what brand is that one? maybe I'll pick one up :-)
I believe the brand is Gisdanchz. I bought it off Amazon a few years back. Works great for keeping the sun out of my eyes while riding a quad or skidoo. It's also very warm. Thanks for watching!
Cool sounds good I'll definitely have to check it out and see if I can find one. Thank you again for all the great videos I always look forward to the next one.. Have a Happy New Year :-)
Try preseting your traps wire around dog and jaw. Saves time safer can carry better flatter. Snip wire and set. Get your hand caught in 1 cold fingers can ruin a season
Do you sell the fur from those animals . They don't put up a fight because it's too cold to put one up. They lay down to think about it and fall asleep and just don't wake up. Bad for them but good for you. It's nice to see you and your dad at the cabin together. How many beavers do you usually trap in one season.Thanksvfor sharing your video. I wish you a great year. Stay safe .
We send most of the fur to a fur auction. We usually keep a few pelts for personal use. In regards to beaver trapping it really depends. Some years we trap problem beavers for land owners. On average I'd say we trap maybe 6-12 beaver per year. I appreciate you tuning in. Take care!
I think these days they average around $2. High end might be around $5. There's not much money in fur these days, sadly. We don't trap for the money though, we trap to play our role in the conservation of the resource. Thanks for watching!
I trap rabbits too. You'll be seeing that on the channel soon. Even though the bait is frozen it still has smell to it. Plus once the crows and ravens find it the coyotes are drawn in from their calls. Thanks for watching!
I get it from the skill point of view and if living so remotely you need to rely on the nature but it feels bit unnecessary to be honest. Lynx is such a graceful animal and pity to see it killed in such number. But different country, different customs and values.
New subscriber here! Loving the videos thanks for bringing us along!

Love the video, very well rounded with showing some technique and the cooking the meat was awesome. Great work!
First trapper I've seen on UA-cam purposely going for squirrels. Ever. And I've seen a ton of trapping videos through the years. Cool.
I think people should make a bigger deal out of squirrels because they are a missed opportunity for sure I can feed a family indefinitely
Wonderful videos! I have enjoyed everyone. Thank you for taking us along.
It's a treat when you post! Thank you for the content.
Great start. Keep them coming
Great video again, continued luck on the line!
Congratulations on the Lynx catches! I'm glad to see the wolverines left them alone. Nice to see your videos again.
Always a pleasure! Great content!!
Thank You for another great video. Keep em coming.
Enjoyed this video very much....put in a lot of hard work! Definitely appreciate the respect you have with the animals when trapping.
I do enjoy each episode

Yeah it sure is a relief to start getting some fur. I'll be trapping rabbits soon so the menu should broaden a bit. Thanks for watching!
Nice catches!!! Wish I had Lynx where I lived.

Hey man, you should make a video on trapping. How you make your snares, if you make your own and how you use your hand to measure the correct snare placement.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to include that in future episodes.
👍
Congratulations on the nice catches!!! Just need a pipe and a whiskey too celebrate!!!
Cheers! 🥃🥃🇨🇦
Haha yes I'll have to include a little celebration soon. Thanks for watching!
Awesome.
COOL
Always remember the chin stick.
Do you use the lynx for both food and fur? Do you eat the lynx meat?
Your welcome for the idea using a CD to attract the lynx. Told you it would work.
Hi great videos. Are these animals considered pests in Canada?
Looks like your off to a good season. Squirrel hat should be a good project for the other channel.
What’s the name of the other channel? Thank you
@@ronland1821 Kusk Bushcraft.
Thank you
What will you do with all these pelts, I’m curious?
Curious, where are you located? Like where do you call home? I am from Northern Maine.
I remember the good old days..when fox would bring $45 ...coon $25 and humble muskrats netting almost $10 ..... update me on fur prices today ??
That money is crap money.
Would like to start trapping red squirrels in northern mn what type of wire are you making your snares out of

What is your most sought after pelts on the trap line? Thank for sharing!
Wolves, lynx, coyotes, and marten.
Hey bro you are available on this channel 😃😃❤️❤️❤️
Do you ever harvest any Snow Shoe Hares?
Yes. I will be showing my rabbit snaring soon. Thanks for tuning in.
What do you do with the meat of these animals.
What if you feed it to your dog?🧐
Try preseting your traps wire around dog and jaw. Saves time safer can carry better flatter. Snip wire and set. Get your hand caught in 1 cold fingers can ruin a season

What size wire did you snare squirrels with? I couldn't even see wire or was it thin cable ??
It's a thin wire. 26 gauge stainless wire. Thanks for watching!
@@KuskWild I'm guessing your twissing a loop in the end to made the lock, is that correct ?
How much do squirrels bring?
I think these days they average around $2. High end might be around $5. There's not much money in fur these days, sadly. We don't trap for the money though, we trap to play our role in the conservation of the resource.
Thanks for watching!
Are squirrels the only edible animals that you trap? If bait is frozen how can it attract prey?
I trap rabbits too. You'll be seeing that on the channel soon.
Even though the bait is frozen it still has smell to it. Plus once the crows and ravens find it the coyotes are drawn in from their calls.
Thanks for watching!
One womans wilderness was using this tool to remove roof snow: 2:38 ua-cam.com/video/HqfFBZNhu0A/v-deo.html
Looks more efficient and safer.
I get it from the skill point of view and if living so remotely you need to rely on the nature but it feels bit unnecessary to be honest. Lynx is such a graceful animal and pity to see it killed in such number. But different country, different customs and values.
why kill them?
Horrible!
It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. Man has to play a part in keeping nature in balance.
@@efgeebe yeah look how good the world is going
